Browns will also cover a large portion of the quarterback’s salary

Around $5 million of that is due to the Panthers

Mayfield will also take a $3.5million cut in order to be free from his previous franchise.

Baker Mayfield started his journey with Cleveland as the No. 1 selection in the 2018 draft.

Mayfield is 29-30 all time as a starting pitcher and would be the fourth Heisman Trophy-winning player to play for Panthers.

Watson later changed his mind, choosing the Browns. The Mayfield era was nearly over in Cleveland.

Panthers see a quarterback with a strong track record as an asset.

Mayfield's performance in leading a team to victory, regardless the circumstances surrounding his departure.
