She admitted proudly that she is very grateful for the person he has become. Subsequently, she said, “I’m really proud of where we are and where we’re going. Grateful for the man you are today, and how you handle adversity with nothing but grace!” Mayfield left the Panthers after some changes in the order of the play made by the interim coach.

Mayfield’s reason to leave

The Carolina Panthers had recruited Steve Wilks as the interim coach. The coach made some personnel changes in the playing lineup. Mayfield, a first-round first-pick, suddenly went from being QB1 to a third-stringer. He was replaced by Sam Darnold as the first quarterback with PJ Walker playing back-up. Mayfield had shortly asked for a release, per Wilks.

Lack of playing time and being placed as the QB3 is speculated to be the reason for Mayfield to ask for a release. However, when he was released, the Rams owner expressed his excitement to have the quarterback play for them. The question here is will LA be Mayfield’s relatively permanent residence or is it just another stop on his search for his team?
