Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield will not be attending the Browns’ voluntary OTA’s that open Tuesday, as expected.

Once again, the drama between the Browns and Mayfield seems to be getting worse. Now, it’s worth noting that there’s no upside to Mayfield attending OTAs.
His time as the face of the franchise is over, and putting him on the field is only going to be a distraction for everyone involved.

Having said that, this situation should never have gotten to this point. The Browns should have already moved Mayfield, and the fact they haven’t is kind of stunning.
Look, they have no real leverage in this situation. With Deshaun Watson on the roster, everyone knows the Browns need to trade him. That means you’re not getting a high pick.
So, the Browns just just take a fifth rounder and move on. Keeping him on the roster is a disaster for everyone involved.
