Could the addition of Baker Mayfield make the Panthers a surprising test in Week 2?

The start of the New York Giants schedule might have gotten tougher on Wednesday. The Carolina Panthers traded for Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield. The Panthers sent a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick to the Browns in exchange for the estranged quarterback.

While Mayfield hasn’t lived up to expectations as a first overall selection, he has flashed very good play throughout his career. He seemed to turn a corner in 2020, winning 11 games and throwing 26 touchdowns to 8 interceptions, while also setting a career high for adjusted yards per attempt at 7.
