Former Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield will face his former franchise during week 1 of the upcoming NFL season.
Baker Mayfield was acquired by the Carolina Panthers from the Cleveland Browns. The former first-overall pick finally has the opportunity to depart the Browns as he starts a new chapter in his career.
The Cleveland Browns’ culture had shifted after Mayfield led them to the playoffs. Before Baker arrived, the Browns had been struggling for a while. With his arrival, a new era for the team began. The Browns faithful will always adore him, even though his exit occurred much sooner than many anticipated.
Since Deshaun Watson had been associated with the Browns, Baker’s departure from the team was imminent. Waston’s visit from Houston confirmed that the Browns were looking at Baker, and a transaction has already been completed.
However, Baker will have the chance of revenge as the Carolina Panthers will be facing the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 of the upcoming season of the NFL. He might not go up against Deshaun Watson as he is likely to serve a suspension during that period, but he would love to be at his best against the team that doubted him.
Even though everyone thinks that Baker Mayfield will be the starting quarterback of the Carolina Panthers, he still needs to earn it. He has competition from Sam Darnold.
They both went against each other to be the 1st overall pick in their draft, and they will go against each other to be the starting QB of the Panthers. It’s expected that Baker will ultimately get the nod, as he has had a better career than Darnold.
