The St. Louis Rams will welcome back oft-injured quarterback Sam Bradford in 2015. At a reduced rate. And with the premise that he'll have to win the starting job against somebody not currently on the roster.

Bradford says he doesn't mind the competition but literally does not know whether he is willing to give the Rams a discount.

Profootballtalk.nbcsports.com reported on a tweet from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, indicating that the Rams want Bradford to compete with a player "not in the building now." That excludes Shaun Hill and Austin Davis, both of whom had starts this past season.

Meanwhile, the Rams have Bradford's base salary to consider next season. ESPN reported that Bradford, who has completed only two of his five seasons with the Rams and missed all of 2014 with a second torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in as many seasons, is scheduled to make $12.985 million in 2015.

He won't be back without a pay cut, coach Jeff Fisher hinted to ESPN.

"Sam and I have talked off and on throughout since the injury," Fisher said. "We're going to be getting together here soon. He's very excited about the opportunity to come back and compete for a spot here. We have some work to do obviously from a contractual standpoint that I'm confident we'll sort some things out.

"I think it would make sense that both sides need to get together and work something out."

That part makes sense. No one knows Bradford better than the Rams, who have five years invested in him and likely would still give him more money than any other team that has little knowledge of Bradford outside of his injury-prone career.

Interestingly, Bradford said it wasn't up to him whether he would take a pay cut.

"Obviously there's a lot of things that can happen," Bradford said. "I'm not really involved in that process. That's why I've got an agent."

But if he does come back to the Rams, Bradford said he would welcome competition.

"If I'm here, that's what I would expect," Bradford said. "But we haven't had really any talks about the future and what's going to happen so until that progresses, I really don't know."
