Quarterbacks (2) On the roster: Matt Corral, Sam Darnold or Baker Mayfield/Jimmy Garoppolo In the mix: P.J. Walker Long shot: Davis Cheek When NFL minicamps wrapped up without the Panthers and Browns finalizing a Mayfield deal, it assured the Panthers’ never-ending Great Quarterback Pursuit would drag out a few more weeks, likely into July. There’s no real impetus for either side to get a deal done now, especially considering everyone in the NFL is about to be on vacation. But the talks will pick back up as camp approaches, and the Browns will either agree to pay enough of Mayfield’s $18.8 million salary to satisfy Panthers owner David Tepper or they won’t. Trading for Garoppolo is a non-starter because of concerns over his surgically repaired throwing shoulder and $25 million salary. But the Panthers could be interested if San Francisco cuts him.
