  Redskins | Several QBs to work out for Washington    Mon Nov 19, 08:47 AM

Free-agent QBs EJ Manuel (Raiders), Kellen Clemens (Chargers), Mark Sanchez (Bears), Josh Johnson (Raiders) and T.J. Yates (Texans) will work out for the Washington Redskins.

Footballguys view: Washington has to add a quarterback to the roster with Alex Smith done for the year. Colt McCoy is the only passer they have on the active roster and they don't even have another quarterback on the practice squad.

  49ers | Two more QBs to work out for 49ers    Mon Sep 24, 07:13 PM

Free-agent QBs Kellen Clemens (Chargers) and T.J. Yates (Texans) are scheduled to work out for the San Francisco 49ers Tuesday, Sept. 25. The 49ers also asked free-agent QB Matt Moore (Dolphins) to participate in the workout but are not sure if he will be attending.

Footballguys view: C.J. Beathard is set to be the starter for the 49ers with Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) done for the year. Behind him, the 49ers have to find a reliable backup. The only other quarterback on the roster is Nick Mullens...and he's on the practice squad. They'll add to the room in the near future.

The San Diego Chargers signed free-agent QB Kellen Clemens (Rams) to an undisclosed deal Thursday, March 13.

  Rams | Kellen Clemens probable    Fri Nov 1, 04:14 PM

St. Louis Rams QB Kellen Clemens (shoulder) practiced in full Friday, Nov. 1, and is probable for Week 9.

Footballguys view: Clemons wasn't good last week and he hurts the value of everyone around him. He should look a little better against Tennessee than he did against Seattle but not enough to be anything but a "OH MY GOODNESS HELP" flex play.

  Rams | Commit to Sam Bradford    Tue Oct 22, 08:15 AM

St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said QB Sam Bradford (knee) is the team's quarterback in 2014. Bradford is expected to be ready when the season opens. Fisher also said the team doesn't expect to trade for a quarterback. QB Kellen Clemens will start in Week 8.

Footballguys view: The Rams have that stance now, but that doesn't mean they won't consider a quarterback in the 2014 NFL draft. Bradford could begin the year as the starter but they may add a player to compete with him in camp.

  Rams | Kellen Clemens will start    Mon Oct 21, 06:03 PM

Updating a previous report, St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said QB Kellen Clemens will be the starting quarterback for the team's Week 8 game.

Footballguys view: Clemens is not a fantastic option as the starter. With him starting we'll see a downgrade for the Rams passing game. This could lead to more of a run heavy approach with Zac Stacy.

  Rams | Austin Davis could win No.2 QB job    Sat Aug 24, 12:16 PM

St. Louis Rams QB Austin Davis could win the No. 2 quarterback job if he performs well in the team's third preseason game. Davis is scheduled to work with the second-team offense during the game. Davis has been competing with QB Kellen Clemens for the backup quarterback job during training camp.

Footballguys view: The book is in on Clemens and we know what he can and can't do. Davis is an intriguing player to keep an eye on. Coming out of Southern Mississippi Davis was known for breaking some of Brett Favre's college records. Davis doesn't force a ton of throws and has high football intelligence. Our very own Cecil Lammey watched Davis at the 2012 Shrine Game in Tampa, FL and came away impressed with his leadership, cadence, and ability to make tough throws near the sideline.
