Rams | Begin contract talks with Kenny Britt Sun Jan 25, 07:19 AM
St. Louis Rams WR Kenny Britt and his agents have started contract talks with the team. Britt, who has been in St. Louis just one season, indicated he wanted to remain with the club past 2014.
| Footballguys view: It's a good move for both sides. Britt still has fantastic talent, he just needs to stay healthy in order to play up to his potential. The Rams don't have great depth at the position, and they could really use a wideout like Britt in 2015. Now, they just need a quarterback to go along with him. |

Rams | Keeping eye on Shane Carden Sun Jan 25, 07:13 AM
East Carolina QB Shane Harden is being looked at by the St. Louis Rams in the lead-up to the 2015 NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Harden was at the 2015 Reese's Senior Bowl, but he failed to impress. Our very own Cecil Lammey and Matt Waldman report that Harden struggled with accuracy and decision making during the week of practice. Harden is likely to be a fourth- or fifth-round pick in the 2015 NFL draft. His upside is that of a career backup. The Rams need to aim quite a bit higher. |
Rams | Kenny Britt wants to stay in St. Louis Tue Jan 6, 06:21 PM
St. Louis Rams WR Kenny Britt said he wants to return to St. Louis next year. Britt will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason.
| Footballguys view: Britt wants to stay with Jeff Fisher. A first-round pick by Fisher and the Tennessee Titans in 2009, Britt has struggled with injuries and inconsistencies as a pro. He recorded a career-high 48 catches with the Rams in 2014. |

The St. Louis Rams signed OT Steven Baker, WR Emory Blake, OG Travis Bond, DB Christian Bryant, LB Marshall McFadden, DT Doug Worthington and WR Devon Wylie to Reserve/Futures contracts Tuesday, Dec. 30.
| Footballguys view: Oh if Wylie could only stay healthy. Coming out of Fresno State, Wylie was impressive at the Shrine Game and reminded scouts of Wes Welker. However, (just like in college) Wylie has struggled with injuries as a pro. |

Rams | Rams want Sam Bradford back Tue Dec 30, 06:42 PM
St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (knee) is wanted back by the team to compete for the starting quarterback position next season. However, head coach Jeff Fisher made it clear that nothing will be guaranteed for Bradford. Bradford continues to rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee, and he heads into an uncertain offseason. Fisher said the team plans to bring Bradford back at a reduced rate next year. He currently is scheduled to cost $16.58 million against the salary cap. Bradford plans to remain in St. Louis in the offseason to continue his rehab, and he said his knee feels better this time than the last time he had the same ailment.

Rams | QB competition to come in St. Louis Tue Dec 30, 04:20 PM
St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford won't be guaranteed the starting quarterback position next season as head coach Jeff Fisher made it clear Tuesday, Dec. 30, that there will be a quarterback competition in training camp.
| Footballguys view: Good, this is what the Rams need to do. They need to find a true franchise quarterback and have him compete with Bradford for the starting job. Bradford has been 'ok' when healthy, but he's not been great and he's struggled to stay on the field. |

Rams | Sam Bradford making progress Tue Dec 30, 04:09 PM
St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (knee) said he's coming along fine in a press conference Tuesday, Dec. 30, and has even started running. Bradford tore his anterior cruciate ligament during the regular season.
| Footballguys view: The Rams need to do something else here. Bradford has been okay when healthy, but he's struggled to stay healthy during his five-year pro career. We'll see if the Rams bring in another quarterback who can push him for (and perhaps win) the starting job. |

Rams | Brian Quick beginning rehab Sat Dec 27, 05:41 PM
St. Louis Rams WR Brian Quick (shoulder) has begun range-of-motion exercises in his rehab following shoulder surgery. 'I'm doing range of motion right now, just trying to get that strength back,' Quick said. 'I'm using a little weight right now, a three-pound weight, just trying to get that strength back up.'
| Footballguys view: Quick hasn't panned out the way anyone had thought he might but he's worth keeping an eye on in deep dynasty leagues. Make sure you aren't investing heavily of course. |

Rams | Sam Bradford still in team's plans Thu Dec 11, 12:33 PM
St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (knee) is still in the team's plans in 2015. The Rams still plan to add another quarterback in the offseason, but Bradford could still be the team's starter in Week 1 of the 2015 season.
| Footballguys view: Um, okay. Bradford is a decent talent, but he's injured all the time. The team shouldn't be relying on him as anything more than a flier at the position. He has a $16.5 million cap number in 2015, but there's only $3.5 million in dead money remaining on his deal. |
