The Rams handed the car keys to quarterback Nick Foles with a contract extension.
“He won’t crash,” Rams executive vice president Kevin Demoff said.
Without throwing a pass for the team in the regular season, or even the preseason, the Rams have seen enough in Foles. They signed their new starter to a two-year contract extension Friday, shortly before the start of the team’s practice and scrimmage at Lindenwood University.
Foles had been scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent after this season. Now, he could be under contract through the 2017 season, with the three-year value of the deal at $26 million as confirmed through league sources.
