The Seattle Seahawks reportedly "don't sound overly eager" to trade for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.
Seattle has significant leverage in potential negotiations. Anderson notes the Seahawks are hesitant to take on Mayfield at his current salary, given he's "in a situation where they feel Cleveland has to eventually move him."
Mayfield is owed a guaranteed $18.9 million for 2022 from the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. The Browns would be left with the entire salary in dead cap if the quarterback was released, but they can clear the full amount with a trade, per Spotrac.
