People are freaking out about this signing, do you think anyone in our front office thinks AJ Feely is going to be our starter in 2010, come on people. Thinking we are going to be able to trade out of the 1st pick is delusional. I have faith in Spags and Devaney, how many free agents in this class do you think want to sign with a 1-15 team. There will be more movement on the free agency front, I feel after the draft especially in an uncapped year. The Rams should draft Clausen first and see how the draft shakes out from there. I have been waiting for the media to realize Clausen is the better QB but the only one who realizes it is Kiper (usually the most reliable anyway). All I and other Rams fans can hope for is that we don’t allow the Clausen to fall to Seattle at 6.

Jimmy Clausen is the next Jeff George. He has all the physical ability in the world but the brain of a high schooler.

What basis do you have for that statement? by all accounts he was just as impressive as Bradford in diagnosing coverages and in the private interviews at the combine.

when other teams are signing all the good free agents. Seattle is interviewing Kampman, the Bears signed Peppers and Chester Taylor, the Jets traded for Cromartie, Dansby is apparently going to sign with Miami, Who is left that could really help the Rams? What is the point of freeing up all this money if we aren’t going to spend any of it?

I had real hopes that the Rams would make a couple of important pickups in free agency to go along with our draft picks. Now it looks like they are trying to impress the new owner by showing him how low they can hold the payroll. I’m not asking for them to spend like Daniel Snyder, but do something that helps the team.

I think we should bring Spoon back. We have a glaring need for a weak side linebacker and locker room leadership!

Do any of you realize just how hard it is to get your money’s worth out of some of these big time free agents? Once these guys get their big money free agent deals they disappear on their new team’s roster (either by not playing up to their contract or by constantly showing up on IR). Look at the Redskins, who yearly sign the biggest free agents on the market to big money deals. How many playoffs have they been to in the last 10 years? Zero. Our team’s example of this is Marc Bulger. Has he lived up to his big-time deal? NO. Its not all about signing the best player, this offseason should be mainly about shoring up team depth. Let the Bears, Cowboys, and Redskins overspend on talent.

Redskins were in the playoffs in 2000 and 2006 winning two and losing two.

Rams fans had to be patient all through the 90’s and finally Kurt Warner comes out of no where and gives us a couple of good seasons followed by a couple by Bulger. Since 1990 the Rams have had 4 winning seasons and now you want me to be more patient. How much can you expect fans to endure? The Patriots were terrible in the early 90’s and yet now every year they are putting together playoff caliber teams. Dallas was 1-15 in 1989 and then starting winning super bowls by 1993. The Colts were 313 in 1998 only to go 13-3 in 1999. The Rams haven’t had a winning season since 2003. We’re going on 7 years now of pathetic drafting,terrible free agency,and we’ve been told to be patient and wait because our team is turning it around. Well years later I’m out of patience. A Super Bowl win in 2000 and 3 playoff apearences in 20 years doesn’t cut it. It’s time to pay back your loyal fans by at least attempting to get us some quality players that can turn this train wreck into a winning team once again. Once this is done maybe we can actually learn how to keep the team competitive for years to come. All I see now is good teams getting better while we pick up a scrub and then close the check book. Even the Lions made some improvements today!! Now I know this all sounds really negative but trust me I am and always will be a die hard Rams fan. The fustration of being the laughing stock of the NFL for so many years and now in a year I think we might actually attempt to grab a good free agent or two the Rams once again show their commitment to staying a subpar team and pocket as much cash as possible.

last year, and we might release a lot more depending on what happens with Bulger and Atogwe. The first pick will get lots of money, but not that much of it is annual salary. Even after we pay all the new draft choices we have $20 million or more of salary available that we aren’t using. Why not spend some of it to get a really good free agent or two? Do we win something by having the lowest payroll?

I agree the rams are terrible and im sick of it. But the rams aren’t terrible because they dont spend money in free agency. They suck because of many years of probably the worst drafting in the leage. Now that we have a new front office we have to give them some time and hopefully we will start drafting better. Signing one or two big money players isn’t going to magically turn us in to a winning football team. With so many holes to fill I think its best to be patient this year and spread your money out through many good players. But if we start drafting good thats the key. If you look at the better teams in the league their nucleous is from the draft.

and I’m not asking for the Rams to dump all their cash into the free agent pool, but I thought it would be nice to see the Rams grab at least someone in free agency with a history of being a game changer. The Feeley signing was like a slap to the face. There is a reason he has been a career back up. It seems like the Rams are willing to settle for a bunch of bottom level talent rather than being agressive and trying to get a couple cream of the crop type players. Filling the team up with a bunch of medium (at best) grade players does nothing but keep the fans from the enjoyment of a winning/playoff season for even more years to come. So say what you want about waiting until it’s all said and done, but I for one am getting impatient waiting for the Rams to take action. I was hoping this year the Rams would actually try to upgrade a position rather than try to find a bunch of back ups for players that shouldn’t be NFL starters anyway. But as the clock keeps ticking all we can do is hope that some time soon they will sign someone that will be an upgrade and help us get out of the basement of the NFL

Free agency just started and theres still a lot of good players left. We signd jay feely to be a backup so i dont see why thats a problem. I’m with you though they need to sign some good players. Anquan boldin would have been real nice. Most of the other guys that signed i dont think they really fit our drastic needs.

For one OJ isnt going anywhere. Im not 100 percent sure how this tendering thing works. But we owed him a lot of money next year so we tendered him and the lowest tender. we will have the option of matching any offer another team offers him. Theyre not gonna let him go thayre just trying to save some money. Enough about the feely thing. They signed him because they want a veteran to help groom a young quaterback. Hell be our second or third qb.

I would have rather seen someone that has had more starts under his belt. He was just never really that good. Maybe hes a student of the game or something i dont know about

I hope they draft bradford and drop boller and bulger because they are both worthless. So we would have bradford 1 null 2 and feely3.

If we draft bradford like i think we will I think we need to let barron go and upgrade at that position to protect the young qb

I agree with you on the bulger thing hes washed up here but maybe all he needs is a change of scenery. It deffinitely isnt all his fault he sucked so bad nobody could play with that line. I think hes done here though There is absolutely no way in hell jay felly starts over bradford at any point in the season

someone talk to me please
