If you’re waiting for the Cleveland Browns to cut Baker Mayfield so he can pack up and move to Charlotte, don’t hold your breath. That’s what Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot wrote this week, pointing out that the Browns have no plans to cut Mayfield, even if he’s still on the roster at the start of training camp in July.
“With Mayfield under contract for a fully-guaranteed $18.86 million, it makes no sense for the Browns to cut him and take the entire hit,” wrote Cabot.
The waiting game was perhaps a card up the Panthers’ sleeve once they hit a snag in trade talks with the Browns.
