Even then, it was important to get Mayfield signed before camp opened. The last thing this team needed coming off a winless season was to see its No. 1 pick holdout of the start of camp. That now won’t be an issue.
The #Browns have agreed to terms with QB Baker Mayfield, source said. The No. 1 pick has a 4-year deal. He gets $32.68M fully guaranteed with a 21.85M signing bonus.
