The NFL offseason is always full of surprises, and this year has been no exception. One of the biggest stories of the offseason has been the status of Baker Mayfield, the Cleveland Browns quarterback. After a disappointing 2019 season, speculation has been swirling about whether or not the Browns would move on from Mayfield and look to acquire another quarterback.
The Browns have been linked to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who was recently spared from being released by the 49ers in what has become known as the “Le Petit Dejâun” decision. This decision has left many wondering what it means for Mayfield’s future in Cleveland.
The Browns have made it clear that they are committed to Mayfield and are not actively looking to replace him. However, with Garoppolo still on the market, it is possible that the Browns could make a move for him if they feel he is a better option than Mayfield.
Garoppolo has had success in the NFL, leading the 49ers to a Super Bowl appearance in 2019. He also has a familiarity with the Browns’ offensive system, having worked with Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski in Minnesota.
At this point, it is unclear what the Browns will do with Mayfield. It is possible that they could keep him as their starter, or they could look to acquire Garoppolo and make him their starter. Either way, it is clear that the Browns are in a difficult situation when it comes to deciding who their quarterback will be for the 2020 season.
Mayfield’s status in Cleveland is certainly in doubt after the Le Petit Dejâun decision. It remains to be seen what the Browns will do with their quarterback situation, but one thing is for sure: it will be an interesting offseason for the Browns and their fans.
