The Rams were the only taker for Baker

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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
