Source: Rams to start work on deal
The St. Louis Rams and quarterback Sam Bradford's representatives are scheduled to meet Friday in St. Louis, according to a league source.

Is there a 'franchise' QB to be found in Rams future?By Bill Coats
Marc Bulger's days as the Rams' starting quarterback appear to be numbered.
The team, which hasn't posted a winning record since 2003, will lug a 17-game losing streak to Detroit on Sunday. And Bulger, 32, hasn't been able to reprise anywhere near the production of his Pro Bowl season in 2006.
