The Rams have signed free agent quarterback Carson Wentz according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

The signing of Wentz is a “splash” in the eerily quiet free agent quarterback market. Wentz, who is now on his fourth team in four seasons, will have a chance to serve as the backup to Matthew Stafford after a poor one-start outing by Brett Rypien in Week 8,

Wentz went 2-5 as a starter with the Commanders last season, throwing for 1755-11-9 while infamously losing against the Browns to eliminate the Commanders from playoff contention. The former No. 2 overall pick is a shell of what he once was in 2017 when he threw for 3296-33-7 in an MVP caliber season, but is a more capable backup than Rypien or the now released Dresser Wynn.

The Rams are on bye this week, and head coach Sean McVay said he expects Matthew Stafford (thumb) to be back by Week 11, meaning Wentz is little more than an insurance policy at this point.
