Stephen A. Smith Calls Out Baker Mayfield

Today, it was revealed that the Carolina Panthers would be releasing Baker Mayfield. This new came out of nowhere, however, considering Baker's play as of late, some weren't too surprised. Of course, one such person was Stephen A. Smith, who spoke about the news on First Take.

In the clip down below, you can see Smith rip into Mayfield. In fact, he told the free agent that his career is in jeopardy. It is a pretty bad wake-up call for the quarterback, who was once seen as the future of the Browns franchise.

"You're actually more well known, more credible and more renowned for commercials for Progressive than you were for your performance on the football field. ... [His career] is in GRAVE jeopardy," Smith said.

Subsequently, there are no calls for the 49ers to grab Baker now that Jimmy G is injured. It is an interesting proposition, however, Mayfield's confidence seems pretty shot right now.
