The future of Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been in a dilemma since the arrival of Deshaun Watson. The Browns traded Deshaun Watson from the Houston Texans. Unsurprisingly, he will be the starting quarterback for the Browns next season.
This situation has left Baker Mayfield searching for a new team in the league. Shockingly, he hasn’t found any success in finding a new team. Most teams are well set on the quarterback position, while some teams have drafted new talent through the NFL Draft 2022.

It’s quite unfortunate what Baker is going through presently. Not so long ago, he was destined to carry the Browns franchise for the foreseeable future after he performed well in the 2020-2021 season.
However, bad performances throughout the last season have made the franchise look for another quarterback than him. Deshaun Watson is ready to take over from Baker, and he may do a better job than what Baker did in Cleveland.

With almost every team set at the quarterback position, chances are significantly less for Baker to find a starting role at any team for the next season. The only team that comes to mind which can try to land Baker is the Seattle Seahawks.

The Seahawks didn’t draft a single quarterback in the Draft. They only have the likes of Geno Smith and Drew Lock as their quarterbacks who would fight for the starting position. As a result, there is a high possibility that Baker might end up in Seattle before the next season.
