The St. Louis Rams showed they were all in on quarterback Sam Bradford during the 2014 NFL Draft by selecting Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson, despite the fact that there were rumors they were interested in Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. There were even rumors that the Rams were considering trading Bradford in order to get someone like Manziel, but Rams head coach Jeff Fisher is denying those reports.

From Pro Football Talk:

"Appearing on Monday’s edition of The Dan Patrick Show, Rams coach Jeff Fisher said that the team made no calls — and received no calls — about a possible Bradford trade."

It is interesting though, but not all too surprising. Bradford has a mammoth and unappealing contract and is coming off an ACL injury.
