Baker Mayfield recently opened up about the pain and disappointment he felt during his departure from the Cleveland Browns, describing the experience as being treated like “dirty laundry.” In an emotional moment, Mayfield revealed that after giving his all to the franchise for four seasons, he felt blindsided and discarded when the team decided to move on from him. The Browns pursued Deshaun Watson while Mayfield was still under contract, a move that deeply affected the quarterback’s confidence and trust in the organization.
Mayfield acknowledged that while the NFL is a business, the manner in which the separation occurred left him feeling disrespected and unwanted. “There was no communication, no heads-up, just silence,” he shared. “It felt like everything I had done meant nothing.” Despite the hurt, Mayfield expressed gratitude to the fans in Cleveland who supported him through the highs and lows, and he hopes they remember his heart and effort on the field.
Now with a new chapter ahead, Mayfield is focused on growth and proving his value in the league. “That chapter’s closed, but I’ll never forget how it made me feel,” he said. “Sometimes pain is the best motivator.”
