Cardinals waiting on another former Rams QB?

PrintA.J. Feeley...David Carr, the NFC West is rapidly becoming THE division for backup quarterback excitement. And that brings us to our quarterback related news of the day, this time it's about the St. Louis Rams erstwhile starting QB Marc Bulger.
As you may recall, since he throttled us on a regular basis, the Arizona Cardinals helped put former Rams QB Kurt Warner back on the map, well, vice versa really. Could they now be interested in bringing in the man who stepped in for Warner in St. Louis, Marc Bulger? It's a distinct possibility says Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic.
...I think they [the Cardinals] will be watching closely for when the Rams cut Marc Bulger. Who knows when that will come? The Rams might hang on to Bulger until after the draft, just to see how things shake out.
Bulger would be an excellent backup for a team like that, and it's real possibility that he could end up starting given the situation there.
And remember those reports about the Rams possibly interested in bringing back Richie Incognito? Well, you can put away your giant foam "can't hear you" hand. Billy Devaney put the kibosh on that. Here's what the GM told the Globe Democrat:
That’s totally bizarre. Look, I love Richie. Everybody here does. Spags does. There is the 90 to 95 percent of Richie that is outstanding. It’s the other 5 or 10 when the dark Richie kicks in and it becomes a problem.
He was here to pick up some clothes or equipment. He was here about a month ago. We told him the door is always open any time he wants to stop by and say hello. But trust me, that’s all it is; just dropping by to say hello. Richie feels the same way. He knows with everything that’s gone on here, it’s best for him to be someplace else.
The lesson? If you visit Rams Park during the offseason, you will have a rumor circulate about you, whether you're just picking up that extra can of Right Guard or taking spare clothes home to get washed.
A more interesting note from that same article, has Devaney saying that the team is speaking with some other tight ends to fill a very thin spot on the roster. What kind of guys? Established? Unknowns with potential? Stay tuned.

I've mentioned this before...
…if he goes to AZ, he won’t just be a backup. I would bet that he ends up starting over Leinart, and he’ll light us up while he throws to Larry Fitzgerald. If we draft Bradford, prepare for Bulger to tear us a new one, and prepare for Suh to end Bradford’s career prematurely when we play the Lions again.
Of course, this is all worst case scenario.

Trade to arizona
The NFL is becoming a ridiculous rumor mill like soap opera.Maybe you should read further from the source about Richie Cognito where Devaney says he doesn’t care what anyone thinks he like’s Bulger.Let’s stick to the draft and stop with the he said,she said garabage.
people think this info is worth commenting on
we’re not presenting this as factual, just what we hear. When a report suggests that a rival team is interested in Rams QB Marc Bulger, it’s of interest to people. We don’t create the rumors we just comment on them.

Not you.You've been pretty straight foward.
I made that statement refering to Bernie Miklasz and Howard Balzers’s comment about him cleaning his locker.
Wait....what?

What does that even mean?

Wait..What?
It means he’s trying to keep him.
Trying to keep Bulger
Read the St Louis Globe Democrat
Sorry.
I’m trying to figure out your comment and how Richie (In)Cognito has anything to do with Marc Bulger.

I think it'd be funny
if bulger goes to the cards, and then destroys the rams; it’d be sad, yet funny.
The draft is very deep with the QBs, so we can get a pretty damn decent one with the second round pick, and just take Suh in the first
"Twin-headed infinite swirling vortex of grotesque suckitude known as Tony Clark and Eric Byrnes"
I'd be very happy for him
yet it’d suck big time for us.
But, ultimately, he deserves to play behind an o-line that will actually protect him.

I wouldn't mind it
if he was the first QB to do that, but we can’t let our last two QBs (Warner and Bulger) go to the same division rival and lead them to division crowns and superbowl appearences. Of course Bulger would have to go the Giants for a year first.
It wouldn't be funny at all.
After the way Warner did that, no it’s not funny and I am praying we don’t have to go through that again, especially so soon. I guess Sergey wasn’t actually paying attention when that was going on.
I wish nothing but the best for Bulger, I wear his autographed jersey aroud town (and in my avatar), but for the love of Mike do NOT go to the Cards or Hawks.
Bulger
I’d be more than willing for the Rams to hang onto Bulger, but they can’t do that at $10 million. So, why not renegotiate a deal with him? That wouldn’t be in Bulger’s interest since he might very well be able to get a better offer as a backup somewhere given the very weak market for QBs.
I like Bulger, but I don’t know how much he has left.

I still don't understand why the Rams can't keep Bulger at $10 million?
There’s no cap and they have the money. His 10 Mil shouldn’t be getting in the way of anything happening since they’ve parred so much payroll as it is.

- John Wayne
But if we wait until next year to release him wouldn't we take a big cap hit
While if we release him now, there is really no penalty? I’m not sure how it all works but that sounds like what would happen to me. So I think we need to restructure.
His guaranteed money is over.
Even if there would have been a cap this year, we would have saved money by cutting him.

- John Wayne
Why not a 2 year deal, backloaded...
or a fat deal for just the 1 uncapped year? Either one makes tons more sense than letting him go to the Cards
If he just goes to the Cards, it would hurt badly if we don’t get a star in here right away. I do not want to deal with that again, honestly
Bulger
Once the Rams draft Bradford he will get knocked out week 1 or 2 of the season. He got knocked out with OUs great offensive line. Rams offensive line is the problem and now that Incognito is gone it has gotten worse.
Bulgers
gotta be one of the toughest quarterbacks since the turn of the century. I would like to see him back I think he can be a #2 this season. But to me the feeley move was a sign that bulgers on his way out.
Robbins
Rams sign DT Fred Robbins….let the bradford mania begin
Bulger very well could be done, but I bet he stays a Ram.
His line was better than he had the last two years and still nothing too impressive save for a couple of really good games. What happened there? Good play calling or the Bulger of old? The game against NO is the Bulger we need: 26/40, 298 yds, 2/1. Maybe we’ll see more of him this season?
Feely is coming in to replace Boller.
I don’t see that it has anything to do with Bulger. I wouldn’t mind seeing Bulger stay around another year, but it all depends upon March 25. I think that’s why the Rams aren’t doing anything about Bulger yet. If Bradford has a great pro day, the Rams will probably take him and there will be more pressure to restructure Bulger’s contract or cut him. On the other hand, if Bradford doesn’t convince everyone of his wonderfulness, Bulger may stay around and start again in 2010.
