More important: Do the Colts want Mayfield?
To date, I haven’t heard anything to suggest they do. It doesn’t mean a deal won’t happen — the Colts’ options are limited, remember — but I see it as unlikely, based on conversations Friday. Over the last few months, the Colts were determined to move on from Wentz, convinced that he wasn’t the right fit as franchise quarterback. It’s hard to see them believing Mayfield would be — even as a stopgap — while they continue to look for their quarterback of the future in the draft.”

See, now this makes more sense. If the Colts don’t really want him, then they’re not offering much at all for him. Kind of like the Eason situation. They gave him a fourth round grade and he was still there in the 4th, so they drafted him.
I’m guessing Ballard made the best offer he was comfortable making, which isn’t much, and the Browns are holding out for more. Which they’ll probably end up getting.
This seems like the most logical explanation for what’s going on.
