Morning Ram-blings: An important offseason
By Nick Wagoner

http://espn.go.com/blog/st-louis-rams/post/_/id/14943/morning-ram-blings-an-important-offseason

EARTH CITY, Mo. -- Barring a major surprise, the St. Louis Rams won't have much turnover this offseason when it comes to their coaching staff or front office. With a third consecutive losing season sealed, that means this will be a critical offseason for coach Jeff Fisher and Co.

The clock is ticking and the Rams are still waiting on their breakthrough year. Because Fisher has two years and many millions remaining on his contract, he'll almost certainly be back next year. So he and his staff have a big task to figure out how to patch the remaining holes on the roster, including the biggest one of all.

Over at SI.com, Joan Niesen dived into the Rams' future and the offseason that awaits.

Obviously, the quarterback position is a primary topic of conversation. Expect plenty more that discussion between now and free agency and the draft.
