QUARTERBACK: The announcement due today that quarterback Jim Everett will remain with the Rams wasn’t unexpected. . . . All season, Everett privately promised that his contract would be settled well before the Feb. 1 deadline. Negotiations started back in August when Everett’s agent, Marvin Demoff, accompanied the team to Tokyo for an exhibition game. . . . Demoff and Rams Vice President John Shaw are said to have a close working relationship.
