Baker Mayfield’s future remains in limbo as the quarterback waits to see which team will trade for him this season. The Panthers have consistently been viewed as the favorite, but Carolina and the Browns haven’t been able to agree on a deal yet.
The biggest obstacle between the two teams seems to be Mayfield’s contract. While appearing in the Rich Eisen Show, SI’s Albert Breer said that Cleveland is willing to pay around half of Mayfield’s salary to ease any deal.
“Cleveland’s been willing to take on a fair amount of Baker’s salary, like $9, $10 million,” he said.
