On Tuesday, Mayfield thanked Browns fans in a message on social media.
“I have no clue what happens next, which is the meaning behind the silence I have had during the duration of this process,” Mayfield wrote in a post. “I can only control what I can, which is trusting in God’s plan throughout this process. I have given this franchise everything I have.”
After Mayfield’s trade request surfaced, Cleveland.com reported, citing a league source, that the team won’t “accommodate his request.”
