If you don’t like Baker Mayfield and/or Jimmy Garoppolo, then it’s a great day to be a Carolina Panthers fan!
On Monday, multiple reports from Charlotte-based media essentially confirmed the Panthers’ most recent plan of attack at the quarterback position—which hasn’t been much of an attack at all. The first nugget came from Ellis L. Williams of The Charlotte Observer, who noted there’s still a gap between Carolina and the Cleveland Browns in a potential deal for Mayfield—a $4.5 million gap to be more specific.
This would indicate that the Panthers are remaining particularly cautious about such a move. One of the latest developments, which came courtesy of MMQB’s Albert Breer two weeks back, suggested that Cleveland was willing to pay around half of Mayfield’s $18.8 million salary to ship him off to Carolina.
