Michael Silver of Yahoo! Sports reports that the Rams will be cutting the cord on quarterback Gus Frerotte.  He had been serving as the backup to Marc Bulger.

Coach Scott Linehan told Frerotte on Wednesday of the team’s intent.  Frerotte had been due to receive a $500,000 roster bonus.

Frerotte and Linehan had been linked for several seasons, during mutual stints in Minnesota, Miami, and finally in St. Louis.

Since joining the Redskins in 1993 as a low-round draft pick who ultimately beat out golden boy Heath Shuler, Frerotte has played for a total of seven teams.  He has thrown for 19,134 yards, 102 touchdowns, and 91 interceptions in generating a passer rating of 74.3.
