Although the St. Louis Rams are supposedly interested in Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Mark Sanchez, the feeling isn't mutual.  Sanchez reportedly has no interest in being traded to St. Louis and wants to remain a backup in coach Chip Kelly's system, where he's so far thrived.

Sam Bradford tore his left re-tore his ACL Saturday night against the Cleveland browns, meaning the quarterback will be forced to undergo season-ending knee surgery for the second time in less than a year.  Rams coach Jeff Fisher expressed confidence in veteran backup Shaun Hill, but he also didn't rule out picking up the phones to find a trade.

One call might be to Philadelphia.  Ian Rapoport of NFL.com pointed to the connection between Sanchez and St. Louis: Rams offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer was once Sanchez's longtime play caller with the New York Jets.

Sanchez, though, reportedly wants nothing to do with the Rams.

"...If Sanchez has anything to say about it, there's 'no chance' he'd abandon his fresh start as a backup under coach Chip Kelly with the Philadelphia Eagles for a shot to rejoin Schottenheimer and play in St. Louis, a person with knowledge of Sanchez's thinking told USA Today Sports on Sunday," Tom Pelissero of USA Today wrote Monday morning.  "The person spoke on condition of anonymity because any trade talks were to remain private."

Granted it's only preseason, Sanchez has looked much improved under Kelly.  The 27-year-old has cut down on turnovers while completing 25 of 31 passes for 281 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Other options for St. Louis include Washington Redskins backup Kirk Cousins and New England Patriots backup Ryan Mallet.

Bradford's second ACL tear likely marks the end of his tenure with the Rams, who're likely to release the injury-prone signal caller in the offseason to avoid paying him $12.9 million next year.
