When Jeff Fisher took the Tennessee Titans to the Super Bowl in 1999, Scott Wells was a Nashville high school player. Wells was a Fisher fan then, and during eight NFL seasons the respect has grown. The new Rams new coach was a big enough draw in free agency that the Pro Bowl center left […]

Now that the Redskins’ trade is official, Les Snead and the St Louis Rams have to reset their draft board, surveying the talent landscape around the sixth pick. And there they have a problem: the draft landscape is littered with guys who are basically replaceable by other talent later in the draft. If Justin Blackmon […]

According to beat reporters Jim Thomas and Howard Balzer, the St Louis Rams stopped parading free agents through their hallways long enough to sign one – center Scott Wells, formerly of the Green Bay Packers. Preliminary reports of terms suggest that the deal is worth up to $25 million over four years, with about half […]

Brandon Lloyd was the biggest trade deadline acquisition of the 2011 NFL season, stepping in and immediately becoming the primary target of the St Louis Rams’ passing game. In eleven games, Lloyd became as prolific a pass-catcher as any player since Torry Holt was patrolling the sidelines. Just six months later, though, the Rams are […]

The Houston Texans surprised many by cutting Eric Winston. The Rams are among three teams immediately in the hunt. Free agency is off to a very fast start across the NFL, with skill players Vincent Jackson, Josh Morgan and Pierre Garcon all finding new homes and Reggie Wayne returning to his old one. So far […]

The St Louis Rams moved quickly and aggressively on the first day of free agency for the second year in a row, reportedly signing Cortland Finnegan to a five year deal worth roughly $50 million. His contract appears to be a deal similar in length and average value to the deal signed by Jonathan Joseph […]

The St Louis Rams prepared for free agency by cutting ties with cap-heavy veterans, including long-time warriors Ron Bartell and James Hall. These are bittersweet times for Rams fans, knowing that these moves are necessary for the process of rebuilding. But as Brennan put it earlier tonight: @BrennanJSmithHappy to see the Rams get draft picks […]

By chance, we came to an agreement that a trade between the Washington Redskins and St Louis Rams appeared to be the most likely deal when setting the table for the ThisGivenSunday Writers mock draft. This gave me, acting as the GM of the Rams, a difficult choice at the sixth pick of the draft. […]

Congratulations to Les Snead and the St Louis Rams. They have just won the Robert Griffin III sweepstakes. The loser? Robert Griffin III. No matter how the deal worked out, Griffin was going to be drafted by a team that didn’t need him (the Rams), or a team that wouldn’t know how to use him […]

Gregg Williams’ “bounty” program in Washington and New Orleans has torn the lid off one of the NFL’s dirty little secrets. Competition brings out the best – and sometimes the worst – in all of us. Whether you’re watching games on the couch, screaming “KILL HIM!” or just silently wishing it, or actually in the […]

I may not look like Les Snead, but I’ve got seven rounds of Rams picks to make just like he does. You know the mock draft season has started in earnest when the Twitter-wide 32-team 7-round mock draft games start. That’s exactly what we’re in for this weekend, thanks to New York Giants (32): Washington […]

Is this the year the St Louis Rams finally get their big man in the middle? With a number of defensive linemen rising in the 2012 NFL Combine, making for an unexpectedly strong class of DTs, signs could be pointing to “yes.” The Rams famously passed on Ndamukong Suh in the 2010 draft in favor […]
