Seems like a mature response from Mayfield

Baker Mayfield reached out to former teammate Myles Garrett after the quarterback’s trade from Cleveland to Carolina this summer. According to Garrett, Mayfield texted that he “appreciated the time we got to spend together and getting to know each other and growing together.” The Browns defensive end did not respond. “I read (the text), but you know, there were some disagreements we had at a base level, and I’m not mad at the guy or feeling any way towards it, but I just didn’t know how to reply to that, so I didn’t,” Garrett told Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com. “But I still think he’s a hell of a competitor, and he’s a great guy to have on your side and I’m rooting for him. I think he has a great family, but he’s the opposition now, and at the end of the day, I’ve got to take him out.” The Browns made Garrett the No. 1 overall selection in 2017 and Mayfield the No. 1 overall pick a year later. Per Cabot, a rift between the two “seemed to be there from the start, in part because of their personalities and leadership styles,” and Mayfield was among those in the organization who perceived a lack of strong leadership from Garrett. Mayfield ripped Garrett in a postgame interview on national television following Garrett’s helmet incident with Mason Rudolph in 2019 that led to a six-game suspension for Garrett. Mayfield upset Garrett again last season with the role he played in the departure of Garrett’s close friend, Odell Beckham Jr. Cabot reports that the chasm between Mayfield and Garrett only widened to the point where Garrett wanted to see a change at quarterback for 2022. The Browns did just that, trading for Deshaun Watson before moving on from Mayfield. “It never is (easy),” Garrett said of working alongside Mayfield over the years. “Winning takes a lot. It’s not going to be easy come, easy go, except for one of the Warriors teams, but I think it’s always tough. It’s always mentally straining. “Guys are going to say and do things that they wouldn’t normally do and they’re going to listen and be receptive to things they haven’t normally done or have to do. So it was a slightly complicated relationship, but that’s how it is each year. There are new guys coming in, old guys coming in and same thing. Some guys who just came are going out, but you have to keep that same standard and you have to bring that same intensity year to year.” It will not come as a surprise if Mayfield and Garrett don’t share a hug or a handshake on Sunday. One of them, though, will leave the field happier than the other. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/09/08/myles-garrett-calls-relationship-with-baker-mayfield-slightly-complicated-with-some-disagreements/

Interesting connecting this to Tepper….

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers added some size and experience to the defensive line room, signing veteran defensive end Henry Anderson. The 6-foot-6, 301-pound Anderson adds a solid run-stopper to the mix, and with Cleveland coming in Week 1, that's a benefit. The Panthers have been looking to add some experience to the defensive line in general, and Anderson's versatility (he can play inside as well) adds another element to the group. The Panthers went short at defensive end when they set their initial roster, with pass-rusher Marquis Haynes Sr. and rookie Amaré Barno the only backups to Brian Burns and Yetur Gross-Matos. Originally a third-round pick of the Colts out of Stanford, the 31-year-old Anderson spent three years with the Jets and last year with the Patriots. They also added two players to the practice squad Monday morning, signing safety Marquise Blair and wide receiver Preston Williams. Blair was a 2019 second-round pick who was crowded out of a position when the Seahawks acquired veteran safeties Quandre Diggs and Jamal Adams, and has some experience playing nickel. He also finished the last two seasons on injured reserve after knee injuries. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Williams adds another big body to the receiver room. He has dealt with some injuries, but in three seasons, he has 56 catches for 787 yards and seven touchdowns. Most of those stats came during his rookie year when he caught 32 passes for 428 yards and three scores in seven games before going on injured reserve with a torn ACL. He was the team's leading receiver at the time of his injury. To make room for Anderson on the active roster, the Panthers waived defensive tackle Daviyon Nixon, who was one of six defensive tackles they kept on the initial 53-man roster. They also released practice squad wide receiver Ra'Shaun Henry. They also released safety Kenny Robinson from the practice squad last week.

The jets article was about his first 4 years but looks like an okay run stopping DT move.

Well it does have food, drinks, beer and wine included with the package so depending how much you drink you may be able to get some of your moneys worth lol. Tepper is definitely out of touch though for sure. I believe this is catered more to business who get it for clients. I have been hooked up multiple times with beer vendors giving me tickets to the practice bubble last year which includes all of this just without the players walking by.

