Ryan Fitzpatrick joining Dolphins gives Rams one less backup to consider

Sooner or later, the Los Angeles Rams will need to figure out who their backup quarterback to Jared Goff is going to be for the 2019 season, whether it happens to be Sean Mannion or someone else.

At least after Sunday, the Rams can officially rule out one potential option in Ryan Fitzpatrick, who agreed to a two-year deal with the Miami Dolphins to become their new starter.

From Fitzpatrick’s perspective, the decision to sign with the Dolphins seemed like a no brainer since they already made it clear he would be their starter for at least the 2019 season after recently trading Ryan Tannehill to the Tennessee Titans.
