“I’ve never heard anything so crazy in my life,” Jackson said. “I’m sure John Dorsey and John Schneider are really tight and I’m sure if they’re having conversations on their own and just jiving around and doing those kinds of things. I would think if something was serious about that, we — the executive team — and the organization would have known. I never heard that.”
“I know this is a down time in sports, so everyone is buying every little thing they can talk about. Baker Mayfield has played two seasons for the Cleveland Browns and we’re talking about something that happened two years ago. I know it didn’t happen. It was never brought to my attention. No one on my staff knew anything about it. This is all new news to me.”
It appears Cleveland and Seattle didn’t get to an advanced stage with the negotiations, and Jackson said he didn’t think Dorsey would have wanted to make the deal.
And that pretty much sums up the Browns for you right there.
