The waiver wire could get petty.
With Garoppolo and Trey Lance out for the season with their broken bones, the Niners were briefly down to just Brock Purdy at QB. They added ultimate journeyman Josh Johnson on Sunday night — but there could be another option out there.
The Panthers waived Baker Mayfield on Monday after he fell to third on the depth chart in Carolina. NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport did not think that the“For Baker Mayfield to come to Carolina and say ‘now is a good time to waive me,’ you know that he had his eyes on the San Francisco 49ers, they have a need at quarterback,” Rapoport said Monday on NFL Network.
Even if there was mutual interest between the 49ers and Mayfield, though, it's not that simple. Two dozen teams will have a crack at Mayfield before San Francisco, due to the reverse-record order of the waiver wire. One of the teams that is both in need of a quarterback and ahead of the Niners on the wire is the Los Angeles Rams. At 3-9 it might not look like there’s an immediate competitive reason for them to make that move, but consider that the Rams might still have a bit of bad blood overto the Niners earlier this year. What better way for Los Angeles to exact a bit of revenge than by scooping up a player that its division rival needs?Of course, Mayfield has been terrible lately.
