My first thought is are they trying to create more cap space to sign or trade for another QB.

I think its Mayfield, just a gut feel. Dont care about recent reports stating they dont like the guy. He feels like Rhules dream QB.

Start with the teams that have the most cap space and go from there. If we are offering compensation there will be a few willing to listen. At this point it should start clicking for fans that they don't want him here even as a backup. They want him out of the building. That speaks for itself.

Two years in a row of this at QB.

The only thing that makes sense in my mind is a Darnold for Jimmy G swap. Obviously we would have to add a young player or a pick but really nothing else seems realistic.

Yep I don't like it either but that's how bad it is. I've said all along all involved in the trade should be shown the door.

I think you have to look first at teams who have the most need at quarterback.

But with the draft coming up, the timing might not be ideal.

There are also reports that he doesn't want us.

If that happens, I gotta believe pick six is used on a quarterback.

Either that or we go LT at 6 and trade for Jimmy G or Mayfield. I don’t care what “reports” say about our and Bakers mutual interest. Nobody tells the truth this time of year.

Pickett Pick 6 may be something we have to get used to..

Perhaps to Houston as part of a deal for Tunsil??

If carolinas staff picks any QB at 6, all my hope vanish..

I mean come on. He only threw 7 picks last year to go with 42 TDs.

Let's face it, Sam Darnold has essentially zero trade value. If a trade were to be made, you can expect that the Panthers will have to foot most of the bill, similar to what they did in the Teddy Bridgewater trade.  

Releasing Darnold would be a tough pill to swallow in terms of cap money and trading him seems impossible but the one thing the Panthers can't do is have Darnold on the roster for 2022 and beyond.

Let's face it, even if Darnold recovers from his shoulder injury, there's no way he's going to touch the field. So if you know he's not going to be your starter, you can't pay a guy $18 million to sit on the bench.
