Quarterback roster moves?

[Stuart Smith]

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.

It appears to me they are trying really hard to avoid starting Darnold this season.  Looking at the depth chart it would seem the chances are good another one will be signed.

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.

Yup.

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

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.

In reality (not a concept some here can grasp), Cleveland is in a void at QB. Watson might not play this year, Baker won't play, and I don't know what their 3rd option is. We should offer a straight trade, Darnold for Mayfeild.

[LinvilleGorge]

Cleveland ain't taking on Sam Darnold. I have no idea who their third option is either but I'd take whoever it is over Sam Darnold and his salary.

*Just looked it up, it's Jacoby Brissett. Yes, without a doubt I'm taking Brissett over Darnold.

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
