Officially, the Carolina Panthers have the first pick in the 2018 draft.
Joe Person from TheAthletic.com reports on quarterback Baker Mayfield passing his physical. This makes the Browns trade official.
Mayfield underwent surgery in January to fix an injury to his non-throwing arm. This injury occurred in Week 2. He passed the physical and is ready to start training camp.
Person says that Mayfield's contract revision should be completed next week. According to reports, the Browns will pay $10.5million of Mayfield's $18.8 million salary in 2022. The Panthers will be paying $5 million. Mayfield will get the rest of the money, and Mayfield can earn it back through incentives.
According to reports, Mayfield will be competing with Sam Darnold. This is despite the fact that Darnold has been traded by the Panthers. We've seen over the years how "no intention", can often mean.
