Ian Rapoport: Carolina Panthers seem to be the most likely spot for Baker Mayfield

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport believes the Panthers are the most likely landing spot for Baker Mayfield. 

In Carolina, we could see Mayfield compete with Sam Darnold in training camp -- the battle America needs and deserves. Rapoport also mentioned Tampa as a potential destination for the disgruntled Cleveland quarterback. With the Bucs, Mayfield could pull a Mitch Trubisky and serve as a backup until more appealing starting gigs open up in 2023. Whether he's good enough to seize those starting jobs is another question entirely. Mayfield struggled through various injuries in 2021 -- including a torn labrum -- and regressed from his solid 2020 campaign. His days as the Browns QB are over after the team sold out to acquire Deshaun Watson from Houston last month. The Seahawks have been linked to Mayfield too, though the team continues to pretend they're OK with Drew Lock as their Week 1 starter.

This is a bit harsh.  He's simply wants his opinion heard.  Unlike the passes thrown to him, he cant let this opportunity slip through his hands. 

No, he really is a loser. His actions and play basically indicate that.

If browns pay around 75% of his contract and it is a mere late round pick........My body is ready. Hate is strong(mainly due to bakers doing)....but in 2020 he had a great year and should have gotten a couple MVP votes...

Yeah, that is a no-brainer move. People need to keep in mind...he only has one year left on the deal. If it doesn't work out, you just don't re-sign him.

Precisely. And in the likelihood he doesn’t work out, it means Rhule is gone, tabula rasa come 2023

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
