 The Rams have gotten good at keepiing their stars off the free agent market in recent years. As the end of Marc Bulgers contract nears, the team's number one priority this season is to give the star quarterback a new contract. Bulger is coming off his best season as a starter.Bulger has been quoted ""I'd love to finish my career here." This is a good sign for Rams fans. It appears a deal is close to being made, but may not come too soon. The sooner the deal gets done, the less Bulger has to worry about the future. If a deal gets done before the season begins or not, Bulger still should put up big numbers playing in St. Louis' high powered offense this year.
As of now, Bulger's backup is Gus Frerotte. Frerotte has 13 years of experience of his own and his career is coming to an end. The team has seen what third string QB, Ryan Fitzpatrick, can bring to the field in 2005 when injuries let him step in. The team may look into a long term backup in the near future for a safety pin in case Bulger gets hurt again.Labels: Free Agent, Marc Bulger, NFL, St. Louis Rams |
An NFL player died Thursday.
More hot NFL Drafthere.
Police investigations and sober reaction from stunned teammates will now mark the close of Chris Henry's life. But here's the finding that no official report will carry.
Some tales, for whatever reason, seem destined for unhappy endings.
There might be second chances, hopeful signs, promising trends. Redemption could truly be in sight. Henry had them all with the Cincinnati Bengals, and he was still only 26. "He was thankful for what he had in life, and proud of what he had overcome," a statement from his agents would say.
But sometimes, fate will not be deterred.
