Baker Mayfield contract talks stall as Browns eye QB decision

The Cleveland Browns are facing uncertainty at quarterback as training camp approaches in late July. Head coach Todd Monken must choose between Deshaun Watson, who has struggled with injuries, and second-year players Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel, both of whom had disappointing rookie seasons. Rookie Taylen Green may also get some playing time. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield, former Browns QB, is in contract negotiations with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but has stated that both sides are 'not close' to a deal. Mayfield has set a deadline for contract discussions to end at the start of training camp, prompting speculation that he could return to Cleveland in 2027 if negotiations fall through.
