Mike Sando: Yeah, there’s no way at this point he’ll return for his $8.5 million salary. The team might have even made a change last offseason if Bulger’s contract hadn’t called for so much of his 2009 money to be guaranteed. I question whether Bulger would take that kind of cut to come back. He might be better off getting a fresh start someplace else. The issue for the Rams is whether they could find another quarterback just as good for, say, half the money.

- ESPN’s Mike Sando (who has been a great go-to for Rams information over the past week and all season long.) Thanks Mike!
