Nerdy Football Analysis: The Browns, Mayfield and the Panthers all took a portion of Mayfield’s salary. According to Mike Garafolo, Cleveland will pay $10.5 million (saving $8 million in salary, cap space), Carolina will pay $5 million, and Baker waived $3.5 million in base salary. Mayfield will be penciled in starter but we’ll see how Carolina frames the move and the camp competition with Sam Darnold. The Browns and Panthers play in Week 1.
