Baker Mayfield's time with the Cleveland Browns may have ended in a rather ugly way, but the relationships he has built in his four years there remain. Just ask Myles Garrett.

Garrett, who met Mayfield on Sunday for the first time since the QB's trade to the Carolina Panthers last July, talked with his former teammate after their battle. Following the Browns' 26-24 win, Garrett sought Mayfield on the field and shared some encouraging words for him.

“He just said keep going,” Mayfield said, per Cleveland.com.

For his part, Myles Garrett emphasized that he and Baker Mayfield share a mutual respect for each other. He knows they are both competitors, and at the end of the day, they simply want their teams to win. They may now be on the opposing sides, but it's impossible for the Browns' defensive end not to acknowledge his ex-teammate.

“Two competitors. Player to player, man to man. I go to most of the guys I was competing against on the field. Maybe I’ll see the offensive linemen, I’ll go see them. The wide receivers, half backs, tight ends, all the guys I was able to compete with,” Garrett said of Mayfield.

The Week 1 match is the only regular season game between the Panthers and Browns this 2022, so the only way they could probably meet again is through the playoffs. Both teams will probably want that as well–that is if they can.

The Browns are moving on from Mayfield, and they surely got off to a good start with Sunday's victory. As for the young QB, he has high hopes to lead the Panthers to the postseason and prove his doubters wrong.
