Browns’ Mayfield will reportedly get QB competition
The Browns will explore all options at quarterback ahead of the 2022 season, according to a report from Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com.
Cabot notes that the expectation is that Baker Mayfield will begin the year as Cleveland’s starting quarterback. However, rookie and veteran options will be considered as potential roster additions.
Mayfield underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder in January. He is expected to be ready for training camp later this summer.

The same report from Cabot noted that the Browns are working on retaining receiver Jarvis Landry. Landry has emerged as Mayfield’s favorite target since Odell Beckham Jr. was released this past season.

Both Mayfield and Landry were banged up this past season, and will be looking to rebound in 2022. It will be a pivotal year for the franchise, as the Browns look to restructure Landry’s contract and see if Mayfield’s final year of his rookie deal yields positive results.
If both perform well in their respective “contract years,†the Browns will have clarity with two cornerstones of their offense as they move into the future.
