Quarterback Baker Mayfield can’t wait to face his former team Cleveland Browns in the first game of the season with the Carolina Panthers. Myles Garrett takes no offense to his ex-teammate’s verbal venomous arrows.

Munich/Carolina – A screenwriter could hardly have written the story better. Baker Mayfield, drafted No. 1 overall by the Cleveland Browns in 2018, was demoted by his team and shipped off to the Carolina Panthers.

The quarterback can get revenge on the very first day of the game, as the Panthers host the Browns in their season opener. Mayfield already sent a powerful announcement to his former employer, proclaiming, “I’m going to fuck them up.”

Defensive end Myles Garrett, who was the Browns’ No. 1 pick in 2017, doesn’t hold the statement against his former teammate. “We know he has that type of demeanor and attitude. It works for him for better or worse,” the three-time Pro Bowler said.

“I’m not upset with him using that fire to play at that level that he has. He has been successful in what he has done,” Garrett said. Basically, he is looking forward to the reunion with the former Browns playmaker: “We’re going to take this task and make it work for us. I’m hoping for a great matchup. “

Kevin Stefanski doesn’t take any jibes

Head coach Kevin Stefanski was less interested in talking about Mayfield. “I’m not going to get into anything like that,” Stefanski said. “As you know, we have Carolina Week. I understand how unique it is that Baker is the starting quarterback for the Panthers. We’re going to focus on putting a game plan together to beat the Panthers. That’s where the focus is. “
