Gradkowski to the Rams
We've learned Bruce Gradkowski, released by the Bucs on Friday, has been claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Rams. We're still awaiting official confirmation from the league. That means the Rams will take on the final two years of his deal, which is set to expire after the 2009 season.

St. Louis currently has three quarterbacks on its roster: starter Marc Bulger and backups Trent Green and Brock Berlin. Gradkowski would seem to at least have an edge over Berlin for the No. 3 spot behind Green, assuming Green is in good health.

Gradkowski was reportedly drawing interest from several clubs who were considering making waiver claims for the third-year player out of Toledo.

Word also is that both the Chicago Bears and the Oakland Raiders put waiver claims in on Gradkowski.
