The Panthers are not expected to trade for Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield before the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday, according to the NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Carolina has long been seen as one of the likely destinations for Mayfield if he were to be traded away from the Browns as most expect. However, this report from Rapoport suggests that Carolina may not be in the mix for Mayfield after all.
There’s also a question as to whether or not the Panthers will even draft a quarterback with the No. 6 pick on Thursday night, sources told The MMQB’s Albert Breer.
