Look at Mayfield, Browns are on the hook for over 18 million for one year (2022) and teams are reluctant to trade for Mayfield due to only 1 year contract and it appears Mayfield is messing with the Browns and will not talk to some teams for a longer contract.
In essence, Mayfield's trade value is dropping for the Browns and the Browns need to dump his 2022 salary, but can't unless they find a trade partner. They cut him, they still have to pay him the entire contract.
okay maybe that was it they can get out of the 5th year option by signing to a long term contract. i just remember a way to get out of it
