Baker Mayfield: Officially done in Carolina
The Panthers waived Mayfield on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Mayfield's $1.35 million salary for the remainder of the 2022 season would be assumed by any team that successfully claims him on waivers, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, which could play a factor in determining his next landing spot. A number of teams could have interest in giving the 2018 first-round pick another chance, including quarterback-needy clubs like the Texans, the Rams -- who placed Matthew Stafford (neck) on IR on Saturday -- or the 49ers, who lost Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) to a season-ending injury Sunday. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Mayfield requested to part ways with the Panthers, and the team agreed. Through seven games this season, he has completed 57.8 percent of his passes for 1,313 yards, six touchdowns and six interceptions.
