Last year Marc Bulger was the Ravens backup QB, but he’s a free agent this offseason, and as Fox Sports reports, it’s unlikely he will be back as seems to think he will be a starter – somewhere.
Pending free agent quarterback Marc Bulger has been consistent during the offseason in not addressing rumors about where he might play in 2011, and even remained mum last week when Kurt Warner suggested that, at this point in his career, the 11-year veteran might be content to simply be a backup, but people close to the 34-year-old Bulger took some umbrage at Warner’s remarks. “He still has the fire to play,” said one member of the Bulger camp. “Last year, when he didn’t get off the bench (in Baltimore), it wasn’t like he got completely cozy with being the No. 2 guy. The situation, though, will have to be the right one.” The last part of the equation – identifying a spot where Bulger would be able to compete for a starting job — might be the hardest.
The dearth of quality quarterbacks in the NFL aside, there simply aren’t a ton of starting jobs available. The Tip Sheet reported two months ago that Arizona would be Bulger’s most logical landing spot – and cited some reports that a few NFL officials actually felt there might be an “understanding” between the two parties – but other media reports have linked the Cardinals to a trade for Philadelphia backup Kevin Kolb. Arizona coach Ken Whisenhunt recently suggested that he preferred to get a younger veteran quarterback, so he might not be in the market for an older guy like Bulger, but people close to Bulger continue to insist that he still retains a competitive streak and has not just settled in to a No. 2 quarterback mentality.
