He's coming off of surgery, will cost assets, and will need a contract. There's a reason Cleavland decided to trade their future away for another guy with massive issues, and a requiring a huge contract.

Mayfield had a great team around him, and didn't get it done. He's not going to magically be better in Carolina.

It's like fuging groundhog day every off-season.

I don’t see the issue. This isn’t a Teddy or Sam 2.0 situation. He won’t cost us anything, Browns willing to pay part of his salary. Mayfield isn’t great but he has led a team to the playoffs and had some success. As a 1 year stopgap behind this OL and with our weapons he can have some success. If we can also get Howell to sit behind him a year or two that would be phenomenal.

We said the same thing about Sam last year and then they picked up his 5th.

Panthers probably sign baker and extend him if history is the marker.

I like Mayfield.  Better upside than Darnold.  If it doeant cost much, why not.

They cost about the same in dollars. They are not comparable on the nuisance scale. One may actually be a starter the other hopes to be a backup.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
