The Rams have sunk a ton of assets into the quarterback position over the last six-plus years. They traded up for Jared Goff in 2016, signed him to an extension in 2019 and then traded him to the Lions with a package of picks for Matthew Stafford – who they then gave an extension, as well.
The problem is, they have done very little at the backup spot behind Goff and Stafford. The two guys backing up Stafford are John Wolford and Bryce Perkins, two undrafted free agents who have barely played in the NFL. They haven’t even played that well in the preseason when given the opportunity.
