The Rams don’t know what they want to do yet with Marc Bulger, no matter what is or isn’t in his locker.
NFL.com’s Steve Wyche writes that the Rams are downplaying a report that Bulger cleaned out his locker, saying he’s left workout gear and other belongings there.
More importantly, Bulger’s future isn’t up to him. Wyche says that Bulger “wouldn’t mind” returning (for $8.5 million), but that he’d also welcome a fresh start elsewhere.
The Rams haven’t closed the door publicly on Bulger, with Steve Spagnuolo saying some kind words about him.
The lack of a salary cap means the Rams don’t have to rush to do anything. It makes a lot of sense to retain Bulger until the NFL Draft to keep all of their options open.
