Scott Fitterer said that there would be an open competition to start at quarterback for Carolina.
This is not a closed competition. The reason for adding Baker is to make the group better as a whole, according to Fitterer.
On Tuesday, he said that he was embracing the competition and that he was looking forward to competing with his new teammate.
He said that he is not expecting to be a backup and that he has the same mentality. He will fill whatever role is expected of him and be a great leader.
It wasn't easy for him to take a pay cut to be traded. The two teams that agreed on draft-pick compensation were the Carolinas and the Cleveland Indians, according to Fitterer.
A fourth- or fifth-round pick will be given to the Browns. The draft pick needs to play 70% of the snaps in order to be a fourth-round pick. According to a source, the Carolinas will pay more than the Clevelands will pay. The rest of his salary will be converted into incentives in order to facilitate the deal, but he can earn back the money if his team performs well.
No teams have called about his availability, and the panthers are not interested in trading him. He said that the trade for Mayfield was made with the short term in mind and that discussions on longer term deals for Mayfield or Darnold will not happen until later in the season.
After reaching a deal with Johnny Hekker, he will continue to wear the number 6. When he was a walk-on at Texas Tech, he was given the number six.
He has no animosity towards the organization, which gave him the first four years of his career. The first game of the season will be a special one, according to the panthers' head coach.
He will no longer call Cleveland's Progressive Field home as a result of his trade to Carolina. It was an opportunity missed.
