According to Cleveland.com, Hunt requested a long-term contract extension from the team’s owners.



His basic salary will be only $1.35 million, but the team’s salary cap will be $6.25 million because of the incentive. If this is the case, both he and the Browns will have to make a choice regarding his future.



In the absence of an agreement, it doesn’t seem like the 26-year-old will sit out training camp or the regular season. He was questioned about the matter by reporters during his minicamp media availability, and he was open and honest about the process.

I’d love to finish my career here and just keep playing the game with (Nick) Chubb longer and with the great guys on this great team.”<cite>Hunt told Cleveland.com</cite></blockquote>

A report from the Akron Beacon Journal‘s Nate Ulrich says the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/nfl-news-jadeveon-clowney-re-signs-with-browns-on-one-year-deal-989-20220522-SPD-989.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> will pass on signing free agent wide-receiver <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/nfl-news-jadeveon-clowney-explains-why-he-chose-to-return-to-browns-1133-20220529-SPD-1133.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Odell Beckham Jr.</a> A free agent after being let loose by the Los Angeles Rams at the conclusion of last season, Odell Beckham Jr. is now searching for a new club to join in the NFL.



He previously spent one season with the Cleveland Browns. In November, he was dismissed by the Browns following a dispute with quarterback <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/nfl-news-david-njoku-and-browns-reach-four-year-contract-agreement-1102-20220527-SPD-1102.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a>.



Even though the 29-year-old will be out for a while due to a knee injury, a number of franchises are interested in signing him. Those teams apparently do not include the Browns.



<h2>Browns-Beckham Jr: Reunion improbable</h2>



Beckham signed with the Los Angeles Rams shortly after being released by the Browns. Before that, he had 21 receptions for 288 yards and two scores in four playoff games, including the Super Bowl, including a touchdown reception.



In an Instagram post with the headline “Come Home The Fellas Miss You,” Myles Garrett pleaded with Beckham, who is currently a free agent after tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, to come back to Cleveland.

NFL Rumors: Browns' interest in reuniting with Odell Beckham Jr. slim to non-existent

It’s hard to tell what will happen to <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/nfl-ring-value-how-much-does-a-super-bowl-ring-cost-188-20220502-SPD-188.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baker Mayfield</a> in the future, even if it seems like he won’t be part of the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/super-bowl-champions-list-of-all-time-winners-215-20220503-SPD-215.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> for much longer. However, transferring Mayfield has been hard thus far, despite the Browns making it plain what they wanted in <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/nfl-rumors-falcons-interest-in-deshaun-watson-drove-matt-ryan-away-from-atlanta-360-20220504-SPD-360.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deshaun Watson</a>.



Only a few teams haven’t already decided on a starting quarterback, and then there are the ones that don’t seem to be intrigued by the 27-year-old. For example, the Carolina Panthers seem to be out of the running.



In addition, even the <a href="https://news.thesportsdrop.com/nfl/which-is-the-most-valuable-nfl-team-169-20220503-SPD-169.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Seattle Seahawks</a> have now ruled out the prospect of obtaining Mayfield through trade, as head coach Pete Carroll was open and honest about the possibilities.



<h2>Mayfield unlikely to be traded to the Seahawks</h2>



“I’m not saying anything you didn’t think I was going to say, but fortunately that’s always been the way we’ve operated, and it fits again. So we’re looking. But, I don’t see us making a trade for anybody at all. I don’t see that happening”, Carroll told Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FM.



This season, the Browns must pay Mayfield roughly $19 million in salary after taking up his fifth-year option with them. However, as things now stand, the front office may have little option than to pay him the full amount of his contract.
