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

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
