Browns Won’t Get Much For Baker Mayfield Trade!
Things are not working the way Baker Mayfield has hoped. The Colts went a whole other direction for a quarterback, and he’s basically shhhh out of luck. Get more details about Baker Mayfield Trade
CelebnSports247.com previously reported that the Seattle Seahawks were a possibility for Baker Mayfield and now they are looking to be his only choice since landing spots for quarterbacks are drying up on the daily.
See, Baker Mayfield was sweet on heading to the Indianapolis Colts, but from their perspective, they had eyes elsewhere. On Monday, The Colts made a move for Falcons four-time Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Ryan.
And they landed him, just like that. As for The Colts being Mayfield’s first choice, that has gone out the window. Time for plan B, since the team decided to go with 36-year-old Matt Ryan instead.
Why The Browns Won’t Get Much for Mayfield
The Browns gave up a lot to acquire Deshaun Watson, and if they had hopes of recouping some of that draft picks back, they are sadly mistaken.
Per Adam Schefter via Dov Kleiman:
The Browns had conversation with team about Baker [Mayfield] and the team asked for a pick from the Browns to take Mayfield’s contract. If anyone thinks they’re going to get a high premium pick for Baker Mayfield they’re mistaken.

Then, The Browns beatwriter Mary Kay Cabot had this to say:
Baker Mayfield’s 1st choice, the #Colts, never heavily engaged with the #Browns before trading for #Falcons Matt Ryan; landing spots drying up as #Saints tab Jameis Winston and the #Falcons Marcus Mariota
