With the Rams poised to take Sam Bradford with the first overall pick, and Marc Bulger in the twilight of his injury-plagued career, St. Louis went after a veteran QB Friday.
According to National Football Post, the Rams are close to signing A.J. Feeley, a 32-year-old vet who you likely know from his time in Philly and Miami. He spent last season as a back-up in Carolina.
Feeley could serve as a nice stop-gap before the Rams throw Bradford to the wolves, after which he’d likely be the team’s second string QB. Bulger is still technically on the roster, but if they’re signing Feeley and drafting Bradford, all signs would point towards the door for Bulger. Also currently on the QB depth chart is Kyle Boller, who saw some action last season.
3:27 ET UPDATE: According to Adam Schefter, this deal is done. It's a two-year contract worth $6 million.

Feeley spent a considerable amount of time working with Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur when the two were in Philadelphia. This is a familiarity signing, and a pretty good one.

Career 55% passer...
I’d give up a five for Thigpen instead. At least he’s mobile.

Thigpen sucks, this isn't college. I remember when 90% of the Chiefs fanbase thought he was a pro-bowler in the making lol. So naive
