Seeing no check next to McLeod makes me want to cry. He was easily my favorite in the secondary.

Not exciting, but a good move nonetheless. He provides continuity, something our young OL desperately needs.

good signing,

For all the wailing that was going on in the hours before free agency began, the Rams have kept most of their key players they really wanted. We all figured JJ was gone after that tweet he sent anyway.

Now hopefully the Rams can use some of their cap to sign somebody to help the offense.

Like Brian Quick?

My least favorite signing so far.

Tim Barnes' deal w/Rams: 2 years, $5.5 million, w/$3.25 million guaranteed. Contract can max out to $9 million.

Wasn't Barnes like the 30th rated center in the NFL or something?

I'd like to see stats one this.

Kinda misleading. He improved significantly over the latter half of the season and the Rams had some issues on the interior line early on.

I'm not sure but thought he was not rated well. Wonder if they looked at Mack and grabbed Barnes when Atlanta got Mack.

According to who? PFF? Couldn't care less.

Barnes did solid last year, and like Mcleod will only get better imo. Some guys you've just got to give a chance and tough it out through the rough patches imo.

I feel the same way about our centers as I do about our wr's(besides Austin).Lackluster. Some solid moments but nothing above average.

Yes, but you'd have to admit, if he started, there would be a lot of Kush jersey's sold in L.A.

I still want Wisniewski, Barnes is a fine backup but thats it.
