Baker Mayfield trade: Best memes and tweets from around the NFL
By Mark Powell
The Cleveland Browns traded former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers. Twitter had a field day as a result.
Baker gets a new lease on life in Carolina, where he will be the presumed starter ahead of Sam Darnold and others.
Mayfield is a former No.1 overall pick for a reason, though injuries slowed him down immensely last year. This forced the Browns’ hand, though they arguably made the wrong choice by trading for a player who’s likely to be suspended for the entirety of next season at least. Cleveland handed Deshaun Watson the keys, and the rest is history.
Baker actually took a pay cut to play in Carolina, if you can believe it. Cleveland has actually grown that toxic.

The #Panthers traded a 2nd, 4th, and a 6th round pick for Sam Darnold.

All it took to land Baker Mayfield was a future conditional 5th rounder.
The value Joe Douglas and the #Jets got for Darnold continues to be mind-blowing.
Assuming deal is official tomorrow, Panthers will have two of the top-3 QBs from 2018 draft in camp. And Baker Mayfield will have a chance to stick it to the Browns in Week 1.

Somehow, this won't stop people from suggesting that the Browns start Baker Mayfield in place of Deshaun Watson during his suspension.

Hey @ColinCowherd, this makes twice that an NFL franchise picked backwards hat guy, Baker Mayfield, over your boy, Sam Darnold. https://t.co/2j2S3Am8im

Uh…Baker has some convincing to do in his new locker room. Sheesh!
Mayfield needed a fresh start, and made it clear a week ago there was no going back for he and the Browns. Cleveland signed Jacoby Brissett as an emergency backup plan during the Watson civil trial, and they’ll likely have to use it.
