The Rams were the only taker for Baker

[Gerry Green]

According to Shefter, in a tweet I can't imbed, the Rams were the only team willing to pick up Baker. And he may start Thur. Gon be fun to see how this plays out. Lots and lots of Huddlers claimed his career as a starter could be over. With the QB room the Rams have, they may have to live or die with Baker.

 

Burns is 4th in DE voting, and Hekker is 1st.

On waivers.

I strongly suspect that had he cleared waivers, other teams would have gone in.  It's been widely speculated that the Rams put in the claim specifically to block him from going to the 49ers.  With the Rams position in the waiver order, no one else was going to have a shot.

Then how do you explain the plan for him to start Thur. night? The have Bryce Perkins, whose been on the team for 2 years. Yet Baker could start. Seems like they actually wanted him to me.

Watch Baker turn Cooper Kupp into DJ Moore (this season's edition).

Kupp is out for the year

A little surprised, rams must have put the word out about claiming him.

Baker sucks. Him going to the rams doesn't change that fact

Damn y'all. We don't need a new Baker Mayfield thread everyday. Pick one of the multiple ones that already exist.
