The Panthers releasing Baker Mayfield Monday morning gives the quarterback a chance to latch on to a team for the rest of the season. And while there are obvious teams that could try to upgrade at quarterback, including the 49ers, one former NFL player doesn’t think Mayfield provides an upgrade.
While speaking to Sports Illustrated, Richard Sherman questioned who would want to add Mayfield to their team as a starter.
“I don’t think he makes sense anywhere,” he said. “I’m sure he can back somebody up, but people give too many opportunities to these quarterbacks because they got picked in the first round.”
