The Panthers are releasing quarterback Baker Mayfield after he has struggled throughout the entire season. Nick explains the timing of Mayfield’s release has come at an interesting time for the 49ers who suffered a season ending foot injury with quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo in Week 13 vs the Dolphins. Nick believes third string quarterback Brock Purdy played well to finish out the game vs. the Dolphins but explains adding Mayfield could be a great backup to Purdy for the remainder of the season.
