exasperated by a nagging shoulder injury suffered by Mayfield during the 2021 season. They either gave up on him, totally mis-managed and/or treated Mayfield's injury, or personalties got in the way, possibly triggered by Odell Beckham Sr.'s whining about the lack of targets to his son (GM Berry released Odell Beckham Jr. in November, 2021).

The trade for Beckham was a disaster, and one I predicted then would haunt the Browns for years. But Cleveland wasn't finished -- they proceeded with making the worst trade in the history of the NFL by acquiring Deshaun Watson. And that will haunt them for a decade.
