Thursday was somewhat eventful for Rams first-rounder Robert Quinn, who generally has had an eventful couple of weeks.

In recent days he has changed agents, been sued by his former agent, and signed a first-round rookie contract. But he hadn’t practiced because he hadn’t passed a physical.

On Thursday, he passed the physical. But on Thursday his contract was disapproved by the league office. It appears that whatever flaw appeared in his contract has been rectified.

The disapproval of the Quinn deal comes in the wake of a slew of undrafted free agent contracts signed by the Rams being disapproved because they gave the team TV and radio rights.
