Baker Mayfield: The Browns QB Is Worth More Than You Think

All eyes are on Baker Mayfield, the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, and not just because he's pretty darn handsome. (Which, well, he is.) Mayfield, who stands at 6'1" and weighs 215 pounds, according to his NFL profile, is a stellar player who is preparing to take his team to the AFC divisional game on Sunday, Jan. 17, 2021.

Since Mayfield has made headlines ever since he joined the Browns back in 2018 — in early January 2021, he scored his team a spot in the playoffs for the first time since 2002, as per WKNYC — it's only natural that fans are curious about the NFL star's more private life. (It's also worth noting that Mayfield and his wife, Emily, have actually taken viewers inside their married life together.)

Still, let's get down to brass tax and talk money. Specifically, a whole lot of it. What is Baker Mayfield's net worth?

TBH, it's pretty much expected that pro football players are going to rake in some serious cash. And quarterbacks are primed to get even richer, with The Ringer reporting that "in the era of the booming salary cap, quarterbacks are being paid a disproportionately high percentage of their team's available dollars [compared to the other players on the team]."

When compared to other quarterbacks in the league, Mayfield — who is worth a cool $12 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth — just about edges out Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has a net worth of $10 million. (Mayfield also has more in the bank than his own head coach, Kevin Stefanski, who's worth $10 million.) On the other hand, San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo beats out Mayfield by possessing a whopping $25 million.

As for how Mayfield earned his riches (some of them, at least), Celebrity Net Worth reports that when he signed with the Browns in 2018, he scored a $32.68 million deal — plus an enormous $21 million signing bonus.
