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

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      WTF are you talking about? There is literally nothing east of Raleigh until you get to the coast.  Nothing really north either not that it matters. Y'all really want to believe Raleigh is some big-time place and Charlotte is bumpkinville. It's so provincial minded and frankly laughable. Unfortunately, actual demographics and reality paint a different picture. Raleigh homers are in a different class, man. A city of half a million whose inhabitants think they are some global city when most people living in this country don't even know where it's at...  And they think they're flexing by crapping on Charlotte in this forum... The insecurity is off the effing chart...

      This is ridiculous and embarrassing... lol do you work for the Raleigh Chamber of Commerce? I mean sure Raleigh is perfectly ok, but you're acting like Raleigh is NYC and not half the size of Charlotte like it actually is. I know it's easy to crap on the Panthers and everything related to them, including Charlotte, but this blatant nonsense from someone who needs to travel outside the Carolinas a little bit... it would help you from making embarrassing small-town comments like this... For real, do you really believe that?  B/c if so, you really need to get outside of Wake County, NC some if you expect anyone to take you seriously...
