Thomas Says Rams' Reported Interest for Foles 'B.S.'

Reports emerged earlier this week that the St. Louis Rams would have interest in Nick Foles if the Philadelphia Eagles decided to trade him during the offseason.
Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, however, is calling the reports B.S., literally.
"In talking to some Rams people, the two letter answer I get to that is B-period-S-period," Thomas told The Ryan Kelley Morning After on Friday. "You really don't talk about those trades in late January when the beginning of the trade period is March 10. There's nothing to that right now."
Thomas said Foles "doesn't move the needle" a lot in his opinion.
"It would come down what you would want to give up for him. I certainly wouldn't give up a first round (pick). I'm not even sure I'd give up a second round," he said.
The Rams are clearly in need of an upgrade at quarterback. Sam Bradford has torn two ACLs in as many seasons and in 2014 the team bounced between backup quarterbacks Austin Davis and Shaun Hill.
Bradford, 27, has one year and $16.58 million left on his six year, $78 million rookie contract. Barring the unforeseen circumstance that he and agent Tom Condon are unable to reach an agreement with the Rams to restructure his deal, the quarterback will return to the Rams in 2015 to compete for the starting job in his sixth NFL campaign
In his season-ending press conference earlier this month, Jeff Fisher said Bradford would compete for the starting job with 'someone not in the building.'
