The Los Angeles Rams made a surprising move on Tuesday, claiming Baker Mayfield off waivers. He joins John Wolford and Bryce Perkins as the third quarterback on the 53-man roster, helping replace the injured Matthew Stafford.
Mayfield, a former No. 1 overall pick, was cut by the Panthers this week after asking for his release. He struggled mightily in Carolina following a trade from the Browns during the offseason, which is why he was benched twice this year.
