BEREA, Ohio -- The Cleveland Browns have exercised the fifth-year option on the contract of quarterback Baker Mayfield, a source told ESPN.
The move extends Mayfield's contract in Cleveland through 2022, when he'll make $18.86 million.
Last season, Mayfield -- the No. 1 pick of the 2018 NFL draft -- quarterbacked the Browns to their first playoff victory in 26 years. In that 48-37 win over the Steelers, Mayfield passed for 263 yards and three touchdowns as the Browns snapped a 17-game losing streak in Pittsburgh during their first playoff appearance since 2002.
