Rams Seek Backup QB Amidst Dwindling Options

0:00On March 25, the Los Angeles Rams have one key gap left this off-season, a reliable back-up quarterback. Matthew Stafford is locked in as the starter for his 18th season, but the team lacks a solid number two behind him. Free agency choices are drying up quickly, as other teams snag experienced arms. Earlier this week, several backups found new homes. Zach Wilson signed with the Saints. Joe Flackle resigned with the Bengals, Trevor Seamy joined the Falcons, and Andy Dalton's trade to the Eagles became official. That leaves fewer proven options on the market. Jimmy Garoppolo stands out as a surprising free agent still available. Coach Sean McVeigh figured he'd draw big interest, maybe even from the Cardinals, but they picked Gardner Minshue instead. Recent reports show the Rams remain keen on bringing him back for his familiarity with their offense. Other names like Aaron Rogers, Kirk Cousins, Russell Wilson, Tyra Taylor, and Cooper Rush are out there too. The Rams might trust Stetson Bennett in the role, draft a competitor, or wait for deals to get cheaper.
