The Browns, With Their Stable QB Situation, Are Excusing Baker Mayfield From Next Week's Mandatory Minicamp

AND NOW, THE STARTING QUARTERBACK OF YOUR CLEVELAND BROWNS, JACOBYYYYY BRISSETT!

This reminds me of a movie where the screen freezes and the narrator says, "You may be wondering how we got here". Well folks, here's how we got here:

- Baker Mayfield tried to play through injury last season instead of getting surgery, and he sucked

- We decided that since he sucked and was the only reason our talented roster didn't win, we would chase after Deshaun Watson. We did not tell Baker this though.

- We conducted a THOROUGH investigation into the allegations surrounding Deshaun Watson

- We signed a guy with 22 (at the time) civil lawsuits against him for a mere $230 million fully guaranteed contract, ruining our relationship with Baker

- We can't trade Baker for a ball of peanuts because everyone knows our relationship is ruined and there's a 0% chance he ever plays here again, making our leverage non-existent

- Our THOROUGH investigation turned out to be like 2 questions (not including any to the girls involved) and turns out there's a whole lot more issues than we originally knew

- Deshaun Watson looks like he's out for a year minimum

- No chance Baker comes back to play after we completely railroaded him

- Jacoby Brissett will now lead perhaps the most talented team in the NFL

**If you think the Browns can just pivot back to Baker Mayfield you need checked into a mental hospital because your brain doesn't work properly. The relationship is ruined. He will never suit up in a Browns uniform ever again.