600 yards

I created a league last year because no one had started one. I’m down to join if someone else creates or I can set one up again either way. Paid or free I'm down

A low risk, high reward move by Fitt and the gang, and I am more excited for the season than I have been in a long time. Here are some snips from the athletic on Mayfield in preseason and heading into the regular season: ARTICLE from Joe Person on preseason game: Mayfield kept his trademark swagger and cockiness to a minimum as he acclimated to his new team during training camp. But delivering a hit to a backup corner probably signifies Mayfield is ready for the regular season. On hit to Bills defender: “I tried to tell him, ‘My bad,’ because I know he was easing up on it, and I didn’t want to hurt him. He didn’t take the apology very well, which is OK,” Mayfield said. “Just gotta protect myself on the boundary. He was playing smart, so I appreciate that.” Mayfield’s best throw came on his second touchdown pass — a 19-yard strike to preseason star Shi Smith after Mayfield slid in the pocket to create a throwing lane. And his worst throw might have been on his first touchdown — a 2-yard toss to running back D’Onta Foreman, who had to reach back and snag the ball one-handed on his way into the end zone. Mayfield said he needed to put the ball on Foreman’s upfield shoulder. “Yeah, it’s a touchdown. But if there’s a defender actually chasing him, it’s a terrible throw,” Mayfield said. “Those are the little things I’m going to be extremely critical about myself, and that’s just the way I work.” Mayfield completed 13 of 22 preseason passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns. Rhule’s favorite Mayfield stat was his turnover total: zip. “In two preseason games, he protected the ball, kept the ball out of harm’s way. At the same time, not afraid to make aggressive throws,” Rhule said. “The corner route he threw to Chuba (Hubbard) was an aggressive throw. The play he made to Shi was outside the X’s and O’s. We have a good feel for it, but at the same time he’s just getting started in this offense.” It’s easy to forget that it’s been fewer than two months since the Panthers and Browns agreed on trade terms for Mayfield, who felt snubbed by Cleveland’s pursuit of Deshaun Watson. He’s still getting his timing down with the backs and receivers, several of whom didn’t play or only played a few snaps. An example: Rhule wanted to see the offense this week clean up the timing between Mayfield and the tight ends on corner routes, after Mayfield failed to connect on a couple of those at practice. Mayfield checked that box on the second drive, dropping a perfectly placed ball to Stephen Sullivan on a corner route for a 21-yard gain. Still, Mayfield understands Rhule’s point about just scratching the surface of Ben McAdoo’s offense. “Yeah, he’s right,” Mayfield said. “Obviously, I’m just getting started within it. But I feel completely comfortable with the knowledge of it. Now it’s just a matter of going out and seeing it and putting it in action.”

No more trading period. We have already traded enough from next years draft

Jesus. I never seen it coming.

Other than last year, if he duplicates the previous years id be totally down to sign him to a 3 year deal. I don’t think you would want anything more than that to see how he does, and you are not crippled if things don’t work out. The thing with Baker is that you know he is talented, he Can lead grown men, has an alpha mentality, and you know what his floor is. I don’t think a 3 year deal for someone like him will be something that will haunt us if it does not work out. It totally depends on his performance this year, but it is a very low risk/high reward move. Dude is on another level compared to Teddy/Sam “Gumby” Darnold and I can say that with complete confidence before he even takes a regular season snap for us.

We definitely cannot go back to the glory days of having a franchise QB like Cam, but this is as good as I’ve felt since we cut him.

We finally have an alpha at the QB position since Cam

Finally a voice of reason here at the Huddle!

Exactly what I thought when I was reading the article. Most teams play multiple QB’s? Weird thing to say.

Rhule is a complete Joke. It’s childish at this point.

Anything in this world is possible…. This could be a great success. You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take. Look at Michael Jordan for example, he never thought in his wildest dreams that he could be a starting guard in the NFL, then he stumbled upon Matt Rhule and is living out his dreams.

The Patriots don’t know anything about being tough. They have never had to struggle and use piss bottles in a dorm like our team has
