0:00On March 30, Ram's head coach Sean McVeigh is eyeing some familiar faces for his back-up quarterback spot behind Matthew Stafford. Right now, Stetson Bennett is the only other guy on the Dept chart, but McVeigh made it clear the team plans to add competition soon. He's talking about bringing back Jimmy Garoppolo, who's been in that role the past two seasons. Garoppolo's deal with the Cardinals fell through recently, leaving him on the market. McVeigh said the veteran is still working through his options, and the Rams would love to have him return as the number two. That set up worked well before, and it keeps things steady for the offense. McVeigh goes way back with Kurt Cousins too, from their days together in Washington about 10 years ago. Cousins was a big reason McVeigh landed his head coaching gig in Los Angeles in the first place. Fans are buzzing about that connection, seeing it as a smart, low-risk move if Garoppolo doesn't pan out. On top of that, Cousins has other teams interested, but McVeigh wouldn't mind reuniting if the stars align.

1:00It's all about building depth without shaking up the starter. The Rams are moving quick at these league meetings to lock in their plans before training camp heats up. From around the league, powered by AI. This is NFL News Today. I'm Corey with The Story.
