Andrew Berry said Tuesday that the Cleveland Browns "fully expect" Baker Mayfield to be their starting quarterback in 2022 and "bounce back" after struggling through an injury-plagued season.

"It's easy to forget at this point of the year what we've seen with Baker over the past several years," Berry said. "We've been with Baker for a long period -- we know his work ethic, we know his drive, we've seen him [be] a talented passer in this league, and we're looking forward to him getting healthy and continue to make improvements."

Mayfield finished 27th in the league in QBR.
