Mayfield hasn’t been traded because no team wants to have to pay him over $18 million dollars next season. The Browns are probably also wanting a high draft pick him and he isn’t worth more than a 4th round pick at this point in his career.
The fact is if they are depending on Mayfield to bail them out if Watson is suspended, they are just plain stupid. I don’t see Mayfield wanting to play another game for the Browns and if he is still with the team going into next season, I don’t see him being a positive influence in the locker room or on the field.
