Random Ramsdom: Former quarterback for the franchise retires, becomes NFL coach

Sean Mannion was once upon a time drafted by the then St. Louis Rams. Mannion would become part of the Los Angeles Rams after the franchise moved locations. More recently he was suiting up for the Minnesota Vikings and signing with the Seattle Seahawks. The former NFL QB has now decided to call it a career, but reportedly he is not leaving the NFL entirely. Mannion will become part of the Green Bay Packer’s coaching staff.It will be interesting to see how his career develops now that he is among the coaching ranks. I wish Mannion well unless he is taking on the Rams. This news about Mannion is a couple days old, and I hadn’t had a chance to share the development. It may be the offseason for the Rams, but there’s still plenty to talk about! Please comment on whatever you’d like and have a great Tuesday!

“Mannion, per Henderson, has accepted a position on the Packers’ coaching staff working with the quarterbacks and the passing game. Mannion’s official title is unclear.

The Seahawks signed Mannion to their practice squad Dec. 8, but he did not see any game action. He previously was on Seattle’s practice squad in 2022 and with the team in training camp in 2021.

Mannion, a third-round pick of the Rams in 2015, appeared in 14 games in his career with three starts. His most recent start came in 2021 for the Vikings.

In nine seasons, Mannion spent time with the Rams, Vikings and Seahawks.”
