Mayfield thanked the fans for being good to him.

The owners and officials of the Cleveland Browns recently conducted a meeting with Deshaun Watson, the player they’re hoping will serve as their quarterback in the next NFL season. With a new QB on the horizon, the current QB, Baker Mayfield, is reading the writing on the wall, and decided to offer a few words to the fans while he could.

“The past 4 years have been nothing short of truly life changing since I heard my name called in the draft to go to Cleveland. This is not a message with hidden meaning. This is strictly to thank the city of Cleveland for embracing my family and me,” Mayfield said in a letter posted to his personal Twitter. “We have made many memories and shared growing in this process through all the ups and downs.

With many uncertainties, here is where my head and heart is. pic.twitter.com/psipN96cmh

“I have no clue what happens next, which is the meaning behind the silence I have had during the duration of this process. 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. That is something I’ve always done at every stage, and at every level. And that will not change wherever I take my next snap. Whatever happens … I just want to say thank you to the fans who truly embraced who I am and the mentality that aligned so well with this city’s hard working people.

“Cleveland will always be a part of Emily and my story. And we will always be thankful for the impact it has had and will have in our lives. Sincerely, Baker Reagan Mayfield.”
