Compound all this with Panthers receiver Robbie Anderson  Mut 24 coins being outspoken when rumors struck of Carolina trading for Mayfield, and we have quite the tapestry. For whatever reason, it’s clear players just don’t want to deal with the quarterback.

This element isn’t Mayfield’s fault, but it’s a huge part of the reasons teams aren’t interested in trading — and the crux of my initial tweet about preferring Corral over Mayfield for the Panthers.

As it stands Mayfield is set to earn $18.85M this upcoming season, the final of his rookie contract. While that’s not horrible considering the iMadden NFL 24ation in quarterback salaries, it’s a major concern when compared to the 4-year, $4M deal Corral will make, for instance.

Teams are intimately aware of their future salary concerns, which leads us to this.

If you’re a team, what do you gain by making this deal? Without question a team will get a boost initially if they need a quarterback, but what happens after that? Either a team has been lifted out of a good draft pick where they could find a long-term, far cheaper option — or, perish the thought, Baker thrives.

If he succeeds drastically in a new city in 2022 a team will be forced to make the difficult decision whether to extend Mayfield to a mammoth new contract and risk their cap future on him — without knowing whether his 2021 regression was a glitch, or the new normal. That’s too much to bear.

In the end we’re left with a good quarterback who can win for a team, but the salary and personality risks are just too great for a team to roll the dice on. It’s not a question of a grand conspiracy against the Browns, but rather just too many factors not matching up. The only way this goes now is to see Cleveland cut Mayfield and have a team sign him on the cheap to mitigate that risk. As  buy madden 24 coins disappointing as that might be for Browns fans, nobody is coming to save you from Baker and give a good return at this point.
