Well this less tremorous dispatch from NFL e-gossips:
Earlier this afternoon, NFL insider Ian Rapoport named two potential landing spots for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Rapoport named the Seattle Seahawks and Carolina Panthers as contender for the former No. 1 overall pick. “The Browns are gonna have to eat some of that salary and I think he ends up with the Seahawks or Panthers,” Rapoport said on Tuesday.
Well, at least one of those teams appears to have made a decision on Mayfield. According to a report from Panthers insider David Newton, the team is not interested in the former Heisman Trophy winner.
“Regarding reports that the Panthers are interested in Cleveland QB Baker Mayfield, I am told that’s not true,” Newton said.
Cleveland made waves last week when the team traded for star quarterback Deshaun Watson. The Browns gave up three first-round picks, a third-round pick and two fourth-round picks for the former Houston Texans quarterback.
That massive trade meant Baker Mayfield’s time with the Browns was at an end. The Indianapolis Colts were a popular landing spot for Baker after the Watson trade news broke.
However, the Colts decided to trade for Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan instead. Now, the Panthers seem to be out of the Baker Mayfield sweepstakes as well.
The Seahawks seem to be the lone team left, but will they trade for Baker?
One can wonder if Pete really wants to dance with the last guy leaning against the gym wall and the band starts playing the dreaded slow number.
The Draft is coming up and they have eyes on some WonderRookies. Maybe that's the plan?
