Baker Mayfield and Deshaun Watson
The Cleveland Browns had a rather forgettable 2021 season. With 8 wins and 9 defeats, they finished third on the AFC North points table and failed to make their way to the playoffs. One man who particularly had a disastrous season for the Browns was Baker Mayfield.
Baker was expected to guide his side to wins, however, throughout the season he failed to find his rhythm and was caught off-guard by even mediocre defenses. As a result, he was trolled mercilessly and speculations started arising that the Browns might want to release him.
“I have no clue what happens next”: Baker Mayfield
After the disastrous season, it was evident that the Browns will look to make some drastic changes. Although it isn’t clear where Baker will end up, Browns met Deshaun Watson on Tuesday which is an indication that the franchise is not willing to give more chances to Mayfield.
Adding fuel to the fire, Baker took to Twitter to post a lengthy message thanking Cleveland fans for their support. “The past 4 years have been nothing short of truly life-changing since I heard my name called in the draft to go to Cleveland. This is not a message with hidden meaning. This is strictly to thank the city of Cleveland for embracing my family and me,” he wrote.
“We have made many memories and shared growing in this process through all the ups and downs. I have no clue what happens next, which is the meaning behind the silence I have had during the duration of this process. I can only control what I can, which is trusting in God’s plan throughout this process. I have given this franchise everything I have. That is something I’ve always done at every stage, and at every level.“
“And that will not change wherever I take my next snap. Whatever happens… I just want to say thank you to the fans who truly embraced who I am and the mentality that aligned so well with this city’s hard-working people. Cleveland will always be a part of Emily and my story. And we will always be thankful for the impact it has had and will have in our lives. Sincerely, Baker Reagan Mayfield,” he posted.
Moreover, as reported by Mary Kay Cabot, there is a high chance that even if Deshaun ends up with the Browns, Baker might not be roped in by the Texans. Mary reported that the Texans are actually looking for picks and not players. They are seeking three first-round picks for Deshaun.
Indeed, this seems to be a tough time for Baker. However, he is someone who has the talent to turn things around and it won’t be a surprise if he ends up giving fantastic performances in the coming season for whichever team he ends up playing.
