Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:26:50 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford is expected to take more of a leadership role on offense in 2013, especially with RB Steven Jackson (Falcons) having moved on during the offseason. "You now we saw it was coming (last season)," head coach Jeff Fisher said. "Sam really took things over the second half of the season. We've got guys who can stand up and take charge and carry the torch. I'm not concerned about that. Sam, I was very impressed with how he handled things."
Mon, 18 Feb 2013 12:14:31 -0800 St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher indicated the play of QB Sam Bradford was negatively affected by some of the other players on offense this season but is happy with Bradford performed in 2012. "His play was directly affected by the people around him. There's times when it's difficult to step up in the pocket and make the good throw. That's not the quarterback's fault. That's whatever's going on out front," Fisher said. "We're pleased with what Sam did. He's got an exciting future. I know he's really excited about coming back in here in April and getting started and not having to learn another offense."
Sat, 16 Feb 2013 06:06:24 -0800 If the St. Louis Rams had decided to keep the No. 2 overall selection in last year's NFL Draft and taken Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III, they would have received a high first-round pick back from a team willing to trade for QB Sam Bradford.
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 14:05:07 -0800 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford went 35-for-55 for 377 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15.
Sun, 02 Dec 2012 18:14:10 -0800 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford completed 26 of his 39 pass attempts for 221 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 13 game against the San Francisco 49ers. He carried three times for 31 yards.
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:27:13 -0800 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford completed eight of his 17 pass attempts for 205 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. Bradford left the game briefly due to an undisclosed injury, but returned after missing one play. QB Kellen Clemens had an incompletion in his brief appearance.
Sun, 11 Nov 2012 22:31:37 -0800 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford completed 26 of his 39 pass attempts for 275 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 10 tie against the San Francisco 49ers.
Sun, 28 Oct 2012 11:18:42 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (side) was slammed to the turf in the second quarter of the Week 8 game against the New England Patriots, and he was in obvious pain. However, the Rams called timeout, and Bradford was able to return without missing a play.
Wed, 24 Oct 2012 08:05:21 -0700 Updating a previous item, St. Louis Rams WR Danny Amendola (clavicle) was limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 24. QB Sam Bradford said it would be a big boost if Amendola could return for Week 8. "It would mean a lot. Obviously, I've said it before, a lot of our offense runs through Danny when he's healthy," Bradford said. "Just from the initial reports, I thought it was going to be quite a bit longer for him to get back on the field. But any time you get him back out there, I think it brought a whole spark to the whole group today, and just lifted everyone's spirits seeing him back out there." Fantasy Tip: Owners should keep a close eye on just how much Amendola practices the rest of this week. Initial reports said his recovery time would be roughly six weeks. Nevertheless, his participation in practice, although limited, is a positive sign.
Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:33:50 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford went 26-for-39 for 315 yards in Week 6 against the Miami Dolphins.
Fri, 12 Oct 2012 15:06:40 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (knee) fully participated in practice and is probable for the team's Week 6 game.
Sun, 16 Sep 2012 23:22:37 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford completed 26 of 35 passes for 310 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in Week 2 against the Washington Redskins. It was the fourth time in his career topping the 300-yard mark.
Sun, 09 Sep 2012 20:05:31 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford completed 17-of-25 passes for 198 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in the Week 1 game against the Detroit Lions. He carried three times for three yards, and also fumbled once, although it was recovered.
Thu, 06 Sep 2012 07:32:00 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford said his decision to wait another year before declaring for the NFL Draft was not because he wanted to avoid playing for the Detroit Lions. "None at all," Bradford said when asked if playing in Detroit factored into his decision. "I went back to school just because I felt I wasn't ready for the NFL. At that point I had only played two seasons. I think I was still 20, 21 years old. I just felt I could really use another year in school to mature, both physically and mentally. Even though I came back and got hurt, I still feel that year helped me develop as a person."
Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:14:52 -0700 St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead said QB Sam Bradford continues to gain comfort with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's scheme, and the team feels Bradford will be ready for the season. "I definitely think so," Snead said. "I think the more times we get on stage, and that'll occur tomorrow night against the Ravens in St. Louis, the more time he gets out there, plays and gets timing down with his receivers, he'll continue to develop in this offense."
Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:14:17 -0700 St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher wants to get WRs Chris Givens and Brian Quick time with the first-team offense in the preseason finale, although he also admitted WR Steve E. Smith hasn't had much chance to work with QB Sam Bradford either. "Yes, there's a chance I'll move them up. I'd like to see Givens and Quick in there, but they're all young receivers," Fisher said. "You take, for example, Steve Smith's case. He hasn't really had an opportunity to work with Sam. We'll play as many as we can earlier in the game and with the numbers down, they'll be playing throughout the game."
Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:13:44 -0700 St. Louis Rams C Scott Wells (knee) made his preseason debut against the Dallas Cowboys, and he is slowly working his way back from offseason knee surgery. Wells and QB Sam Bradford are slowly getting used to each other.
Mon, 20 Aug 2012 12:54:46 -0700 St. Louis Rams WR Brandon Gibson (hamstring) has missed time with a hamstring injury, which has setback his time with QB Sam Bradford. He had a solid performance earlier in training camp.
Thu, 16 Aug 2012 16:30:53 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle) said his ankle is a non-issue at this time because he has not missed any practice or game repetitions. He said he does not expect to undergo surgery on the ankle.
Thu, 16 Aug 2012 09:54:33 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford's (ankle) ankle is still not 100 percent, and he continues to battle soreness from the ligaments being stretched. Bradford can still play through the ailment this season; however, when the season ends there is a definite possibility that a corrective procedure will be prescribed, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Depending on how the ankle withstands the rigors of the season, prolonged rest in the offseason could be prescribed rather than surgery.
Thu, 16 Aug 2012 06:51:23 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford said he is working with offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer to fix and ultimately speed up his pocket mechanics. Bradford has absorbed 70 sacks in 26 career games through two seasons. "That's a lot of what I've talked about with Schotty so far," Bradford said. "Two days ago in camp, I thought I had a really good practice. I'm not sure the ball hit the ground once. And we got in the film room, and (Schottenheimer) was all over me about getting the ball out of my hands even quicker, to eliminate hits. He's made it a big point ... It's part of my job to help the protection and get the ball out of my hands and make sure that, even if it's not a sack, I'm eliminating the unnecessary hits."
Tue, 07 Aug 2012 14:55:33 -0700 St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher doesn't anticipate any problems with QB Sam Bradford (ankle) in his recovery from last year's ankle injury. "There's going to be residual effects from high-ankle sprains, especially when you come back into practice like he is. But we don't anticipate it to be a problem, and it hasn't been one. He's moving around fine," Fisher said. Bradford recently said his left ankle still wasn't 100 percent healthy.
Sun, 05 Aug 2012 12:37:50 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle) said he is still not 100 percent recovered from the ankle injury he suffered last season and it is something he is managing during practice. "It's close," Bradford said. "I think it's as good as it's going to feel. It's something that we're managing right now. I've been able to take every snap so far without any setbacks and I think that's a positive sign."
Sat, 04 Aug 2012 18:10:52 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford worked with three-step drops and quick five-step throws in his rookie season under then-offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, and he completed 60 percent of his passes. Last season, then-offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels had Bradford working in seven-step drops and five-step throws to 15- and 18-yard routes. It was a disaster, as Bradford took a beating with receivers not getting open. His completion percentage was 53 percent. Bradford is back to his rookie ways under new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer, and the word is that Bradford looks re-vitalized. He also started lifting weights and is throwing with authority.
Thu, 02 Aug 2012 07:23:49 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford was sacked or hit 83 times as a rookie and was on pace to hit the turf 122 times last season before going down with an ankle injury.
Wed, 01 Aug 2012 12:11:37 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford has impressed the coaches with his grasp of the offense as well as the way he has been throwing so far during training camp.

Thu, 12 Jul 2012 07:59:48 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford said he is glad he stayed in school at Oklahoma after winning the Heisman Trophy. Bradford acknowledged he could not have led a huddle at 21 years of age. "I know coming back was the complete right decision for me. There's no way I was ready to leave college after two and a half years," Bradford said. "Even though I came back and got hurt, the experience that I gained in that extra year was invaluable. There's no way I would have been able to step into an NFL huddle and lead an NFL team at 21 years old."
Thu, 05 Jul 2012 12:52:33 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle) said his ankle is feeling good but there are still days it does not feel 100 percent. He said he has not had major setbacks in his recovery and hopes the ankle will be a non-factor during training camp.
Thu, 21 Jun 2012 09:20:46 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford did not play with the same confidence in the pocket last season as he did during his rookie campaign, according to former NFL QB and current analyst Ron Jaworski. "In 2011, Bradford - with very few exceptions - did not look like the same, confident pocket quarterback that I saw as a rookie," Jaworski said. "He was tentative in the pocket, a function of both erratic offensive line play and receivers that could not win on the outside. But I was troubled by Bradford's increasing tendency to anticipate the rush. I call that 'Cabin Fever.' And Bradford struggled with that."
