The NFL’s Los Angeles Rams have signed quarterback Baker Mayfield, last season’s Super Bowl winner said in a tweet.
Mayfield could make his debut for the Rams as early as December 8 against the Las Vegas Raiders with Stuttgart’s Jakob Johnson.
Regular quarterback Matthew Stafford will be out injured for several weeks and possibly until the end of the season. Mayfield had previously been released by the Carolina Panthers, where he failed to make an appearance this season.
In 2018, Mayfield was selected first in the NFL draft by the Cleveland Browns, but was increasingly criticized there.
In the summer, the Browns finally signed the controversial Deshaun Watson, Mayfield went to the Panthers.
The Rams are bottom of the NFC West with just three wins in 12 games and have lost hope of making the playoffs this season.
