With the St. Louis Rams still working on trying to sign free agent Ron Bartell it looks like plan B may be in motion. NFL.com has reported that New York Giants free agent Safety James Butler is coming to St. Louis to visit with new Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo. At 6-3 and 215 pounds this could be one of the hammers the Rams need in the center of the field to take care of business. It looks like Spagnuolo is serious about making the Rams bigger and more physical in 2009. Giants free-agent safety James Butler is visiting the Rams. [...]

Well not yet, however…as sick as it makes me, there are reports that free agent Kurt Warner could possibly sign with the hated San Francisco 49ers.  These reports are coming from ESPN and the San Francisco PressDemocrat.com. The PressDemocrat has these comments: The 49ers have a “legitimate shot” to land veteran free-agent quarterback Kurt Warner, who led the Arizona Cardinals to the Super Bowl this season, a league source said. A second source with knowledge of the situation said there have been no serious contract discussions. No visit has been scheduled that would bring together 49ers representatives and Warner. One source said [...]

The St. Louis Rams have signed Baltimore Ravens free agent center Jason Brown to a five year deal. This makes the second round of the upcoming 2009 NFL Draft very interesting for the Rams. I thought a great pick would be Center Max Unger from Oregon or Alex Mack from California, now the Rams will turn in a new direction. Hopefully Jason Brown will produce more than the Rams big free agent pick up Jacob Bell did in 2008. Steve Spagnuolo has said that he would like to see the Rams get larger along both lines. Jason Brown is a [...]

Well the clock struck midnight on Thursday February 26th and the meat market; I mean 2009 NFL free agency period had begun. With hundreds of hot prospects out there who do you want, and can you afford them? They all come with a lot of risks and possible baggage. Why would they leave their current luxurious homes to come to ours? Can we possibly bargain for a lower price or at least negotiate a longer term deal? Which agent would you like to see the St. Louis Rams pick up?

So when I say “He’s Just Not That Into You” I Stlvinnie am once again saying I want the St. Louis Rams to stay away from Andre Smith in the 2009 NFL Draft. I don’t believe the Rams can take the chance on someone like Andre Smith. The Rams have to hit thier mark with the #2 pick overall. Chris Long was considered a safe choice last year and he stepped right in and started 16 games, had 40 tackles including 4 sacks. I look for Chris to take a big step forward in 2009. Andre Smith makes me think [...]

Fourteen teams have placed their franchise tags. The St. Louis Rams who cut Corey Chavous a week ago have used their franchise tag on Free Safety Oshiomogho Atogwe. With Atogwe in the fold and Todd Johnson able to play Strong Safety, the Rams will now set their sites in trying to sign Cornerback Ron Bartell. The Rams who are in desparate need of upgrading their linebacker core have seen 3 top linebackers in Karlos Dansby, Terrell Suggs, and Leroy Hill already tagged. The free agent period should be very interesting. Definition of franchise Tag: 1. A designation given to a [...]

The St. Louis Rams 2009 NFL Draft will heavily depend on the 2009 NFL Free agent period which will begin on February 27th. The current list of St. Louis Rams Free agents is below. Who do you think the Rams should hold on to? The Rams placed their franchise tag on Oshiomogho Atogwe this past week. Atogwe will make 6.34 million in 2009, while the Rams are trying to sign him to a long term deal. With Steve Spagnolo and the Rams new coaching staff in place I look for most of these players to be let go. Other than [...]
