It's still hard to believe the Browns had Baker Mayfield in their building, and let him get away.

“When people show you respect — the higher ups, the GM, head coach and owner — I think that helps quite a bit. But when that stops happening, you kind of get to a point where it’s like, ‘Fuck you.’ Basically. Because I want to play for somebody that wants me to be here. And when you don’t feel like you have that respect or their desire to have you at all and they treat you different, it’s like, ‘Well, I don’t want to be here. Fuck you guys. I’m going to somewhere else. I want to be treated the way I should be treated because I’m fucking winning you games, taking you to the playoffs.’”
