Baker Mayfield vs. Kevin Stefanski: Fallout continues after the Cleveland days

Baker Mayfield and Kevin Stefanski’s feud is back in the spotlight. Fans are still talking about their time in Cleveland and how Mayfield reacted after Stefanski’s recent move to Atlanta.

Mayfield and Stefanski spent two seasons together with the Browns in 2020 and 2021. In 2020, they went 11-5 and made the playoffs, even winning against the Steelers for Cleveland’s first postseason victory in 26 years. Stefanski won Coach of the Year that season. But 2021 was tougher. Mayfield battled injuries, including a torn labrum, and the team finished 6-8 with him as the starter.

After Mayfield left Cleveland in 2022, the Browns traded three first-round picks to get Deshaun Watson and signed him to a $230 million deal. That move, combined with Watson’s contract, is seen as one of the worst in NFL history. Stefanski stayed as coach but only managed one playoff season with Joe Flacco in 2023.

Mayfield, now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has made $100 million and led the team to two playoff appearances, winning the NFC South both seasons. Recently, he reignited the feud on X, responding to criticism about his Browns tenure.

“Failed is quite the reach, pal,” Mayfield responded in a repost of D. Orlando Ledbetter’s comments, which he wrote on X last Tuesday. He added, “Still waiting on a text/call from him after I got shipped off like a piece of garbage. Can’t wait to see you twice a year, Coach.”
