Baker Mayfield’s camp has reportedly had preliminary discussions with the Seahawks and the Panthers, The Athletic’s Jeff Howe reported on Tuesday.
Though a departure from the Browns is imminent, there is no timetable set for a trade involving the 2017 Heisman Trophy winner, per Howe. Mayfield initially said he wanted to be traded to the Colts. However, Indianapolis acquired Falcons’ quarterback Matt Ryan for a third round pick, making the option unviable for Mayfield.
Mayfield is left in the aftermath of the blockbuster trade involving the Browns and Texans that brought quarterback Deshaun Watson to Cleveland on March 18. Since the trade, the Browns have allowed the former Oklahoma standout to search for a trade partner.
