So Mayfield traded to Carolina. 5th round pick that can move up to a 4th depending on playing time. He agreed to take a $3.5 million pay cut that can be earned back thru incentives. Browns will pay $10.5 million of his salary leaving Carolina on the hook for only $5 million plus any of the $3.5 of incentives Mayfield earns back.
Pretty good trade for Carolina getting Mayfield for next to nothing dollars wise and a day 3 pick. Now does Carolina try to do a trade with Darnold were they pick up the majority of his salary to get a pick out of him or do they keep him as a $19 million dollar backup to Mayfield? I can't see them cutting him since Darnold's contract is also fully guaranteed.
