Monday’s PFT Live on NBC Sports Radio will include a visit from Rams coach Jeff Fisher. I know this because the interview with Fisher has been recorded, given that the initial broadcast of the show happens between 3:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. PT.
Instead of making you wait until Monday morning, we’ve decided to premiere the interview now, during what otherwise would be the NFL’s weekly repository of stuff they’d rather not have to tell us.
In the interview, Fisher tells us more about the trade, including that there were more teams in contention for the No. 1 pick but that the ability to throw in a second second-round pick this year (thanks to the Sam Bradford trade) became a key to boxing out the other teams.
Speaking of the Bradford trade, Fisher was asked whether they quarterback they acquired in that deal -- Nick Foles -- will be on the roster as of Week One. Fisher called that a great question, and perhaps all that that implies. With current No. 1 option Case Keenum still on the roster and 2015 third-round option Sean Mannion entering his second year, Foles looks to be the odd man out.
Especially since the table was set a year ago for Foles to become the clear-cut starter, and it simply didn’t work.
So find out if the button below works by clicking on it and hearing everything Fisher had to say.
