It's been a whirlwind of a calendar year for . This time last offseason, he was coming off of a 2020 campaign where he helped lead the to the playoffs and advance to the divisional round. Fast forward through the 2021 season, during which Cleveland went under .500 and was on the outside looking in on the playoffs, and Mayfield is now on the outs with the Browns after the team pulled Buddy Johnson Jersey off a blockbuster trade to land in a deal with the .That acquisition of Watson effectively ended Mayfield's time with the Browns, despite him still being on the roster as the club looks to trade him to some other QB-needy team. What team that is, however, remains a mystery.Wherever he ultimately ends up, Mayfield has a believer in . The quarterback appeared on the and explained how he understands the lure of acquiring a player of Watson's talent level from a Browns standpoint, but also relayed his faith that Mayfield will be able to bounce back as an upper-echelon signal-caller at his next stop."That's a tough situation. He was hurt all last year. Every time we Chris Wormley Jersey play him, he balls," Burrow said of Mayfield, via . "First time we played him -- Jack Ham Jersey Thursday night during Week 2 of my rookie year -- we lost like 34-30. The next time we played them, I throw for 400 yards. He goes like 25-for-28 with five touchdowns. He went on a two-minute drive, touchdown, they won the game." "I think when you have a guy like Deshaun Watson , you gotta take a chance at that because he's such a great player," Burrow continued. "But Baker will land on his feet. He's a really good player." TB QB #6 CMP%60.5YDs3010TD17INT13YD/Att7.2 As Burrow noted, Mayfield played through injuries last season, which contributed to a dip in his stats. He was placed on injured reserve at the tail end of Alan Faneca Jersey the season and underwent surgery to repair a torn labrum. At full strength, the former No. 1 overall pick in 2018 was able to put up solid numbers. Back in 2020, his first season under head coach Kevin Stefanski, he posted a career-best 95.9 pa ser rating and has 26 touchdowns to just eight interceptions (career-low). Of course, the question now turns to where Mayfield will play next. Looking at the current landscape, there are not a ton of avenues for him to be a plug-and-play Week 1 starter. Seattle has been a popular pick after it traded away and didn't take a quarterback in the 2022 NFL Draft, but T.J. Watt Jersey Pete Carroll . So, while Burrow may be in Mayfield's corner, we haven't yet seen a team that feels the same way enough to pluck him off Cleveland's roster.
