On Tuesday, Baker Mayfield spoke publicly for the first time since the trade to the Carolina Panthers in a team press conference.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Quarterback Baker Mayfield has a new home in North Carolina as he begins his journey following his trade from the Browns to the Panthers last week, and on Tuesday, Mayfield spoke publicly for the first time since the trade in a team press conference.
That option was something, even if head coach Kevin Stefanski had decided upon, Mayfield wouldn't have wanted, highlighting Mayfield's desire to be on the field despite the ailment. "My throwing motion was extremely violent. So that was probably the most hindering reason why," Mayfield said."I've made some small changes and worked with a great QB coach, Jeff Christensen, that he's helped me get back to a form that—I haven't thrown the ball this well in a long time and the throwing motion looks a little different and thankful for that."
As for the process of bringing Mayfield into Carolina, it didn't happen overnight. As News 5 reported previously, the Panthers had been strong candidates in trade talks for Baker since the team acquired Watson. Fitterer described the months-long talks between himself, Browns general manager Andrew Berry, Mayfield and his representation.
Mayfield said that he worked with his agents and had plenty of discussions before deciding on the number to trim from his salary to get the deal done, echoing his words at his youth football camp in Norman, Oklahoma last month when he said he thought both he and the Browns were ready to move on from each other.
"Six is special to me, not because it was ever my favorite number—it was the number I was given as a walk-on at Texas Tech. And when I transferred the people of Oklahoma thought it was my favorite number so they just gave it to me again, and so it's just stuck with me," Mayfield said."To me, it kind of symbolizes my story, my history with that, and I truly enjoy being able to represent that. And it's something special to me now.
