Eagles

Eagles vice president of football operations Howie Roseman said the team has time before deciding what to do with impending free agent QB Sam Bradford.

โ€œItโ€™s only January,โ€ Roseman said, via Jeff McLane. โ€œTeams are still playing. So weโ€™ve got some time.โ€

Raiders

  • According to Draft Insiderโ€™s Tony Pauline, defensive backs that the Raiders have been impressed with most at the Senior Bowl include: Southeasternโ€™s Harlan Miller, Samfordโ€™s James Bradberry, Boise Stateโ€™s Darian Thompson and Southern Utahโ€™s Miles Killebrew.

Rams

Rams GM Les Snead said the Rams will have open competition for the starting quarterback role between Nick Foles, Case Keenum, Sean Mannion, or any other offseason additions they potentially make.

โ€œIf I learned one thing last year we should have let the quarterbacks have a competition from the start and the best man win instead of just passing the torch to Nick,โ€ said Snead, via Alex Marvez.

Snead admitted that Foles success in Philadelphia prompted the Ramsโ€™ decision early on in the 2015 season to declare him the teamโ€™s starting quarterback.

โ€œHe obviously had a lot of success at Philly and it was proven so we brought him in,โ€ said Snead. โ€œAs you go through things with a new quarterback and heโ€™s learning a new system thereโ€™s going to be some growing pains whether itโ€™s in OTAs or training camp.

โ€œYou saw that a little bit but, hey, we open up and beat Seattle and went to Arizona and won. He did some good things for us. We just ran into a slump there in the middle of the year.โ€

  • Rams HC Jeff Fisher will interview coaching candidates this week to fill the remaining spots on his staff. (Alex Marvez)
