The first draft pick of the 2018 draft is officially a member of the Carolina Panthers.
Joe Person of TheAthletic.com reports that quarterback Baker Mayfield has passed his incoming physique. This makes the Browns trade official.
Mayfield had surgery in January to repair a shoulder injury he did not throw. The injury happened during the second week. Passing the physique suggests you will be fine to go from the beginning of the training camp.
Person adds that Mayfield’s revised contract should end next week. According to reports, the Browns will pay $ 10.5 million of their $ 18.8 million salary by 2022. The Panthers will pay about $ 5 million. Mayfield will eat the rest, with the possibility of recovering it through incentives.
It has been reported that Mayfield will compete with Sam Darnold, as the Panthers have no intention of swapping Darnold. Of course, over the years we’ve learned what “unintentional” can often mean.
