With just three weeks left to play, the NFC playoff race is heating up. While the Los Angeles Rams control their own destiny, Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccanneers making the postseason could also end up being beneficial.
According to Nick Korte of OverTheCap, if Mayfield and the Buccaneers make the postseason, it could boost the Rams’ 2024 compensatory pick for the quarterback. Right now, they are projected to get a sixth round pick, but that could get boosted to a fifth if Mayfield gets the Buccaneers to the playoffs.
Baker Mayfield making the playoffs could also be good news for the Rams, as it could boost the 2024 compensatory pick they are set to get for his departure to TB from the 6th round to the 5th round.
