Baker Mayfield’s best fit: Seattle Seahawks or Carolina Panthers?

With NFL coaching camps a couple of month away, Baker Mayfield remains to be on the lookout for a brand new residence. 

The quarterback finds himself in a tough spot in Cleveland, caught behind Deshaun Watson, but with no real interest in being a backup. But will he finally must be content material with the Browns? Maybe not. 

According to CBS Sports NFL Insider Josina Anderson, the Seattle Seahawks have curiosity in buying the quarterback and are even open to extending him.

But is Seattle match for Mayfield? Colin Cowherd doesn’t suppose so.

“If I used to be Baker Mayfield,” he stated on The Herd Thursday. “I might inform my agent, ‘get me to Carolina. I got no interest in Seattle.’”

Cowherd doesn’t suppose that Seattle has the kind of offense or teaching that will match Mayfield’s fashion of play.

“Seattle shouldn’t be match for him,” Cowherd continued. “They have a 70-year-old defensive head coach, they’re in a fully brutal division, Seattle’s received the weakest roster in it and in addition, the Seahawks simply drafted two new offensive tackles in order that they’re gonna have model new youngsters at sort out. I feel certainly one of them is gonna be nice, [but] they’re not gonna be nice Year 1.”

Carolina, nevertheless, is likely to be a distinct story. The Panthers might use a quarterback like Mayfield in a division that’s shedding Tom Brady after this season.

Seahawks nonetheless have ‘excessive degree’ of curiosity in Baker Mayfield

Training camp is inching nearer and Baker Mayfield’s future with the Cleveland Browns stays unsure. Colin Cowherd makes the case for Mayfield to finish up in Carolina, not Seattle.

“Brady is leaving after this yr,” Cowherd reiterated. “That division doesn’t have a quarterback. I’m (Mayfield) going up in opposition to Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, Kyle Trask, that’s, to me, heat climate, which I performed in highschool and faculty, I am going to the NFC South, Brady leaves, I might be essentially the most gifted quarterback in that division.”

The pro-con listing favors the Panthers. They have an offensive-minded coach and a much less brutal division, and Mayfield wouldn’t must take over for a possible future Hall of Fame quarterback.

“Do you wish to observe Russell Wilson?” requested Cowherd. “I’d moderately observe Sam Darnold.”

If Mayfield is trying to go someplace long-term, Cowherd believes he needs to be wanting East, not West.
