The Los Angeles Rams have signed former number one overall pick Baker Mayfield after he was released from the Carolina Panthers.
It comes after the quarterback had played poorly for the Panthers and falling to third-string quarterback behind Sam Darnold and PJ Walker, before reportedly being asked to be released, so he could compete for a starting spot elsewhere.
The San Francisco 49ers were heavily linked with a move for Mayfield after they lost Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending injury, but had been 23rd on the waiver priority list, with the Rams being the first team to put a claim in, who had been fourth on the list.
