ST. LOUIS (AP) - Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Gus Frerotte signed a three-year contract with the St. Louis Rams on Friday.

Frerotte played under new Rams coach Scott Linehan at Miami last season and in Minnesota the two previous seasons.

Frerotte guided Miami to a 9-7 season last year but was released earlier this week when the Dolphins traded for Daunte Culpepper. Frerotte backed up Culpepper in Minnesota.

The Rams will be the seventh NFL team for the 13-year veteran.
