Baker Mayfield's tenure with the Carolina Panthers has not been a success, and it appears likely to have severely depressed his upcoming free-agent market this offseason.
According to David Newton of ESPN, "Multiple league executive sources told ESPN the market for Mayfield during the offseason will be minimal barring an amazing turnaround in the second half of this season. They say the 27-year-old won't get more than a prove-it, one-year deal in the $5 million to $7 million range."
It gets worse for Mayfield—one personnel source told Newton that the Panthers may even consider outright releasing the veteran quarterback in the coming weeks.
