Now we play the waiting game.

The Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has entered the fourth year of his NFL career, which means he is now eligible to reach a long-term contract with Cleveland. However, no one knows when this transaction will be realized.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, The Browns and the quarterback have not yet “substantial negotiations on the renewal”, the contract situation may extend to the 2021 season.

The report clearly deviates from Recent comments from Mayfield agents Tom and Jack Mills, Who said they hope to reach an agreement this summer. However, Mayfield has said that he is not worried about when the transaction will be completed.

Mayfield is part of the top five quarterbacks selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft and is eligible for a fourth season contract extension. Some speculation suggests that Mayfield’s camp is currently waiting for Bill quarterback Josh Allen and Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson to set the market with their pending contract extensions. Allen won a Pro Bowl and won two playoff victories; Jackson has an MVP, a Pro Bowl and a playoff victory, while Mayfield has not yet entered the Pro Bowl and has a playoff victory.

Mayfield’s performance has not yet reached the level of Allen or Jackson, so their price tag may not reflect the long-term signed price of Mayfield.

“We think he is their person, yes,” Mills said. “Every indication we have indicates that Baker is the man of the future.”

The future value remains to be seen.
