TRENT RETURNS TO ST. LOUIS
Seven seasons after leaving St. Louis, quarterback Trent Green is returning to town.
According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, Green has agreed to terms with the Rams. Jay Glazer of FOXSports.com reports that it is a three-year, $9 million contract.
Green was a high-profile signing of the Rams in 1999. But Rodney Harrison, then of the Chargers, hit Green low during the preseason, setting the stage for the unlikely ascension of Kurt Warner. Green, who missed all of 1999 with a torn ACL, stayed with the Rams through the 2000 season. He started five games that year as an injury replacement for Warner.
In 2001, Green landed with the Chiefs, where he was reunited with former Rams coach Dick Vermeil. Green stayed in Kansas City until last year, when he was traded late in the offseason to the Dolphins.
In St. Louis, Green will be reunited with Al Saunders, the former offensive coordinator in Kansas City who then moved to Washington and now has the same gig with the Rams.
With Marc Bulger entrenched as the starter, Green likely won't be higher than No. 2 on the roster. The only other quarterback currently on the team is Brock Berlin.
