Rams signing Baker Mayfield sparks explosive Twitter reactions: ‘WTF is this team doing?’ ‘Even the Niners said no’

It’s official: The Los Angeles Rams have signed former 2018 No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield off of waivers this week after watching backup quarterbacks John Wolford and Bryce Perkins struggle since Matthew Stafford was placed on IR for the rest of the season. LA will eat the rest of Mayfield’s $1.35 million contract but could net themselves a fourth round compensatory pick in 2023 if they decide to let him go after this year.

Former No. 1 overall pick Baker Mayfield was claimed on waivers today by the Los Angeles Rams, per league sources.
