Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson might have to make nice with Baker Mayfield pretty soon.
According to Mark Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, the Panthers currently have the “inside track” to a potential acquisition of the Cleveland Browns quarterback. Cabot, additionally, noted that some sort of deal could come within the next two weeks as we head towards the 2022 NFL draft.
“The Panthers — one of three teams who lost out in the Deshaun Watson sweepstakes, along with the Falcons and Saints — are one of several teams interested in Mayfield, and have the most cap space — $30.166 million according to overthecap.com,” she wrote on Saturday. “They also have an obvious opening at QB1. Darnold, the No. 3 pick in 2018, is under contract next season for the same fully-guaranteed fifth-year option amount as Mayfield’s $18.86 million, so the Panthers will probably want a little relief to get the deal done.”
