Baker Mayfield Picked Up By The Rams

by

Yesterday, it was revealed that Baker Mayfield would be released by the Carolina Panthers. This move was kind of expected given the fact that he hasn’t been of much use to the team. They are trying to move on, and in the few games Mayfield has played, he hasn’t been good enough to keep.

Overall, it is a sad situation for Mayfield who was seen as the future of the Browns just a few years ago. Consequently, it is a sad reminder of just how fragile a career in the NFL can be. One day you’re the man, and the next day, everyone wants you gone.

Rams Pick Up Baker Mayfield

Mayfield was placed on Waivers, and subsequently, Adam Schefter reported that Mayfield will be on his way to the Los Angeles Rams. As many already know, the team needs a quarterback as Matthew Stafford and their usual backup are injured. While the Rams likely won’t make the playoffs, they at least need someone serviceable.

Per Schefter:

“They need a QB with Matthew Stafford sidelined for the season and John Wolford dealing with a neck injury. And if Mayfield signs elsewhere this off-season, the Rams could get back a compensatory draft pick.”

Overall, this is going to be a big opportunity for Mayfield, who will likely get to be their starter for the rest of the season. For now, however, it still remains to be seen whether or not he will get to play against the Las Vegas Raiders. Regardless, his fortunes have turned quite fast.

Baker Mayfield will get to play football again this year. For himself, that is all that really matters. However, he will need to improve if he wants any shot at a starting job in 2023.

SOURCE SPORTS: All-Pro Bobby Wagner Signs a 5 Year Deal With the Rams

It appears the Los Angles Rams have great accountants on staff. The defending Super Bowl Champs are adding former All-Pro linebacker Bobby Wagner to the team on a five-year deal worth $50 million.

His former quarterback Russell Wilson, now in Denver, sent some love towards Wagner and his new situation. Wagner has rattled off a career-high 170 tackles. In Seattle, a six-time All-Pro, Wagner has produced ten consecutive 100-plus-tackle seasons and has twice led the league.

The Rams were identified as a possible landing spot for Wagner shortly after his release from the Seahawks.

Wagner will step into a leading role in the Rams’ defense, and the hope is that he’ll join Aaron Donald as a playmaker in the middle of the field. It’s not a spot where the Rams got primary production on their way to the Super Bowl LVI title, so Wagner’s arrival will bring a different look to their defense as they try to double up on championships.

Drake Is Betting Over $1 Million On The LA Rams And Odell Beckham Jr. In Super Bowl LVI

Drake’s gambling history is sort of infamous at this point, as he’s willing to lay out huge sums on the outcomes of everything from basketball games to roulette spins, getting lucky and losing in more-or-less equal measure. Naturally, with Super Bowl LVI kicking off this Sunday, he’s got a lot of money on the line, posting screenshots of his online wagers to Instagram. In total, he’s got $1.26 million (in Bitcoin, no less) riding on the outcome, split across three bets.

He’s got $472,364 on the Los Angels Rams to win outright over the Cincinnati Bengals, while two prop bets posit his friend, Rams wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., to receive for more than 62.5 receiving yards ($393,636) and score at least one touchdown ($393,636). They’re all relatively safe bets, with payouts of $713,244, $712,457, and $846,288, respectively — the Rams have the hometown advantage, after all, and ODB has been relatively solid all season despite tearing his left ACL during the 2020 season (something Drake can relate to).

However, should he hit on all three, he’s looking at just about doubling his money ($2,271,989), so they aren’t bad bets either. His post explained the rationale behind them with the caption, “All bets are in on the family.” The rapper, like much of the country, will be tuned in with crossed fingers this Sunday.

Big Sean And Jhene Aiko Were Mistaken For Another Celebrity Couple At The Rams Game

It’s not all that unusual to see celebrities at big sporting events but in Los Angeles, it’s apparently such a common occurrence that it’s easy to get them confused for one another — even when they look nothing alike. That’s what happened during Sunday’s NFC Championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium, where Big Sean and Jhene Aiko were misidentified on the Jumbotron as Buffy The Vampire Slayer herself, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr.

On the Jumbotron, a closeup of Big Sean and Jhene Aiko was captioned “Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.,” prompting Gellar to joke on Instagram, “@bigsean do you get mistaken for me as often as I get mistaken for you? (Swipe right to see my actual date at the #ramshouse).” In her post, she compared a selfie with her and her husband to the photo that appeared onscreen at the game, then added a photo of her and her friend Elsa Collins, with whom she actually attended the game.

Sean and Jhene also seemed tickled by the mishap, with Sean posting a photo of the two staring in confusion at the Jumbotron to his own Instagram Story.
