In an interview with Cleveland.com, the wide receiver revealed that he came back early from a knee injury that hampered his performance.

1/2 Reality behind all this is I came back to play in the best shape of my life, I got hurt week 2 with a high grade MCL Sprain,Partial quad tear and bone bruise. Then came back way to early and ended up staying hurt the entire season. You never heard me mention anything about it

The last year of his contract will see him make $14.3 million in base salary. He only had 52 catches for 570 yards and two touchdown last season, and is considered a potential cap casualty.

3/3 I have put the ball in CLE court by telling them I would like to stay but if not then I’m confident enough in myself to be a better healthy me this year and moving forward to helping do my part in winning a championship elsewhere.

The future of Baker Mayfield as a coach of the Cleveland Indians was called into question after the team's poor performance in 2022, and the team is expected to see major changes to their passing game this summer. Cleveland finished 27th in passing yards and 26th in team passer rating, with a battered Mayfield ranking among the worst starting quarterbacks in nearly every statistical category.

At this time a year ago, Baker Mayfield looked like a potential$40-million-a-year player, but now he is set to play on the fifth-year option of his contract.

Cleveland desperately needs a downfield explosion, but Landry has been a reliable underneath safety valve. Beckham was cut after his father criticized the quarterback on social media, but he never clicked with him.

Beckham, who was one of the best friends of Landry, went on to sign with the Rams and win a Super Bowl.
