Not sure how I would feel about this. I absolutely love the commitment to the line, but adding another injury prone player at such a high pay worries me.

I would expect the Rams to get their own medical crew involved. We can't very well have Sam the Ram getting beaten up anymore than necessary. With SJ possibly leaving, Sam officially becomes the bell cow of this offense, although that term isn't usually applied to QB's.

If he's healthy, Long is a huge upgrade on the O-Line.
Then we need to draft Kyle Long, just fucking because.

I would totally be on board with Long, hopefully he had a spat of bad luck with the injuries. He never really had injury problems until the last two season. If we sign him we'd have the first and second overall picks of the 2008 draft.

If he's healthy he's a top 5 LT IMO. Only concern I have is he probably takes all the remaining FA money we have.
I believe it was about $14M to start. Hayes got 3 years $10.5M and from what I've read about $6M of that goes to signing our draft class. I think I read Levitre got $8M per. Is that right? Seems crazy for an OG. If that's the case what is Long going to want? I'm hoping it's more incentive based on games played, etc.
If Saffold does move to RT sure would seem like we're building a very solid line.
If all the FA money is gone though, we would have to have a very solid draft. Or maybe more cuts are still coming?

That would be awesome news it's true. He could really make our offensive line pretty strong especially with Saffold moving to right tackle. I wonder how much money it would take for him to sign.CGI_Ram said:
