I love how Kroenke wasted no time in getting this meeting set up, especially since Miami already interviewed the coach earlier this week. The report is that the two sides met in Denver to avoid the media circus that would have happened here, and I think that was a good move as well. Fisher is more of an old-school kind of guy, and after the Dolphins really made a spectacle of his interview, a more low-key approach might be the right way to go.

I have a feeling that when all is said and done, however, Fisher’s decision is going to come down to which situation he thinks is the best for him. The money is likely going to be similar, and both teams are certainly in need of a fresh start. Fisher wants to win and he wants to be in it for the long haul with whatever franchise he chooses. I still think our ownership and the pieces we have in place are better than anything he will find in Miami, but I guess we will find out when Fisher combs his mustache, slicks back his hair and steps in front of the camera with his new owner. Let’s hope that guy standing next to him is Stan.

Next, the ever-developing OJ Atogwe saga took a new turn today, as apparently the demand for the safety isn’t nearly as high as expected. According to Fanhouse, the Cowboys, Lions, 49ers, Eagles, Jets, and the Vikings are all less than interested in his services. The article goes on to say that the Rams are the favorites right now, and the Dolphins are possibly the only other team interested. This is very good news, and it would be great if we could get him back at a reduced price. I will be watching the situation closely, but things are looking up right now. Finally, the team made a personnel move today by signing former Pro Bowl DT La’Roi Glover to be their new Director of Player Programs. The job consists of working with rookies and helping with their transition to the NFL, and Glover looks like the perfect man for the job. He has been there, been successful, and he knows how to handle himself. The transition from poor college student to multi-millionaire can be a daunting one, so it will be beneficial to have someone there to help the transition.

Now for a bit of an update on a previous post, it seems that potential owner Stan Kroenke might have solved his cross-ownership problem. Reports have surfaced that Kroenke plans to transfer his Denver franchises to a family member in order to purchase full ownership in our beloved Rams. This isn’t a sure thing yet, but it looks like the league will allow this move, thus opening the door for Kroenke here in the NFL. I can’t say I’m overly shocked that Kroenke had a plan, because a man as smart as he is wouldn’t have exercised him right of refusal without knowing the rules and understanding how to get around them. I plan on focusing entirely on he draft this coming week, but I will definitely keep tabs on the ownership situation. That’s it for me today, so have a good Sunday and remember to come back this week for all the draft coverage.
