The Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers are interested in Baker Mayfield,  but the two teams are hesitant to make a trade for the Cleveland Browns quarterback, according to a report by Jeff Howe. The Athletic NFL took to Twitter with a note from Howe's reporting.

"The Browns, Seahawks and Panthers remain stuck in a holding pattern on Baker Mayfield talks," The Athletic NFL tweeted. "Both teams will need Cleveland to take on a much greater portion of the QB's contract than it has offered so far, reports @jeffphowe."

Currently, the Seahawks have a quarterback battle between Drew Lock and Geno Smith after trading franchise signal caller Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos this offseason.

As for the Panthers, Sam Darnold enters his second season in Carolina, but the franchise also picked former Ole Miss quarterback Matt Corral in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Mayfield completed 60.5% of his passes for 3,010 yards and 17 touchdowns against 13 interceptions over 14 games last fall and battled a shoulder injury for much of the season. In his career, he has 14,125 yards and 92 touchdowns to 56 interceptions.

"I'm ready for the next chapter, the next opportunity because the only one I'm guaranteed at the next spot is one year because I have one more year guaranteed contract," Mayfield said on the YNK Podcast in April. "So I have one year, wherever I go. It's my next interview. It's something to put on my resume for the next job, whether it be I play a year wherever that is and they extend me for longer or if it's that year and then I get picked up somewhere else. I know I have this one year to do as much as I possibly can. And it's not extra pressure. It's just like, 'I've been here before.' And it feels f---ing good."

During Oklahoma's spring game in April, Mayfield opened up on his future and the next steps in his career nearing the end of his marriage with Cleveland.

"I think, obviously, there's a lot of ups and downs, that's just life," he said . "Everybody at the next level, throughout their careers, they hit a low point. And it's not about that low point. It's how you handle it. I’ve said that it's never the actual adversity or the challenge, it's what you do with it. It's how you set your mind to it. It's familiar territory. Obviously, I haven't been in this situation before specifically, but it's familiar territory when it comes to mindset and getting back to the basics and then realizing what I need to do. And right now I can control getting healthy, working and giving everything I have to wherever my next home is."
