Now several weeks removed from his trade request, Baker Mayfield is still a member of the Cleveland Browns organization.
From the moment Mayfield became available on the trade market, the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks emerged as favorites to acquire the former No. 1 overall pick.
According to recent reports from Jeff Howe of The Athletic, the Browns, Panthers and Seahawks are stuck in a “holding pattern” on Mayfield trade discussions.
Both the Panthers and Seahawks reportedly want the Browns to take on more of Mayfield’s remaining contract before a deal goes down.
Mayfield is heading into the fifth year of his rookie contract. He’s scheduled to earn $18.85 million under his fifth-year option.
The Browns acquired new QB1 Deshaun Watson in a blockbuster trade earlier this offseason. Both the Panthers and Seahawks have notable question marks at the quarterback position heading into the 2022 season with Sam Darnold and Drew Lock respectively.
