2. Trade or sign a replacement

As mentioned earlier, there isn’t a magical box that the Rams can go to and pull out a viable option at quarterback, most likely the best option that they have is already on their roster. However, if the Rams are willing to pull the trigger there are some possible options out there.

Some options would obviously be to obviously trade for Kirk Cousins, Ryan Mallet, Michael Vick, or Mark Sanchez. Cousins and Mallet are young players who the Rams could use t backup Hill or even use them moving forward. With Schottenheimer, the Rams have a direct connection to Mark Sanchez who has had a really good camp and preseason with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Although Sanchez is the most likely trade option for the Rams, it has been reported that Sanchez has no interest in a reunion with his former offensive coordinator.

The Rams could also look to sign a quarterback that gets released when cuts are made. Guys like Christian Ponder, Josh Freeman, or Tim Tebow would be some options that are out on the market. Like I’ve said however, the best option that they have is most likely already on the roster.
