With Todd Collins re-signing with the Washington Redskins, Trent Green looks like the next option for the Rams as Marc Bulger's backup at quarterback.

Even before Collins re-upped with Washington, league sources said the Rams planned to bring in Green — a Vianney High product —for a visit next week.

Green's St. Louis-based agent, Jim Steiner, confirmed Friday that he is indeed talking with the Rams, and that a visit is possible next week. Green played for the Rams in 2000 after missing the 1999 season because of a knee injury, which paved the way for Kurt Warner to shine in his place.

Steiner said several other teams also have expressed interest. Steiner also represents Cincinnati defensive end Justin Smith — the former University of Missouri star.

The Rams have not expressed interest in him. Smith visited San Francisco on Friday, the first day of the free agency period, but left without a contract.
