With Kevin Stefanski named the new head coach of the Atlanta Falcons, Baker Mayfield will get an opportunity to play against his former Cleveland Browns head coach for the first time.
Don’t expect it to be a friendly meeting, though.
Mayfield, who has settled in as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ franchise quarterback and is now playing the best football of his career, asked for a trade away from the Browns organization after it traded for Deshaun Watson. After a disappointing stint with the Carolina Panthers, Mayfield found a spark during a brief spell with the Los Angeles Rams before signing with the Bucs. The rest is history.
On Tuesday, Mayfield’s bitter feelings toward Stefanski surfaced on social media.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution Falcons beat writer D. Orlando Ledbetter promoted a story about the revolving door of quarterbacks under Stefanski, saying on X that Mayfield and Watson had both failed before the organization went through nearly a dozen more starters before Shedeur Sanders took over.
