Panthers Baker Mayfield Denies Saying I M Gonna F Them Up On Browns Week 1 Reunion

Appearing this week on the “Around the NFL” podcast, Cynthia Frelund revealed that she crossed paths with Mayfield after the Panthers’ preseason finale against the Bills on Friday. During that exchange, Mayfield reportedly fired a warning shot at the Browns, saying, according to NFL Media: “I’m going to pick them up.” Of course, that comment went viral, but Mayfield came out Wednesday and said he didn’t mean it. “I want to win in everything I do, that’s never going to change,” Mayfield told reporters. “I didn’t phrase it that way, that’s not even what I said, so I’ll just leave it at that.” Frelund also played down the comment, which came during their private exchange but is a fitting harbinger of what is one of the most dramatic matchups of Week 1. “We knew he had that type of demeanor and that attitude, and for better or worse, it works for him,” Browns tight end Myles Garrett said of Mayfield’s alleged comments, according to Cleveland.com. “And I’m not mad that he’s using that fire and that chip on his shoulder to help him play at the level he has. He’s been successful at what he’s done. … We’re going to take it and use it, and hopefully a great matchup. I don’t think less of him because he goes out there and does the same thing he did when he was with us. He’s the same guy in person, and maybe we’ll see a different Baker when we get on the field. Who knows?”
Mayfield has repeatedly expressed his gratitude to Cleveland and Browns fans for his four-year run as the team’s starting QB. But he’s also been clear that he wants a fresh start. After an injury-riddled 2021 campaign, Mayfield was set to enter a one-year contract to audition for the Browns’ long-term job. That is until Cleveland aggressively recruited — and ultimately landed — Watson in a polarizing trade that included a record $230 million guaranteed contract for the former Houston standout. Now, Mayfield is the undisputed QB1 in Carolina, acquired via trade in July to compete with incumbent Sam Darnold.
