Andrew Berry isn't ready to publicly commit to Baker Mayfield as the Browns' quarterback of the future.
Avoiding any promises one way or another is not a surprising approach for Berry because the new general manager still has the final half of the 2020 season to evaluate while deciding whether to exercise the fifth-year option in Mayfield's rookie contract, sign him to an extension or neither.
The first overall draft pick in 2018, Mayfield will be eligible for a new deal after this season. Short of the long-term commitment an extension would bring, the Browns must make a decision on the fifth-year option by the first week of May.
