Rams cut Mike Reilly

The St. Louis Rams have a few less decisions to make come August having announced three cuts to the roster today. Hitting the street are: QB Mike Reilly, WR Travis Brown and CB Marcus Brown. 

The most interesting cut is Mike Reilly. Like last year's sixth round pick, QB Keith Null, Reilly was a small school standout who put up some impressive numbers at Central Washington. He was undrafted last year, though some thought he could have been an mid-round pick, before signing with the Steelers, then bouncing over to the Packers before finding a home on the Rams' practice squad in December. 

Reilly had plenty of folks who talked up his potential, and he could find a home somewhere else. 

The Rams had no use for a developmental project at QB, having just drafted Sam Bradford with the first pick in the draft and Keith Null still being a work-in-progress himself.

A friend forwarded this message to me from Habte E

Here’s how it is.
Old man Knoxfan may be down for now, but when the Rams start kicking ASS this year, he will spit in the eye of the reaper and go down fighting. And I’ll be helping him. Thanks all TST fans, you’re his spirit and light.

Good cuts - ALL

Now get us a new quality DT and OLB! And, nobody jumped on Bulger. Offer him $1M to play backup, then cut Feeley or Null or both.

Here ya go!

Originally, Jackson hoped that rest and rehab would help the back heal. But when the back didn’t respond, he opted for surgery, which took place in California less than a month ago. The surgery removed the herniated piece of the disc.

The prognosis is good, and it’s believed the surgery won’t hamper his NFL career or his longevity. But back injuries are tricky, and there are obviously no guarantees.

Jackson has been at Rams Park this week doing rehab work on his back but did not respond to a text message seeking comment. One of Jackson’s agents declined to comment, referring all questions on the matter to the Rams.

haven't heard anything

He left without a contract offer, and has been “mulling his options over” ever since.

He's probably hoping someone else

will make him an offer so he can avoid playing on artificial turf the majority of the games. Unless someone cuts a good RB it looks like we will be trying to make a go of it with Darby and Obi behind Jackson. Not good.

What do you think about marshawn lynch at the right price?

Or maybe wait for the redskins to cut one of their RBs cuz we know they can’t keep all three of them by the time the season comes around

Lynch has been pretty clear

in saying he only wants to be a starter. That obviously wouldn’t happen here unless SJ can’t go.

Thanks

He's still on the Bills

but speculation is that he’d be available in trade, since they also have Fred Jackson and now CJ Spiller on that team. Only so many guys can get their 10-15 carries.

Reports say that they don’t want to just give him away for a 5th or 6th round pick. He’d be a great backup.

Now you got me thinking about Lynch be nice if we could get a RB like that or

maybe we can trade Avery to Detroit for Best lol even swap since Linehan love Avery so much ha ha ha
