Baker Mayfield has been through quite the tunnel of mediocrity this last year in the NFL. A year that saw him on the waiver list and a mid-season franchise shift. And it’s not like Baker is at the very end of that tunnel. Yes, there is a light, but the tunnel’s exact destination is still uncertain. And Mayfield’s wife gave out some hints.

However, the Panthers didn’t suit Baker as they waived the quarterback after only playing 7 games. But the Los Angeles Rams took a bet, and it paid off as much as anyone could have hoped. And Emily doesn’t want to leave LA yet.
