However, the two teams remain far apart on one particular issue: how much of Mayfield&#8217;s 2020 salary each one will take on.<\/p>\n<p>Teams that have been interested in striking a deal with Cleveland have been hesitant to pay Mayfield&#8217;s full salary, which amounts to $ 18.86 million next season after the Browns exercised the fifth-year option on the quarterback&#8217;s rookie contract.  Following reports that suggested Carolina was nearing a trade involving Mayfield around the NFL draft, ESPN&#8217;s Jake Trotter reported that the two sides were never that close to completing a deal because neither party wanted to pay the majority of the nearly $ 19 million salary due to Mayfield this bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<p>That being said, the Panthers didn&#8217;t fully cancel their plans to pursue the 27-year-old.  According to Jones, Carolina is eager to get a deal done sooner rather than later to give Mayfield time to adjust to his new situation and teammates.  However, if neither side budges on the salary, it&#8217;s possible the stalemate could continue into the summer.<\/p>\n<section class=\"m-in-content-recommendation m-detail--in-content-recommendation h-isolated-styles mm-component-stack--is-body-item\" style=\"--title_size_a_font_size:16;--title_size_b_font_size:16;--title_size_c_font_size:16;\">\n<p><span>Scroll to Continue<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>Mayfield requested a trade in March, a day before the Browns traded for Deshaun Watson, saying in a statement to ESPN&#8217;s Adam Schefter that the relationship between him and the franchise is &#8220;too far gone to mend,&#8221; and that a move is &#8220;in the best interests of both sides. &#8221;  He later said on the <em>YNK: you know what I mean?<\/em> podcast that he felt \u201cdisrespected 100%\u201d by the way that Cleveland handled the situation this offseason.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-c\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-b not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-a not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-0\"\/>\n<aside class=\"m-in-content-ad-row l-inline mm-in-content-ad-row--in-content not-size-b not-size-c not-size-d\" data-ad-group=\"in_content-1\"\/>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JFowlerESPN\/status\/1534570818017058818?s=20&amp;t=DaUF5K-O5tG04-6G9tFlMA\" rel=\"noopener\" onclick=\"return phoenixTrackClickEvent(this, event);\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN&#8217;s Jeremy Fowler<\/a>, the Browns excused Mayfield from mandatory minicamp this week as questions about his future linger.
