If there’s one benefit to the Rams’ struggles this season, it’s that they have priority over 28 teams in the waiver order. At 3-9, Los Angeles sits fourth in the waiver order, which gives the front office a great chance to claim any player who hits the wire – assuming the Texans, Bears or Broncos don’t claim that same player.
On Monday, a former No. 1 overall pick became available when the Panthers waived Baker Mayfield. They acquired Mayfield from the Browns in the offseason and he started six games but threw just three touchdown passes and six picks – fitting for a guy who wears No. 6.
