Kyle Boller Joins Rams as Back-up to Bulger

The St. Louis Rams were in discussion to bring back Gus Frerotte as Marc Bulger's back-up for next season, instead they chose a man 10 years younger. Terms of his contract were not disclosed.

"We are happy to add Kyle to our roster," new coach Steve Spagnuolo said in a statement. "We feel that he'll be a valuable addition to our team."

Kyle Boller, the former first round pick of the Baltimore Ravens in 2003 has hopped onto the Rams roster. Boller spent last season on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the pre-season.

The 27-year old signal caller has started 42 games with the Ravens and holds the franchise record with 7,846 yards, 45 touchdown passes and 44 interceptions. His inconsistent play and the emergence of the Ravens' 2008 first rounder Joe Flacco left Boller expendable.

Boller's best season was 2004, when he started every game and passed for 2,559 yards with 13 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
