Sean Smith is the only one I see that is not available anymore. Who on that list would you like the rams to sign?

I liked Smith. I think he is better than JJ. Too bad

Next Casey Hayward or Patrick Robertson. It really depends on if the Rams think they can find a corner in the draft and if they know wether or not Gaines will be healthy, which I think is a big question.

Maybe Tahir Whitehead for LB depth since the Rams cut one. He plays all 3 spots and ST.

 

[RamsJunkie]

Id be ok with Hayward. Give me Boldin, Weddle, Wisnewiski and mabye Gresham to replace Harkey and Id feel a lot better

 

[Ram65]

Not much there.

24. Brandon Boykin -- Underappreciated 25-year-old slot CB. Market quiet so far.

He is a slot CB only. Similiar size and skill to LaMarcus Joyner. If Rams moved Joyner to FS Boykin would be a nice replacement covering the slot. I doubt it happens but, you never know.

14. Chris Long -- Injuries have limited Long to three sacks over his last 16 games.

If Chris doesn't find a good deal I would bring him back. I think he gets closed to Hayes' money in the open market though.

6. Eric Weddle -- Turned 31 in January. Market has been surprisingly quiet so far.

If he were a couple years younger or the Rams were closer to a Super Bowl. The money isn't worth it with his age and where the Rams are at right now.

 

[StealYoGurley]

If fairley isn't getting the starters money he is looking for. I would definitely consider bringing him back. He was key to our d-line rotation last year.

 

[The Rammer]

I'd take Ryan Fitz to run our offense. He doesn't have to be spectacular just efficient like he is.

 

[RamsJunkie]

:shooting:

 

[HitStick]

Update: Sanu has signed with Atlanta

 

[DaveFan'51]

I'll take Numbers 14 and 35!!!!

 

[fearsomefour]

Fairley and Whitehead.
Whitehead may have resigned in Detroit though, I am not sure.
Stephen Tullock for MLB depth and incase Ogletree struggles. I think the Rams like the young guys they have at LB now.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

If fairley isn't getting the starters money he is looking for. I would definitely consider bringing him back. He was key to our d-line rotation last year.

I absolutely agree. Fairley played well once he settled in. I want him back.

Update: Sanu has signed with Atlanta

This guy gets a bad rap IMO. He is a tough physical receiver. I would have liked him on the Rams. He blocks and fights for yards.

I'll take Numbers 14 and 35!!!!

What is this? A Chinese menu?
