Bortles reaches deal with Rams to back up Goff
Former Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles has agreed to terms on a one-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams to be Jared Goff's backup, the team announced Monday.
Sean Mannion, who is now an unrestricted free agent, spent the past four seasons as a backup with the Rams. A third-round pick in 2015, Mannion passed for 258 yards, with an interception, in 10 games. Last season, Mannion played the majority of the snaps in the preseason, as Rams coach Sean McVay elected to not play the majority of his starters, including Goff. Mannion struggled in three preseason starts and created uncertainty about his ability to step in if needed.
