Entering 2019, with Freddie Kitchens charged with leading the team and the Browns acquiring superstar receiver Odell Beckham Jr. in the offseason, there was nothing but optimism going forward. Of course, that combo wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Kitchens only got the Browns to a 6-10 record that year, with Cleveland missing the playoffs.
Midway through the season, the Beckham saga emerged -- the receiver’s father shared a video of Mayfield consistently missing an open Beckham. During the tumult, teammates said they would be open to welcoming Beckham back, if that was what the receiver wanted. Ultimately, he departed for the Rams, but it was messy drama in a disappointing season, the kind of drama producers of theA team that had Super Bowl hopes didn’t even make the playoffs at 8-9 and limped to the finish line.
During the hectic days after that, Mayfield requested a trade and Watson signed with the Browns. But the saga was far from over as Cleveland and Mayfield waited over three months for his next landing spot.
