Could the Rams sign a former divisional rival as insurance for Matthew Stafford?

Former Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy was released Monday in what looks like a tanking move from Arizona, but he could be a perfect fit for the Los Angeles Rams as an upgrade to backup Matthew Stafford this season.

The Rams had to suffer through some rough games in 2022. While bad offensive line play didn’t help the situation, the Rams lack of quarterback depth was fully on display with former LA quarterbacks, John Wolford and Bryce Perkins, looking woefully inexperienced filling in for Matthew Stafford.

Things got a little better once veteran Baker Mayfield joined the team, and it begs the question, with LA potentially going into another season with an inexperienced backup in rookie Stetson Bennett, should they look into bringing in a veteran once again on the off chance Stafford and the offensive line do not hold up?
