Anyone care to predict any Panthers moves at quarterback over the next 2 months? Will they be conservative and sign a lesser known back up? Or, are we set with Darnold, PJ, and Corral? 

Unless Cleveland gets more desperate to offload then we roll with what we’ve got. 
 

im not sure how well this post will age but I’m going with that.

I agree.  Baker and JimmyG want to start.  They will ask to be released and the teams will either take whatever they can get, or just release them.  With 3 new quality OLmen, an actual OC and hopefully healthy CMC, we are a more attractive place to land than last year.

Releasing Baker Mayfield would be moronic. You'd be better off paying 70% of his salary and getting a pick in return.

His salary is completely guaranteed.

I think we end up trading for Mayfield but not within the next two months. I think towards August/end of August.

Cleveland definitely screwed the pooch with this situation. Baker won't play for the Browns this year and Watson may not either depending.

Given how far behind he'd be with the playbook and that the only reason they make such a move is to try to maximize wins this year and that Cleveland will have enough distraction with Watson as it is, that timing doesn't make much sense to me. I'd guess they move him right before camps start.

That said, these guys went off the rails for Watson in the first place. Who knows what they'll ultimately do or why.

I know, I just think that we will focus much more on the price than the timing. I don't think there is desperation on the Panthers part.

Not to mention he probably wouldn't have to know much of the playbook to immediately be an upgrade over the current QB's on the roster.

If the Browns wanted to do all of his salary, minus $6-7 mil, I think we'd at least listen. Supposedly the Panthers are in the $3-5 mil range and Cleveland only wants to pay half.

It's also possible someone swoops in and just does a better deal than ours.

The only acceptable trade for Mayfield would be a straight up swap for Darnold.  Would not give up any picks whatsoever. 

I just don’t see why the Browns do it then.k if that’s the case.  Plus I think Sam being part of the deal would have leaked with the rest of the info. 

They could sit on Baker and see who gets hurts on other teams. They just signed Jacoby for the role Sam would fill

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
