Miller Joins LA Rams

Quarterback Chris Miller, best known for his passing accuracy and a susceptibility to injury, has signed a three-year, $9-million contract to play for the Los Angeles Rams, the team he idolized while growing up in nearby Claremont.


"I know I will help the Rams a bunch," said Miller, who will need one to three months of further rehabilitation on his surgically repaired left knee.


"I've had some bad luck injury-wise, but my knee feels great. I've been running and it's only March and I have the time to get it stronger."


The Rams gave Miller a $900,000 signing bonus with yearly salaries of $2.1 million, $2.7 million and $3.3 million. The Rams maintained a first right of refusal on Miller, who earned $1.85 million with the Atlanta Falcons last year, once his contract expires in 1996.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
