Rams' Baker Mayfield: Lands in L.A.
The Rams claimed Mayfield off waivers from the Panthers on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
One day after the Panthers granted Mayfield's request to get waived, he'll land with one of the NFC West teams currently dealing with injuries in their quarterback rooms. For Los Angeles, Matthew Stafford (neck) effectively is done for the season, while John Wolford again is dealing with a neck injury, leaving Bryce Perkins as the only healthy option at the position before Mayfield's arrival. If Wolford is unable to go Thursday against the Raiders, Perkins will almost certainly get the start under center. However, Mayfield may get a chance to direct the Rams offense at some point down the stretch. The Rams will absorb the money remaining on Mayfield's $18.86 million salary for 2022 before he becomes a free agent this offseason.
