Baker Mayfield for Sam Darnold Trade ‘Very Unlikely,’ per Report

Rumors continue to circulate about Baker Mayfield’s 2022 landing spot. The quarterback remains on the Browns roster despite requesting a trade back in March.

The top option for Mayfield is the Panthers, as the two teams are reportedly discussing deals. However, a report this week labeled that the biggest issue for a trade is Mayfield’s 2022 salary, which amounts to $18.86 million next season after the Browns exercised the fifth-year option on the quarterback’s rookie contract.

Another question is what would the Browns get in return for a Mayfield trade with the Panthers?
