Bulger's options

Leading up to this year's draft, speculation ran rampant that Arizona was going to be Marc Bulger's next destination. The Big Dead weren't going to keep Larry Fitzgerald happy by reaching for a rookie QB; they needed to go after a veteran.


Arizona would have, and wouldn't have, made sense for Bulger. He'd definitely have had an opportunity to start and would be well-rested after riding the bench in Baltimore in 2010. The idea becomes laughable, though, if you think in terms of Bulger actually volunteering to play behind Arizona's Swiss-cheese offensive line, which actually got worse this offseason with the retirement of Alan Faneca. Bulger's 34; he's not going to go somewhere to be a sitting duck.



According to reports, Bulger says he "wants to play on the East Coast". Not only that, the Kevin Kolb-to-Arizona talk has very much intensified. ESPN's John Clayton, who insisted Bulger was definitely going to Arizona two weeks ago, now speculates that Washington has interest, Miami would be a good fit, or Bulger could always stay with the Ravens.


If the Rams do face Marc Bulger in a game next season, it's pretty doubtful he'll be in a Cardinals uniform.
