The Los Angeles Rams have signed quarterback Blake Bortles.

According to ProFootballTalk, the Rams have inked Bortles to a deal following Jared Goff needing surgery on his throwing thumb. (RELATED: David Hookstead Is The True King In The North When It Comes To College Football)

Bortles previously played for the Rams in 2019 and was most recently a member of Denver’s practice squad. Contract details aren’t known at this time.

I absolutely love the fact that Bortles is managing to stick around in the NFL and always finding a way to be on a roster.

Let’s not forget that the man was the face of football in Jacksonville for several years.

He hasn’t played much since the Jaguars cut him loose, but he’s now back on the Rams as Los Angeles fights for a playoff spot.

Seeing as how Goff won’t be playing anymore this season and John Wolford is the definition of unproven, signing Bortles makes sense.

If Wolford fails against the Cardinals, then Bortles can quickly be thrown into the fire.

One thing I know for sure is that the NFL is simply more fun when Bortles is flying high! Welcome back to Los Angeles!
