Baker Mayfield: Fire The Cannons

[hockeyjohn]

Just watch - Baker and the Panthers beat Brissett and the Browns week one.

Traded for a 2024 fifth round pick AND we had to pay over $10 mil of his salary huh?

I know this is what people expected but it is kind of shocking just how far Mayfield’s value had fallen.

Wild to me that Carolina plans to start this guy this year, but won’t pay him more than $5 million.

Good on Baker to eat the rest, but wild he’s giving up nearly as much as Carolina is even willing to pay him.

Let’s hope this conditional pick can rise as high as a 3rd if he starts 10+ games.

Edit: Looks like conditional 4th. Damn, I guess we get the $8 million in cap savings, but not much of a pick for eating $10.5 million.

Hallelujah

Wish him the best of luck, thanks for the awesome run in 2020. I'm sure he will kick our ass week 1 and then fall back to average the rest of the season.

It was nice he even decided to give $3 mil back.

Still happy we made a trade for an elite guy, hopefully the suspension is minimal.

Many have applied the phrase "confident enough to bet on himself" to Baker Mayfield.
Now the statement is literally true! He just bet $3.5M dollars on himself! I wish him luck (except against the Browns).

Carolina needs to sign Josh Rosen immediately

I am very curious to learn what "conditional 5th rounder" means. Conditional as in it could get better? Or conditional in that a 5th is as good as it gets? I'm assuming the latter given the way these type of trades have been worded in the past.

Very happy with saving money with this trade.

Chip levels are going to be off the charts for that week 1 game.

Also, our defense will eat him alive.

Just blitz him up the middle, don't allow roll outs, and have the DL stick their hands way up high

Will convert to a 4th based on playing time.

I guess it can get to a 4th.

Could be a 4th based of playing time.
