ST. LOUIS - Sam Bradford said rehab from knee surgery has been an easier process the second time around.The St. Louis Rams quarterback has been running for a few weeks, increasing the workload in the weight room, too.Although he wasnt certain of a timetable for his return, he feels like hes kind of turned the corner.Bradford also understands the business side, and the uncertainty about a player who has made 49 starts and missed 31 games.Coach Jeff Fisher said Tuesday the Rams (6-10) would look to add a quarterback in free agency or the draft, and if Bradfords back hed have to have his contract re-worked and then win the job.After declining to go into specifics, Fisher added, I think it would make sense that both sides need to get together and work something out.Bradford, enthusiastic and engaging, spent time at the podium just ahead of Fishers news conference. He wouldnt mind if the team took a quarterback early in the draft.I would accept it, he said. I feel like every time I step on the field, its a competition. If they feel like thats in the best interest of the team, then I would support it and I would embrace the competition.Both sides said there have been no discussions about re-working the contract. Bradford is heading into the final year of a six-year, $78 million deal and set to make a base salary of nearly $13 million, and his cap number is $16.58 million for next season.Bradford missed the entire season after reinjuring his surgically repaired left knee in the third week of the preseason. He missed the last nine games in 2013 after injuring the knee for the first time and missed six games with a high ankle sprain in 2011.The Rams havent finished .500 since 2006 and havent had a winning record since 2003. A healthy Bradford could have ended that drought.Fisher noted in his three seasons with the team, Bradford is 5-2-1 against the NFC West and his replacements are 2-8.Thats indicative of the type of talent he has, Fisher said. Most of those wins came when this team wasnt, in our opinion, as good as it is now.Reasons why the Rams have optimism going into next season:REPLACEMENT QUARTERBACKS: Both 34-year-old Shaun Hill and Austin Davis did some good things, and also struggled at times. Davis lost the job with a poor game at Arizona — two interceptions, one returned for a TD, and a fumble that was returned for another score in a 31-14 loss. Hill threw a game-ending goal-line interception at San Diego when the Rams could have forced overtime and threw two interceptions in the finale at Seattle. The Rams gave up an NFL-high 10 return scores, eight of them by the opposing defence. At this point, Fisher is interested in both returning.Defence RULES: Gregg Williams aggressive unit didnt allow a touchdown for three straight weeks, a pair of blowout shutouts over Oakland and Washington and a 12-6 loss to the Cardinals, who mustered four field goals. After no sacks the first five games, the Rams piled up 40 in the last 11 games. End Robert Quinn (10 1/2 sacks) is going to the Pro Bowl a second straight season and there was sufficient depth to withstand end Chris Longs injury.FAST STARTS, SLOW FINISHES: The Rams outscored opponents by 58 points in the first half and had NFC West champion Seattle down 6-0 at halftime of the finale. Seattle outscored them 20-0 in the second half, and they were among the NFLs worst at minus-88 after the break. Fisher doesnt blame play-calling, praising offensive co-ordinator Brian Schottenheimer as outstanding play-caller.SPECIAL TEAMS: Johnny Hekker was a standout, leading the NFL in net punting and finishing second in gross punting. Benny Cunningham led the NFC with a 27.5-yard average on kickoff returns. The Rams were second in punt returns, with Tavon Austin averaging 11.2 yards with a 78-yard score.YOUNG BUNCH: Defensive tackle Aaron Donald was a standout, leading rookies with nine sacks and earning a trip to the Pro Bowl. Three other rookies started and played well — offensive tackle Greg Robinson, running back Tre Mason and cornerback E.J. Gaines. Outside linebacker Alec Ogletree has led the team in tackles both of his seasons and Austin has been an occasional big-play threat both of his seasons.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Jonathan dos Santos Jersey . -- Keith Aulie has joined the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Oribe Peralta Jersey .com) - Rakeem Christmas scored 21 points, B.Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosbergs Spanish GP collision may prove the defining moment for the future of their Mercedes partnership, according to Sky F1s Martin Brundle. The Mercedes team-mates and title rivals crashed out on the opening lap at Barcelona as they battled over the lead after Rosberg overtook pole-sitter Hamilton at the start.Although the pair have tangled on track before, most infamously at the 2014 Belgian GP, Sundays race was the first it has resulted in both drivers dropping out of the race. And Brundle reckons the significance of the incident cannot be underestimated.That vision of those two in the gravel trap at Turn Four on the first lap I think will be the defining moment of this season and possibly the defining moment of where the Mercedes team heads for 2017, said the Sky Sports F1 commentator. Anthony Davidson looks at the collision between Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg that wiped bboth Mercedes drivers out of the Spanish GP on lap one.dddddddddddd I think it will be a defining moment because they have to make decisions moving forward. And we have seen with other teams in history - and maybe a little bit with [Max] Verstappen and [Carlos] Sainz at Toro Rosso - can they continue working together those two drivers?Do they have to find a new way moving forward? Is it recoverable? It will be very interesting to see how they react to this afternoon because I think it is a defining moment. Hamilton and Rosberg crash out Watch the incident which saw both Lewis and Nico crash out of the Spanish GP Hamilton and Rosberg have been team-mates at Mercedes since 2013 and their partnership, while delivering the Brackley team back-to-back world championship doubles in 2014 and 2015, has regularly simmered and occasionally boiled over amid exclusive duels for the titles. Rosbergs current contract runs out at the end of the season, but the German has been thought likely to be offered a new deal after winning the opening four races of 2016.Hamilton is in the first season of a new three-year agreement which runs to the end of 2018.
