Whether through contract talks or jersey numbers, everything is a negotiation. Baker Mayfield was dealt to the Carolina Panthers by the Cleveland Browns and had to make some financial accommodations.
On Tuesday, Mayfield was part of another deal, getting his familiar No. 6 for Carolina from punter Johnny Hekker.
“I guess it’s time to break the news. I made a deal, did my own negotiating with Johnny,” Mayfield said as he was introduced to the media. “Obviously, when it comes to a four-time All-Pro, had to ask permission, you know.”
