Baker Mayfield's week 1 contract situation is hilarious...

On Wednesday, the Panthers acquired former No. 1 overall pick, Baker Mayfield, in a trade with the Cleveland Browns, CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones confirms. Carolina will ship a conditional fifth-round pick to the Browns that can turn into a fourth depending on Mayfield's playing time.

New Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield will still be getting paid by the Browns this season. In fact, he'll get more from the Browns than he will from the Panthers.

Mayfield will now count $10.5 million against the Browns' salary cap this season, with the remainder (Approx. $8 million) counting against the Panthers' cap.

However, the funniest thing about this contract situation is that the Browns and the Panthers are actually facing each other in Week 1 this year.

So, the Cleveland Browns will pay Mayfield $588,235 in week 1... for him to try to beat the Cleveland Browns.

This is pretty hilarious!
