The Rams have agreed to sign Dan Orlovsky, the quarterback tells ESPN producer Jason Romano. He’ll now try to make the final 53-man cut as a backup to youngster Jared Goff.

As it stands, Sean Mannion is slotted in as the primary understudy to Goff. There has been no indication that the Rams are dissatisfied with the 25-year-old signal caller, so Orlovsky could be looking at a QB3-or-bust situation.
Orlovsky has spent time with the Texans, Colts, and Buccaneers, but he is best known for his two stints with the Lions. Since being drafted in 2005, Orlovsky has made just 12 career starts. He’ll turn 34 next month.
To the surprise of some, Orlovsky has found work in 2017 while quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick and Robert Griffin III remain unemployed. Orlovsky has also signed ahead of fellow ex-Lions QB Shaun Hill.

As he should be. Why pay millions for his crap.
Because this is America. We pay tons for everyone’s crap.
I’m sure the deal has minimal guarantees and is at the league minimum. I’m sure it’s not the deal Kaep is looking for. He’ll most likely get cut anyway before the season starts.
Maybe Kap and RGIII are asking for to much money. I am sure Orvlosky probably only got the minimum or not much above that.
That’s why the Chargers are going to sink the Rams. RG3 semi sucks but he brings out the press even when he sits.
