Mike Garavolo reports that Brown will pay Mayfield $10.5 million next season and that the Panthers will pay him nearly $5 million.
The Oklahoma winner Heisman agreed to take a pay cut of approximately $3.5 million.

After months and months of speculation, Baker Mayfield finally has a new team, and I think it’s a pretty terrible landing spot.
This isn’t going to end well, and I’d be willing to bet anything.

The Panthers have Sam Darnold and Matt Corral already in the QB room, the latter probably stealing the 2022 draft. How does acquiring Mayfield help develop the former Ole Miss star?
The answer is no.

I may end up being wrong, but I have a great sense that this will pretty much backfire!
