Questions for Kevin Demoff

by Ryan Van Bibber on Nov 12, 2009 1:55 PM CST in 2009 St. Louis Rams regular season

Tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. CST, St. Louis Rams VP of Football Operations and COO Kevin Demoff will take part in a live chat with fans on the Rams official web site. Some questions you might pose to the team's contract guy:

Are there plans to negotiate a new contract with O.J. Atogwe?
Is Alex Barron in the plans for next season? If so, will you use his RFA status to retain him?
If the league is without a cap next season, how will that directly impact the Rams?
Will you re-sign Leonard Little?
How active does the team plan to be on the free agent market?

Others?

Be sure to head over there for the chat. It should be pretty informative, and it also gives the Rams incentive to do more direct, new media outreach with their fan base.

just my humble opinion, but...

…I think Bulger, Boller, Barron, Little, Hall, Carriker and probably Otogwe will be gone from the Rams next season.

That's a lot of guys to turnover

Hall and Little, clearly our best DE’s, will have a combined age of 68 when next season starts. Its hard to imagine the Rams signing them up. You would hope there some kind of move made in this spot in the offseason, and not just draftees.

I have a feeling they won’t release both QB1 and QB2 unless they sign a veteran to be the clear-cut QB1.

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember Is thinking, I want to be like them

If my memory serves me correctly, Boller is under a one year contract.

Bulger will probably either be resigned (to a lower contract) or cut. I’d expect them to keep one or two of Little Hall and Carriker, with Carriker and Hall being the most probable…Carriker is young, and if the coaching staff likes what they saw, he might have an opportunity to stick around.

As far as Otogwe goes, he hasn’t done much this year, but that doesn’t mean he won’t for the rest of the season. I’m thinking it’s a sit back and wait approach with him.

I believe in 2010

I can see Carricker if he has shown them something to work with

You can’t have holes everywhere, right? Can’t let the whole team walk out the door.
I could maybe see Hall getting a 1 yr offer…….meh, no I don’t really.
Little is 35 years old right now, I highly doubt he’s going to be back next year.

i think

Bulger should stay if he takes a new contract because he is a solid back up and will have a year under the new system. But if he asks for a contract like he’s currently in i think he and his agent should go to a mental hospital. If Bulger accepts another teams offer i think the rams will pick up Campbell dont like the guy but i think out of the other free agents projected so far he’s probably the best option. I want to see Null play not expecting the world but id really like to see what he can do. OJ should be kept i dont want to see him go i know he’s had a rough year but he’s still a solid player and if he’s let go that’s just another position to fill. I think if the pass rush is worked on it’ll benefit everyone including OJ.

Bulger's under contract for like the next 4 seasons.

He’s be stupid (and his agent would never work again) if he renogiated a cheaper deal. Why would he do that?

Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

Agreed, thats not happening here.

Although it has before, in some very rare cases where an aged vet agreed to restructure a deal in order to both stay on and allow the team to reallocate funds to another spot, but that’s very rare and is probably out of the question in this instance.
