Baker Mayfield Trade Rumors Revealed Prior to NFL Draft

Is Baker Mayfield actually going to be traded?

We are now just hours away from the 2022 NFL Draft and there may be some trades to watch for during the three days of the NFL Draft.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield is one especially to keep an eye on. While a few teams have been tossed around as being interested in Baker, there are now a few unknown teams who may want to trade for the disgruntled QB.

Via Cleveland.com:  

“As the 2022 NFL Draft kicks off tonight, a handful of teams have expressed interest in trading for Baker Mayfield and the Browns could move him over the next few days.

The Panthers are one of those teams, and the Seahawks might be another. But there are a couple of teams that haven’t yet been identified who could come forward over the weekend depending on how the draft falls.”

Feels like this is dragging into training camp if Baker doesn't get moved this weekend https://t.co/IzzFVZMgeS

Kadarius Toney, 3rd round pick (#81) for Baker (Browns pay half of Baker’s 18MIL) and 6th rounder (#202)? https://t.co/AXKlbRBjke

If the Seattle Seahawks trade for Baker Mayfield, it is most likely cause they couldn’t land their guy in the draft. Drew Lock is on the roster for Seattle, but they still need more pieces in the quarterback room.  A battle at the position will work best for the Seahawks and that means bringing in a veteran or rookie.

The problem still remains that the Browns will likely have to pay some of the nearly $19 million that Mayfield will make during the 2022 season. That money is fully guaranteed.

We could be in the final days of Mayfield being a member of the Browns, but wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him still on the roster following the draft.
