Left Cleveland goes to Cincinatti, I don’t know someone that was in our locker room that was asking us to play for him then goes to a different team that plays us twice a year everyone can have their spin on it,that’s how I feel
Mayfield caught some blowback from ESPN’s Damien Woody who called the Browns QB immature for targeting Jackson.
Baker Mayfield needs to grow up. This is pro football. You’re dealing with grown men. Things happen in pro football, people get fired go to other teams. Players get cut, they fo to rivals, it happens all the time. Coach gets fired decided to pick up an available job.
What I find funny about this whole thing is didn’t Baker Mayfield go from Texas Tech to Oklahoma? You went from Texas Tech to Oklahoma two teams in the Big 12, you went from one rival to another in the same conference.
Mayfield issued a response to Woody on Instagram and proceeded to call Jackson “fake” while doing so.

Browns interim offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens doesn’t think Baker said anything wrong because he was “speaking the truth” about Jackson.
#Browns Freddie Kitchens on Baker Mayfield saying what he said about Hue Jackson: 'I don't have a problem with Baker saying anything like that. I don't know when it became big news to speak the truth.'

#Browns Freddie Kitchens: "Baker's not going to blow smoke up anybody's ass. I'm standing behind Baker Mayfield. I'm standing behind him and these players in this locker room'

#Browns Freddie Kitchens: "If we can stay together in the locker room and not let anybody divide us, we're going to be fine''

Seems like Hue Jackson wasn’t very well liked when he was coaching in Cleveland.
