He's one of a number of candidates. Somehow I don't think he's gonna leave without a signature on the proverbial dotted line.

What was ever the results of his last physical with the Lions? I keep reading he had one on the 8th, but never hear the results or anything of it. Someone tweet Thomas or Softli to get them on this plz. :|

I understand the connection and all. Can someone who has actually watched this guy play explain the upside? Like Username, I would also like to know if anyone knows his physical fitness.

Delmas > Craig Dahl. Duh.

I like Delmas, even though he's kind of a dick. His attitude and "chippiness" is pretty much exactly what this defense is looking for. Might be a few extra flags next year, but he could be a good fit, IMO. And seriously, why would any of us bemoan the signing of a different safety - or ANY safety - at this point?

He's a fucking beast when healthy no doubt. He's a leader too. Players were calling him the heart of the defense. Problem is obviously, he hasn't been healthy.

Delmas is a difference maker when he's healthy. I'd love to have him on the Rams.

And the tooth issue, he had an infected tooth/jaw. I had just experienced this last week and I gotta say, worst pain I ever felt in my life. I don't blame him for missing a game due to that.

I pretty much love Louis Delmas. If we sign him and he can stay healthy for a while, damn, should be one hell of a pick up. His style will fit in nicely with this defense. :p

Delmas and Finnigan in the same backfield. The game within the game.
Worth the price of the tickets alone.

I know i am dreaming hardcore here but, what if, we managed to get Vacarro at 16 and Austin at 22 we would be deadly. Hell freezes over before Vacarro drops to 16 though... :neh:

I just see a team wanting him before we pick, where are you projecting him man? i was thinking 8-14.

15-20 range.

I don't really see him the way everyone else does though. I like Matt Elam better in fact so idk. I think there's a chance Kenny V could make it to 16 for sure.

Uhhhh...no thanks. Looks bad. Its definately a red flag.

We dont need an uber- talented guy who is fragile. If this was baseball FA then sure :yawn:
....but this is FOOTBALL. You've got to be able to show up and finish in the NFL.

Lesser talented guys who are durable have made themselves nice careers being role players who can be counted on each and every week. > Gibson.

F these guys who don't have the physical and/or mental fortitude it takes to go out there and compete at a pro level and come back the next week. You get banged up often? Your body doesn't heal fast? ....but you've got talent oozing out of your left ear? Pack your bags.

I have faith that Long and Delmas can come to the Rams and stay healthy.
