The St. Louis Rams
have purchased a plane ticket for USC quarterback Mark Sanchez to travel to St. Louis on Sunday, according to Steve Wyche of NFL.com, per our friends at The Red Zone.
What does this development mean?
It doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the Rams are definitely going to draft Sanchez with the second overall pick of the draft and fly him into St. Louis for an introductory press conference.
The Rams might just be plotting contingency plans just in case they draft Sanchez. Or it could be an elaborate smokescreen to get the teams drafting behind them that are interested in Sanchez to initiate trade discussions to move up.
Perhaps the Rams buy several plane tickets to lock in the best prices for every potential draft pick that’s garnering serious consideration. In this struggling economy, it makes a lot of sense, especially if they’re refundable fares.
