Outside of perhaps the Panthers being the Panthers and deciding at the 11th hour that Mut 24 coins they need another quarterback, it doesn’t look like Garoppolo will head anywhere. The fall from grace has been precipitous, and honestly, it’s a little sad. It’s not like Jimmy is an amazing quarterback, but he’s a damn sight better than some of the players we’re going to see with starting jobs in 2022 like Sam Darnold, Marcus Mariota and Drew Lock.
Mayfield, on the other hand, is a really weird case. He’s a player that football coaches seem to love, but his teammates simply don’t like. Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry in particular have been extremely critical of Mayfield, while the lack of any support on social media from other players on the Browns has been extremely obvious. The trade for Deshaun Watson made Mayfield expendable, but even then there just don’t seem to be any interested parties. Madden NFL 24 insider Aaron Wilson of Pro Football Network outlined how bleak it is.
“One Madden NFL 24 team that isn’t a fit for Mayfield is the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield has not expressed interest in being traded to the NFC South franchise, and the feeling is mutual, according to league sources.”
I get not wanting to go to Carolina, although beggars can’t be choosers — but it’s so profoundly difficult to be a quarterback the Panthers don’t like. Hell, you could be a ham sandwich in a helmet and Matt Rhule would take a bite, just to see if he likes it. So when the team doesn’t have interest in Mayfield, you know it’s bad.
The other factor playing a huge role is the 2023 Madden NFL 24 Draft. I’ve discussed before how deep the class is at quarterback, and organizations are well aware. As it stands as many as four quarterbacks could go in the Top 10, so there’s a quiet internal battle happening where bad teams who don’t currently have a QB are trying to be competitive, but they’re stopping short of actually trying to become good.
That’s why you’re seeing Atlanta settle for Mariota, Darnold starting again for Carolina, and the Saints re-signing cheap madden 24 coins Jameis Winston after all three teams fell over themselves to trade for Watson. The same commitment to mediocrity can be found in Pittsburgh, where Mitch Trubisky will start. They’re all happy to punt on the season and see if they can’t find a franchise quarterback in a year.