Wed, 13 Jun 2012 22:28:37 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford said Wednesday, June 13, that he isn't all the way there learning the team's new offense, but likes that this season he has more time because of a full offseason program to learn. Most of this week has been a refresher course and a chance for he and his teammates to brush up on the offseason again before departing for the next five or six weeks.
Mon, 28 May 2012 06:16:11 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford made a slight adjustment to his contract earlier this month, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

As part of a renegotiation, half of the $12 million in base salary was converted to a roster bonus that was paid May 11. The remaining $6 million will be paid out in base salary during the 2012 season.
Thu, 24 May 2012 08:25:19 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle) said he is still experiencing soreness from the sprained ankle he suffered last season. "It's getting there," Bradford said. "It seems to feel better every week. There's less soreness, more things I can do. I think it's definitely on the right track."
Tue, 08 May 2012 14:32:25 -0700 The St. Louis Rams informed QB Sam Bradford that they would not be selecting another quarterback in the 2012 NFL Draft. "Pretty much from the beginning, they told me that I was their guy and that I had no reason to worry about them taking a quarterback in this draft," Bradford said.
Fri, 04 May 2012 22:37:18 -0700 St. Louis Rams general manager Les Snead said Friday, April 4, that the team was not interested in trading QB Sam Bradford in order to take QB Robert Griffin III. "No," Snead said. "The only time it might've crossed my mind was if, for some reason, we were to get stuck (with the No. 2 pick overall in the 2012 NFL Draft) because we didn't get what we really wanted. Do you take the kid and trade him from there? That might've been the only time, and that would've been the riskiest of risky moves. But I'll be clear: We decided early on that Sam was out quarterback."
Thu, 29 Mar 2012 07:15:07 -0700 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle) has fully recovered from his ankle injury, even though the injury lingered during the offseason. "Sam finished his rehab probably about a month ago," head coach Jeff Fisher said. "The ankle lingered a little bit in the offseason. He's in good shape now."
Wed, 28 Mar 2012 10:02:28 -0700 The Cleveland Browns inquired about the availability of St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford before trying to acquire the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. The Browns were told Bradford was not available.
Fri, 24 Feb 2012 11:12:18 -0800 St. Louis Rams head coach Jeff Fisher said the team is not thinking about trading QB Sam Bradford even though they would have a chance to draft Stanford QB Andrew Luck or Baylor QB Robert Griffin III if they keep the second overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

He is touring the team's training facility and meeting with QB Sam Bradford. In conversations with ESPN's Adam Schefter, Fisher has stated he is considering returning to coaching next year with the Rams or Miami Dolphins, and he is expected to choose between the two teams this week. Fisher did not coach during 2011 after being fired by the Titans.
Fri, 06 Jan 2012 08:16:46 -0800 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford genuinely loves offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' scheme. He has talked with several quarterbacks and coaches who have run that type of offense and everyone tells him it takes two to three years to master it. If given a choice between the West Coast offense he learned as a rookie and the 'Patriot' offense he used this year, Bradford said he'd prefer McDaniels' offense.
Thu, 05 Jan 2012 06:02:58 -0800 According to people around the league, former NFL head coach Jeff Fisher could be interested in the St. Louis Rams' head coaching position, if they make an offer, because they have a franchise-caliber quarterback in QB Sam Bradford.
Mon, 02 Jan 2012 06:31:49 -0800 Trading St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford would be very difficult due to financial reasons. According to a source with knowledge of Bradford's contract, the team already has paid him $30 million in only two seasons. He has $12 million guaranteed due in 2012, and he's scheduled to earn another $9 million guaranteed in 2013. Thus, to trade Bradford, the Rams would need to find a team willing to cough up $21 million guaranteed over two years. Bradford's new team would have to be willing to give up multiple picks and/or players. Bradford's buzz has also greatly diminished after this season.
Sun, 01 Jan 2012 08:45:17 -0800 The St. Louis Rams have declared QB A.J. Feeley, TE Benjamin Guidugli, CB Justin King, OL Kevin Hughes, TE Mike McNeill, CB Nate Ness, QB Sam Bradford inactive for Week 17.

Thu, 29 Dec 2011 06:25:03 -0800 St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford (ankle) is unlikely to play in the team's Week 17 game. Bradford missed another practice Wednesday, Dec. 28, and didn't appear optimistic about his chances of playing. "It's still now where I think our training staff would like it to be," Bradford said. "This week was really the first time we had really done much and to be honest it didn't feel great in the little that we did do."
