Baker Mayfield requested for the Cleveland Browns to trade him.
Baker Mayfield just told ESPN: “It’s in the mutual interest of both sides for us to move on. The relationship is too far fine to mend. It’s in the best interests of both sides to move on.”— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 17, 2022

This news broke after the Browns talked to Deshaun Watson. Unfortunately for the Browns, they are out of the running for Watson. Not only that, but now it looks like they have severely damaged their relationship with Mayfield.

Ok, so what teams could they trade Baker to?
Let’s say the Browns move Baker Mayfield, but not for a QB. Would the Browns then turn to trading for Jimmy G? Or would they look at signing Winston or Mariota?
Or do the Browns keep Baker for one more season, and then draft a QB in either the 2022 or 2023 Draft? They could draft a QB like Malik Willis or Kenny Pickett this year, and let them sit behind Mayfield and Case Keenum for a year. The 2023 Draft is expected to be a great QB class, so the Browns could just wait and draft a 1st round QB in 2023.
