The Rams have released Brad Smelley and signed Justice Cunningham, another TE. Good-bye Smelley and all of your Smelley jokes.....I am glad we no longer have to endure that.

Tight end Justice Cunningham, who by virtue of being the last player taken in the 2013 NFL draft was Mr. Irrelevant, was signed to the Rams’ practice squad. Cunningham replaced tight end Brad Smelley, who was with the Rams for only one day.
It was tough news obviously for Smelley, but the Rams liked Cunningham entering the draft so they moved quickly to sign him once he became available.
“I know during the draft, they showed the most interest of everybody,” Cunningham said after his first Rams practice Thursday.
The Rams didn’t have a pick after the fifth round after trading up for Stacy. Cunningham was taken in the seventh round, No. 254 overall, by Indianapolis. Cunningham had spent this season on the Colts’ practice squad but was promoted to their active roster last week and played fullback against Arizona in place of the injured Stanley Havili. He caught one pass for 4 yards.
Cunningham, 6 feet 3, 258 pounds, was released at the start of this week. The Colts wanted to re-sign him to their practice squad. But on the advice of his agent, he signed with the Rams, thinking it would be a better opportunity.
Cunningham didn’t arrive in St. Louis until 10 p.m. Wednesday, and he was hoping to hook up with fellow University of South Carolina product Jared Cook to have Thanksgiving dinner.
