(8) Adam Schefter on Twitter: "Former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield was claimed on waivers today by the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources. The Rams now inherit the remaining $1.35 million on Mayfield’s contract. Mayfield is expected to fly to LA by tonight and could play Thursday night vs. the Raiders. https://t.co/CAIVhY25Nu" / Twitter
I think SF made the most sense. They have weapons on offense and a very good D. He could come in and be a game manager type of QB.
The Niners disagreed, as they didn't put in a claim for him. No one did other than the Rams, which speaks to just how far he has fallen.
I never understood Baker going as the top pick. He has an elite arm, but when you factor in the long delivery and lack of mobility even in the pocket, it sort of negates it. Still - he’s the type of guy I always found easy to root for even though he’s polarizing. He fucking hates losing.
