Rams Seek QB Depth, Bennett Stays Backup

0:00On April 22nd, Rams head coach Sean McVeigh just dropped some clarity on the team's quarterback set up heading into next season. He made it clear that Stetson Bennett is locked in as the backup to Matthew Stafford, but the Rams are still hunting for another arm to join that duo. McVeigh praised Bennett's growth since they drafted him a few years back, crediting quarterback's coach Dave Ragon for sharpening his skills. Right now, Bennett's the only other quarterback under contract while they wrap up a new deal for Stafford. Fans and analysts are buzzing about this, especially since the Rams need depth behind their star. Losing Stafford to injury last year exposed some thin spots and everyone's watching how these shapes their playoff push. The team eyed Jimmy Garoppolo and Kurt Cousins as potential direct backups ahead of Bennett, but those plans fizzled. Garoppolo's mulling retirement and Cousins just signed on with the Las Vegas Raiders, so the search continues for that extra quarterback firepower, keeping the Rams offense unpredictable as they build for the long haul.
