Trent Green cannot go away. Even with all of his concussions and poor play, the St. Louis Rams somehow found it logical to sign him up! According to FOX’s Jay Glazer:
Green told FOXSports.com that he’s agreed to a three-year, $9 million deal with the Rams.
The Rams were an attractive destination for Green because it allowed him to go back home to Missouri as well as play for an organization he had already spent time with in 1999 and 2000.
In his second stint with the Rams, Green will be the backup behind Marc Bulger. He was supposed to be the starter in 1999 before a preseason knee surgery paved the way for Kurt Warner, who led the Rams to their first Super Bowl victory.
Green visited Rams Park last week and had been mulling a decision whether to keep playing. He replaces Gus Frerotte as Bulger’s backup.
“We have now solidified our quarterback position,” coach Scott Linehan said. “You will be hard-pressed to find the quality we have at that position.”
Both Green and Bulger have played in two Pro Bowls.
THREE YEARS???!!!! Are you kidding me? And knowing how Bulger is injured every other game, Green is asking for it. What was the need to sign him anyways? Please Trent, retire, before you end up having the problems Ted Johnson and Steve Young have today. Don’t take the risk.
