Rams Pursue Kirk Cousins for QB Depth

0:00On March 30, the Los Angeles Rams are shaking up their quarterback depth chart, with Kurt Cousins now a top choice to back up Matthew Stafford. After Stafford's MVP level season, the team needs a solid number two, and with rookie Stetson Bennett as their only other option right now, Cousins. Fits the bill as a proven bet. The backup market is thinning out fast, league-wide, and while the Rams have kept ties with Jimmy Garabolo over the last couple years, they're not. Rushing back to him. They're letting his free agency play out to see where the price lands. Sean McVeigh has made it clear, Stafford gets to decide his future year by year, showing respect for his star. At the same time, the coach sees Cousins as a perfect addition to keep the offense humming if Stafford sits. Cousins is getting cut loose by the Falcons this March as they go younger, and he's hunting a deal in the $12 million to $14 million. Ranged, not just backup money, but leader pay, the cheese have them high on their list too, especially with Patrick Mahomes still rehabbing that ACL.

1:00This chase for Cousins highlights how elite teams crave that instant stability from a battle-tested norm, and the Rams are right in the mix as it all, unfolds.
