ESPN has reported that the Denver Broncos have hired Josh McDaniels, the New England Patriots offensive coordinator. This is not good news for the St. Louis Rams. You would think that McDaniels would have been one of the top candidates for the Rams position. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that  Josh McDaniels never made it to St. Louis on Friday for his head coaching interview because he was tied up with a second interview with the Broncos. The Rams need to treat these things seriously. Teams are hiring coaches faster than the Rams can even set up interviews. With the [...]

It is no surprise that Jeremy Maclin announced that he will enter the 2009 NFL Draft. Jeremy Maclin is sure to get a multi-million dollar contract if you listen to the experts. Scouts Inc.’s Top 32 has Jeremy Maclin listed as their 14th best prospect. In addition most 2009 NFL Mock Drafts have him going in the 1st round for sure.  With Mizzou losing a lot of talent before next year including Heisman hopeful QB Chase Daniel, and Maclin’s family needing him this is a solid move for Jeremy. We wish him luck and hope he is drafted early by [...]

Below you will see the 2009 NFL free agent lists by team. This list is sorted by Ranking and provided by Scout.com. Until the St. Louis Rams select a coach for the season we really do not know what players they may be looking at.

The 2009 NFL Draft Order has been set for all of the teams that missed the 2008 NFL Playoffs. The St. Louis Rams locked up the #2 pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. First the Rams will need to hire a new head coach, evaluate current players and decide which of their free agents they need to resign, and sign other teams free agents as well. After all of that they will be ready for the 2009 NFL draft. However as fans we are already focused on the draft and everyone is already analyzing those players. Please note teams ranked [...]
