Browns will pay Baker Mayfield 10.5 million and he agrees that he will restructure his contract with the Panthers

Baker Mayfield, the new Panthers quarterback, will continue to be paid by Cleveland this season. He’ll actually get more from Browns than the Panthers.

Mayfield, who was previously due $18.86million from the Browns for this season, has now agreed to a revised contract that lowers that amount for Cleveland.

According to Mike Garafolo, NFL Network, Mayfield will now be paid $10.5 million by the Browns, while the Panthers will give him $5 million. He will also agree to restructure the contract to avoid guaranteed salary.

According to the report, Mayfield could still earn $18.86million if he meets certain incentives.

Mayfield will now be counted as $10.5 million towards the Browns’ salary cap for this season. The remainder will be counted against the Panthers’ cap.
