Cleveland is given -220 odds, or an implied 68.8% chance to keep Mayfield. If they do agree to a trade, oddsmakers believe the Panthers are the favorite. Despite selecting Matt Corral in the 3rd round, the Panthers are given +275 odds or an implied 26.7% chance to trade for Mayfield. The Seahawks aren’t far behind at +290, or an implied 25.6% chance to add Mayfield.

Oddsmakers also see a few longshots as possible destinations. The Texans are given +650 odds, or an implied 13.3% chance to choose Mayfield over Davis Mills. Meanwhile, the Falcons are given +1500 odds, or an implied 6.3% chance to bring Mayfield into a quarterback room that already includes Marcus Mariota and third-round pick Desmond Ridder.

Teams are wary of Baker Mayfield. He, like Sam Darnold or Teddy Bridgewater, isn’t a quarterback teams believe they can win with long-term. He’s a veteran game manager, and teams have learned they can get those guys for cheap on the open market. The Falcons, +1500, are a perfect example of that. Why trade for Mayfield when you can just sign Mariota? Any team that trades for him is likely committing to Mayfield as their starter, and nobody wants to do that after seeing how poorly similar moves worked out for Carolina and Denver last year.
