Still struggling with the acceptance phase of the St. Louis Rams decision to release FS Oshiomogho Atogwe? Here's a little something to drive the point home ... Atogwe is visiting Washington today, the first stop on his free agent tour. The Bills are said to be interested too. Another team expected to have interest is the Dallas Cowboys. Hell, half the teams in the league could have an interest in a safety like Atogwe.  ... Speaking of safeties on Twitter though, Buffalo S Donte Whitner is

We knew the St. Louis Rams had an interest in re-signing impending free agent Mark Clayton. Now, it's official. Today's Post-Dispatch features a report from the Rams front office as well as Clayton's agent stating that the contract talks have started between the two sides.  ... Don't expect anything to happen immediately though. Kevin Demoff, the Rams VP for football operations and contract guru, said that Clayton is someone they'd like to extend before the league falls apart on March 4.

My expectations for any Cardinals team in the compete-every-year era can be divided among three recent vintages—the 2008 squad that kind-of-competes and could sneak into a division title; the 2001 squad that will compete in any given year and probably make the playoffs; and the 2005 squad, which makes me swoon, a little.  ... All these teams, usefully enough, had multiple all-star-caliber performances; if you look at the top of their WAR graphs you'll see, at least, a familial

Franchise Exchange: Vikings place tag on Greenway

It appears the Vikings won't be using the franchise tag on Sidney Rice (or the transition tag either) after all, as they decided to franchise LB Chad Greenway instead, as Jason La Canfora reports. Both players were talked about here at TST, as they were free agent options for some of the softer positions the Rams have ... I'm no draft expert, but it seems like finding a suitable 4-3 OLB starter in this draft will be a bit tougher then finding a WR who can join the huge rotation the Rams

Sanders visiting Jacksonville, safety market heats up

As we've said before, all is not lost for the St. Louis Rams at the safety position. Not wanting to pay O. J. Atogwe a total of $11 million+ in 2011 makes sense for the team. Finding a replacement at a substantially lower cost is a distinct possibility. Though I'd have way more faith in that if there was some certainty that the NFL free agency period was actually going to happen.  ... Since his release last week, we've mentioned former Colts S Bob Sanders. There are even "reports" that the Rams

  Brian Galliford's final pre-combine effort throws Aldon Smith at the Rams with Cameron Jordan (DE-Cal), J.J. Watt (DE-Wisconsin), Ryan Kerrigan (DE-Purdue), Stephen Paea (DT-Oregon St.) and Corey Liuget (DT-Illinois) still on the board ...   Smith was the subject of recent scouting reports from Mocking the Draft and from the Shutdown Corner, courtesy of Doug Farrar who joined us on Turf Show Radio, Saturday.  Obviously with the stock shifter that is the combine looming, there's plenty of

Teams coming off a 7-9 season, one preceded by six wins over the last three seasons, ready to breakout can't just start creating more holes in the roster. Not unless they have a clear idea about how to fill it. That's the big question now for the St. Louis Rams after releasing FS Oshiomogho Atogwe on Friday.  ... Atogwe is scheduled to visit with the Washington Redskins today. And why wouldn't he? As VT mentioned earlier, Washington defensive coordinator Jim Haslett held the same job with the

The Rise of Rasmus

During the disappointing 2010 season, one of the bright spots for the St. Louis Cardinals was the breakout performance of the much-ballyhooed centerfielder of the future, Colby Rasmus. Largely thanks to his offensive emergence, Rasmus moved to the head of the MLB centerfield class, even being considered this week as one of three finalists for centerfielder of the next decade by Rob Neyer. *  Given the skill Rasmus has displayed with the glove and the bat throughout his professional career and
