'New Panthers QB Baker Mayfield throws couple TDs in final preseason test'
The Carolina Panthers got a nice discount on Baker Mayfield in a trade with the Carolina Panthers. They're hoping that move pays off big.
Mayfield, who was acquired for a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick after the Browns agreed to pick up $10.5 million of the quarterback's salary, has been named the Panthers' starter and he looked sharp in his final preseason test.

It's not easy to join a team in early July and be ready to quarterback that team two months later, but Mayfield didn't play like he's still learning in the playbook.
Mayfield mostly looked comfortable against the Buffalo Bills, despite not playing with many starters. He made an outstanding pass to tight end Stephen Sullivan for a 21-yard gain to get Carolina's second possession going. Later in the drive he threw a rope to Chuba Hubbard in between defenders, but Hubbard dropped it. It was still a nice throw. The drive was kept alive by a defensive penalty on fourth down, and Mayfield capped it with a fourth-and-goal touchdown pass to D'Onta Foreman from the 2-yard line.
