Baker Mayfield is no longer a Hue Jackson guy.
After today’s Bengals-Browns game, Mayfield appeared to give his former coach the cold shoulder during an awkward on-field exchange.
Baker's out there dapping up Driskel, Burfict, anyone and everyone in range is getting a hug. Jackson shows up and it's all "Hello, Hue. I hope you're well." pic.twitter.com/QaCqTMH1BK

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
Opinions were mixed on whether Baker was in the right for calling out his former coach.

Baker is just being real. That is what he is about. The kid is the real deal, on the field and off of it. We are lucky to have him.
