Just in the nick of time, the Browns avoided any possible training camp hold out from No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield by finalizing a deal with the rookie on Tuesday night.
The contract locks up Mayfield for at least the next four years, with that valuable team option available in the fifth year. Mayfield barely waited for the ink to to dry on the paperwork before taking to social media to express how excited he was to officially be a Cleveland Brown.
“Thankful for all the blessings and everybody that helped make this possible!!! Time to go to work,” the Heisman winner captioned a picture of him signing the contract on Instagram.
