Sorry Carolina

Carolina's incompetency is nothing compared to Cleveland's incompetency.  I'm not a Baker fan by any means but now he get's a chance to shove it deep up Clevelands" @$$ in the first game of the season. This trade is priceless for Mayfield. The only thing that sucks about this is the game will be played in Carolina instead of Cleveland.

And, Car plays Clev in wk 1, which will be funny to watch.

Probably will, I have no faith in Darnold who was just a terrible pick in the first place IMO.

So true that the Stains did Mayfield a dirty one as that is what they do. Flush it down!

Mayfield agreed to a $3 million dollar pay cut, the Browns are paying $10 million of his salary, and the Panthers are paying just $5 million.

The Panthers are the big winners here.  No matter what you feel about his often douchey behavior, Mayfield has shown he can play at a high level in the NFL which is WAY more than the likes of Sam Darnold can say.

Here is the fun part:   The week 1 opponent for the Panthers (at home) is none other than the Cleveland Browns.

I'm happy to see Mayfield getting a shot to get new life, with a new team, after the way the Browns jerked him around.
