When Rams coach Jeff Fisher made the decision to promote Frank Cignetti from quarterbacks coach to offensive coordinator, he said quarterback Sam Bradford played a role in the promotion, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

"I had a lengthy discussion with Sam, yes, prior to making the decision," Fisher said. "It was part of the information gathering process. Sam was very forthcoming. He had some firm opinions. I really enjoyed and appreciated his input."

Fisher added that he expects Bradford to be ready for the 2015 season and the plan is for him to compete for the starting role, so the team can have quality options if Bradford suffers another season-ending injury.

"It's not as much from the standpoint of challenging Sam," Fisher said. "It's to have options. We don't know what that looks like right now. We don't know if that's draft, if that's free agency, or what that looks like. But when we line up in September, we'll have somebody there."
