Former Philadelphia Eagles star running back Brian Westbrook is undergoing a physical with the St. Louis Rams.
A physical is typically the last hurdle before a player signs a contract, but that might not be the case here.
Head coach Steve Spagnuolo said that the team is way too early in the process to make any committments.
Westbrook would give the Rams a running back with more versatility and playmaking ability in the passing game.
The team already has a star at the position in Steven Jackson, who would retain the starter’s job.

The St. Louis Rams held on to the top overall pick in the NFL Draft and selected quarterback Sam Bradford.
With really no other quarterbacks on the roster, it is entirely possible that Bradford starts from Day 1.
There is always the possibility that the team will bring in a veteran before training camp to take the lumps before Bradford is ready.
Some feel that Bradford needs to start right away since the team invested their top pick in him.
Others feel that putting Bradford in the line of fire before he is ready could ruin his career before it gets started.

The Cleveland Browns and St. Louis Rams have had discussions about a possible trade involving the No. 1 overall selection in this year’s NFL Draft.
The Rams have been back and forth on who to select with the first overall pick but now seem to have settled on Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford.
However, the Browns also seem very interested in selecting a quarterback in the first round and might want to move up to grab Bradford.
The only problem for the Browns is that they would have to sign over a number of their 2010 and even 2011 draft picks in order to move up just a few spots to get their quarterback.
St. Louis likes Bradford a lot, but they have so many needs that they could be better off trading the top pick to Cleveland and receiving several selections in return.

In what comes as no big surprise, the St. Louis Rams have released veteran quarterback Marc Bulger.
Bulger, who was once considered the franchise quarterback, battled injuries and inconsistency the past couple of years.
The quarterback seemed to struggle when both Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce began to show their age.
Things didn’t get any better as Orlando Pace’s best days came to an end and the offensive line turned into a sieve.
Bulger will likely garner interest on the free agent market for a number of teams looking for a solution at the quarterback position.

After getting a look at quarterback Sam Bradford, the St. Louis Rams turned their attention to Colt McCoy.
The Rams brought in the quarterback for a private workout and came away impressed with what they saw.
Now the Rams have a big decision to make. Do they take Bradford with the No. 1 overall pick or upgrade their club in another area in hopes of taking McCoy a couple of rounds later?
There is no doubt that Bradford is the better pro prospect, but how much better is he than McCoy?
There is also a bigger injury risk when it comes to Bradford because of the shoulder problem that plagued him his junior year.
