Baker Mayfield signed with his fourth time in about the last nine months after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, leaving the Los Angeles Rams after a five-game stint that nobody expected. Especially not Mayfield. Following a four-year career with the Cleveland Browns and a seven-game trial with the Carolina Panthers, Mayfield was picked up on waivers midseason at a time when the Rams had been devastated with injuries and unable to rely on backups John Wolford, Bryce Perkins.
Despite L.A. being the shortest stint with any team, Mayfield does leave the Rams with a probable sixth round compensatory pick for their troubles.
