Richard Sherman has torn into Baker Mayfield after his release from the Carolina Panthers, with multiple analysts suggesting he could be the next starter for the Super Bowl-contending San Francisco 49ers.
The Panthers confirmed that they had released Mayfield on Monday afternoon after he had become the third-string quarterback behind Sam Darnold and PJ Walker, in what is a new low for the former number one overall draft pick.
And with the Niners now looking for a quarterback after both Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance have been lost to season-ending injuries, Sherman was asked if Mayfield makes sense for the team.
