NFL insider notebook:

Just more than a month ago I wrote in this space about the five options the Cleveland Browns had with Baker Mayfield. You can read the full post here, but the long and short of it was no matter how the season ended, he'd likely be back for 2022 playing under the fifth-year option.
As terrible — and, in fairness, injured — as he looked Monday against the Steelers, I still believe that's the more likely option.
