NFL Rumors: Browns and Seahawks Discussing Blockbuster Trade

The Cleveland Browns are doing whatever they can to trade quarterback Baker Mayfield and from the sounds of it the Seattle Seahawks are one of the only teams interesting in the blockbuster move. The Browns had previously discussed Mayfield with the Carolina Panthers, however those talks have since broken off.

Mayfield wants out of Cleveland and you can't really blame him after the team went and sent a mega-package to the Houston Texans for Deshaun Watson and his 20-plus lawsuits for sexual harassment. And while Watson is saying all the right things and even offered to take Mayfield down to the Bahamas, along with the rest of the offense to get to know everyone better, the Browns starter for the past several seasons wanted nothing to do with it.

Mayfield's situation in Cleveland has caught the attention of many across the NFL including Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. Burrow sat down with the Nelk Boys Podcast and opened up about his thoughts what's going on with his inner-state rivals:

Look for Mayfield to be dealt before training camps begin and for the Seahawks to be one of two teams who offer a package full of draft picks and potentially Drew Lock who they just acquired from the Denver Broncos for Russell Wilson. QB Musical Chairs continues in the NFL...
