Proposed Trade Lands Browns QB Baker Mayfield To Packers!

It appears the rumors that Baker Mayfield may be leaving The Browns is true.

It appears that the Cleveland Browns have plans on getting a new quarterback since news of a proposed trade has QB Baker Mayfield heading to the Green Bay Packers…

CelebnSports247.com the Green Bay Packers will likely be looking for their Aaron Rodgers replacement this offseason and Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield is being pitched as an option.

A proposed trade by Bill Barnwell of ESPN lands Mayfield and a slew of other assets — with the Packers in exchange for Rodgers.

However, Barnwell dubbed the situation an unlikely one but did break down what he felt it would take.

Barnwell wrote:

If the Browns were the team that put together a huge package for Rodgers, though, it would make sense for the Packers to ask for Mayfield as part of the return. To be clear, it would still take multiple first-round picks alongside Mayfield to get a deal done.

Trading for Rodgers would make the Browns a surefire contender but there’s a question of if Rodgers would even be interested in playing for Cleveland. He’s flirted with retirement previously and the Browns would have to give up the farm to land him. With his future even a few years down the line in question, the team would have to get some sort of commitment about his plans.

The Heavy reports:

There’s also the fact that the Browns aren’t well built out at the wide receiver position. Jarvis Landry’s future with the team is up in the air and if he’s released there’s no true No. 1 receiver in Cleveland. While young guns Donovan Peoples-Jones and Anthony Schwartz have shown upside, they’re far from a Davante Adams, who Rodgers has been throwing to since 2014.

From the Packers’ perspective, along with a treasure trove of assets, they’d get a young quarterback that has shown upside when healthy.

While there’s much conversation about the Browns quarterback situation, the team has publicly backed Mayfield as the starter for next season.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry told reporters at the end of the season:

We have been with Baker for a long period of time at this point. We know his work ethic, we know his drive and we have seen him as a talented passer in this league. We are looking forward to him getting healthy and continuing to make improvements. We expect him to bounce back next year.

Mayfield had surgery on his non-throwing shoulder to repair a torn labrum on January 19 but is expected to make a full recovery in time for training camp. He played nearly all of last season with the injury, wearing a brace on his non-throwing shoulder after attempting to make a tackle during Week 2 against the Texans. Mayfield tossed 17 touchdowns and 13 interceptions last season.

As of now he is taking some me time and has gone MIA on social media.
