Browns reportedly discussing Baker Mayfield trade with 1 AFC team

Deshaun Watson has touched down in Cleveland, effectively marking the end of the Baker Mayfield era. Mayfield may not have to travel far for his next NFL stop however.

Jordan Schultz of Boardroom reported on Friday that the Browns are having discussions with the Indianapolis Colts about a possible Mayfield trade. The Colts are looking for a new starting quarterback after dealing Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders earlier this month.

There have been some indications that the former top overall pick Mayfield has very strong interest in going to Indianapolis, a city just over 300 miles away from Cleveland. Mayfield recently requested a trade from the Browns, and they should be willing to grant it now that they have acquired Watson.

Of course, the Browns will focus on maximizing their return for Mayfield, not necessarily sending him to his preferred destination. As such, it is worth noting that another NFL team appears to be in the running for Mayfield too.
