Baker Mayfield went from hero to zero pretty quickly.
Baker Mayfield has very few options remaining if he wants to remain a starter.
Now it appears Baker has lost yet another potential suitor after ESPNâs Dianna Russini revealed that the Seattle Seahawks have âno interestâ in trading for the former No. 1 overall pick.
âThe Seahawks have been telling me from Day 1 they have no interest in Baker Mayfield,â Russini said on The Ryen Russillo Podcast, via Bleacher Report. âTheyâre riding Drew Lock, which we can talk about that another time. Thatâs their choice.â
Could talk with @ryenarussillo about anything, all day long. Fun discussing NFL Draft and QB drama. https://t.co/CRF8CQ9Wr9

Mayfield is set to make $18.9 million during the 2022 campaign before he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2023. In any trade Cleveland would want the other team to take on most of that guaranteed salary.
âThe Cleveland Browns do not want to take on that contract,â Russini said. âThey donât want to pay for that. I donât know the number theyâre willing to go toâbut the last I checked, which was about a week-and-a-half agoâthey want nothing to do with that deal. If you want Baker Mayfield, youâre going to pay that money. Clevelandâs not going to try to split it up with you.â

Finding a trade partner is going to be very difficult if the Browns aren’t willing to split up the contract.
Baker is probably going to be in Cleveland for a little bit longer.
