“You're always looking for competition at every position, and you're looking for a chance to evaluate talent. As a head coach, McVay led the Rams to four winning seasons, three playoff berths and a Super Bowl appearance with Jared Goff at the controls. Mayfield won the first-string job in training camp with Carolina, but went 1-5 as a starter while throwing six touchdown passes and six interceptions. The Rams have almost no reason to tank the remaining season because their first-round pick belongs to Detroit, and they clearly need help at quarterback. Los Angeles has lost six straight games during what’s shaping up as the worst season in NFL history for a defending Super Bowl champion. We get a chance to acquire guys who’ve got nothing to lose and something to prove is always awesome.”

The Rams (3-9) lost their sixth straight game Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks, with John Wolford starting under center.
