Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield‘s name has come up today.
To begin with, he is one of the noteworthy players skipping the Browns’ OTA workouts this week.
Some #Browns players not at voluntary OTAs today in addition to Njoku, who’s skipping while he awaits new deal: Myles Garrett, Joel Bitonio, Baker Mayfield, Jack Conklin

Others include David Njoku, Myles Garrett, Joel Bitonio, and Jack Conklin.
Nick Chubb is at OTAs, and no one should be surprised he was asked about Mayfield.
Maybe what he said will surprise some who believe Mayfield may not have been well-liked in the locker room during his career with the Browns.
What Chubb Said
Chubb confirmed that he has been in touch with Mayfield.
“He’ll still always be one of my best friends. He’s a great guy. I know with his intensity and his attitude, wherever he lands, he’ll be ready.”

Chubb is an honest guy so perhaps his words will dispel some of the offseason chatter that no one on the team spoke up for Mayfield.
In addition to being at OTAs, Chubb was in the Bahamas last week with Deshaun Watson and the offense so he is probably ready, like the rest of us, for the Browns and Mayfield to officially part ways so that everyone can move forward.
His words make it obvious that he is cheering for and believes in Mayfield.
Mayfield Talks About Robb Elementary School Shooting
Mayfield has not been on social media much this offseason.
He got back on today to post some consoling words regarding the Uvalde, Texas tragedy.
Mayfield is a native Texan.
Uvalde is about 350 miles from Mayfield’s home in Lake Travis.
Emily and I hope we can all come together to prevent another tragedy like this from ever happening again. Now is the time for real progress, real teamwork and real solutions. If not for us, then for our children and our children’s children. #UvaldeStrong
— Baker Mayfield (@bakermayfield) May 25, 2022
“We mourn the tragic loss with the nation and our fellow Texans of these beautiful children and adults in Uvalde. The heartbreak, the devastation and the nightmares will last a lifetime for many…Now is the time for real progress, real teamwork and real solutions. If not for us, then for our children and our children’s children. #UvaldeStrong.”

I’ve been a long time fan of the Cleveland Browns but after what I’ve seen and read on the way the organization has treated Baker Mayfield I’m DONE. Baker played with heart last year .wherever he ends up at I will be cheering him on. Hopefully he gets to play against the Browns and whips the shit out of them.
DITTO!!!!!!!!
DITTO!!!!!!
I couldn’t agree more!
Wow….one guy said something positive about Mayfield. One guy!!!! That surely must mean that he wasn’t a locker room cancer because he actually had one friend! that’s all it takes is for the guy who has probably never said anything negative about ANYONE, and I’m sold. lets cut deshaun and bring baker back!!!!
Yeah. Even Antonio brown can find someone to give him praise.
Yes, the “one guy” that everyone on the team respects and doesn’t have a lot to say to the media, found it important to take the time to show support for one of his best friends. Good job, Nick. Stand-up guy. Yep, Wyatt Teller, The Chief, Kareem, all these players must’ve been photoshopped in with Baker, choosing to ring in the New Year with the “cancer.” OBJ….yes, he caught 5TDs, but he literally averaged the same 3 catches for 38 yards a game in LA. I wish OBJ all the best, and a speedy recovery. He has immense talent, and I wish him a return to his NYG success, but right now he receives recognition & praise based on past preformance. Not 3 for 38. What other WR would?
That jerk only caught 54,per cent of passes thrown to him. Why throw to him???
Idiot! Baker did not deserve what the Browns did to him. They stabbed him in the back for no reason. Last year was not Mayfield’s fault. Play calling sucked, defense blew games that.would have put them in the playoffs. Maybe some day you’ll get back stabbed and see how you like it. I’m a long time fan and I may be done to. How many white guys are on the team? Ask the GM
Tried making a reply to you but they would not post it. So I’ll just have to call you an asshole
Baker Mayfield is a bum he had four years in Cleveland and he was too inconsistent Odell Beckham was WRIGHT he couldn’t even get the ball to his best receiver and then odell Beckham wins the super bowl with the rams nobody wants Baker Mayfield he is washed up!!!!
Your corny
Yeah, Baker’s a bum. I mean he only won our only playoff appearance in over a decade, and on top of it he beat the Steelers on the road. Baker’s never lost 12 games in a season, unlike Deshaun. Yep, Baker’s a bum
Playing injured does not make him a bum.. Unwise, perhaps, but not a bum. By the way, I think the Browns’ braintrust also acted a bit unwisely. Baker should have been shelved 6-7 weeks before the end of the season. His poor performance was due to playing injured, and regardless of his desire to keep battling on the field, the guys in charge should have made the decision to shelve him and stuck with it — for Baker’s sake as well as for the team. Ultimately, this was a call that should have been made by coach Stefasnski and the front office, and they blew it.
I agree 100 percent
He should have been put on the shelf after week 2
How come you post responses from jerks but not mine?????
Dude, looks like you’re really just trying to sound racist now. “Brother”? Really “Brother”???! I can’t believe you would even use that word that way. Not cool, it completely makes you sound like a little entitled racist brat. I can’t believe how brazen some people are these days with just spouting off racist crap.
Why does someone always turn an issue to RACE. It was ok when OBJ was hurt and didn’t play or played like crap. It was ok when OBJ didn’t practice with his new QB, Baker Mayfield. Baker had no issues getting the ball to Higgins or Landry. Landry was a much better receiver then OBJ. Let’s not forget OBJ pulled the same crap with the Giants. OBJ did not win the Super Bowl, as usual he got hurt and didn’t finish the game. His teammate and Super Bowl MVP Cooper Kupp did.
I think Baker did good job we need him back our team cause he is best quarterback in nfl
