The Football World Reacts to Baker Mayfield Being Traded

Just when you thought the NFL would remain quiet before the start of training camp in two weeks, it immediately makes noise. Early Wednesday afternoon (July 6th), the Cleveland Browns finally traded their former franchise quarterback, Baker Mayfield, to the Carolina Panthers. Upon Mayfield passing a physical, the Browns will receive a 2024 conditional fifth-round pick that could turn into a fourth-rounder.

Reactions to this months-long trade saga have come swiftly, regardless of your stance as a supporter or critic of the former No. 1 overall pick. But what indeed makes this entertaining moving forward is the fact Mayfield could have his chance at a "revenge game" as the Panthers face the Browns in Week One of the 2022 NFL season.

Take a look at some of the reactions to Wednesday's big trade.
