2011 NFL Free Agents: The official list of Rams free agents, restricted and unrestricted
The St. Louis Rams have only a handful of free agents from last year's roster. Nobody on that list figures to be in their top tier highly paid group. The NFL released the official list of free agents this afternoon via press release. Here are the official restricted free agents for the Rams and their status along with the unrestricted players.
Restricted free agents with tender level on the right.
Chamberlain, Chris, LB (7th)
Foster, Renardo, OT (ROFR)
Greco, John, OG (3rd)
Vobora, David, LB (7th)
Those are original round tenders. That Greco received a third round tender, to me, suggests that the Rams will be looking closely at him in camp this year, determining his future with the team.
Restricted free agents who did not receive tender offers from the Rams
Quincy Butler, CB
Kenneth Darby, RB
Curtis Johnson, LB
There's always the possibility that these guys could be back, though it's not likely. Butler could if the Rams get hit with injuries and need to bring in a player who knows the system. I felt like Butler was a solid player in the past, for depth, but judging players on the Rams rosters in recent years tends to skew honest evaluation.
Unrestricted free agents
Mark Clayton, WR
Kevin Dockery, CB
Daniel Fells, TE
Gary Gibson, DT
Adam Goldberg, OL
Chris Hovan, DT
Darcy Johnson, TE
Michael Lewis, S
Laurent Robinson, WR
Clifton Ryan, DT
Derek Schouman, TE
Most likely to return from that list are Clayton, Gibson and Goldberg. Of those three, Clayton's the closest to a sure thing. I don't know why, but the Rams are not planning to bring back Ryan. He seemed like a solid player. He was, however, from a previous era, not conducive to a player's longevity under new coaches. Fells and Robinson received RFA tenders when there was a question about whether the league would return to the no-cap rules. There's a good chance Fells comes back to compete for a roster spot. Robinson, I'm not so sure about, given their depth at receiver. Hovan is retired. Good riddance to Darcy Johnson and Dockery. You'd think Michael Lewis would have an advantage in coming back given the situation at safety.
Lots of activity on tap for the next week. Stay tuned to TST and be sure to follow us on Twitter too.

Ravens are gonna release Kelly Gregg
He might be a good plan if we can’t get Cofield. Bug guy who can stuff the run with his 320 body

I said in case
As in “in case the redskins come in and offer Cofield a sh*t load of cash” and he did start all sixteen games for the Ravens, they have a pretty good defense, so I’d think he’d be better than Clifton Ryan and such

Correction!
They have an amazing defense…..with two of the best LB’s in the NFL, and outside of Polomalu, the best safety. Not to mention Hiloti Ngata. I could go on about their CB’s, if necessary. It’s fair to say that defense is NOT the reason they can’t cut it in the playoffs…
….I’d believe that Ol Man Gregg was made a lot better by the situation going on around him. The Ravens are obviously ready to move
….I’m with newbee, pass!
Ok, sorry I suggested it
Thought at the least he would give us some veteran experience

15 games for 2010
13 tackles and 1.5 sacks? Seems his legs are gone, or almost gone. For a 28 year old, those ain’t good numbers.
Camp body?

I havent seen or heard any news on how healed or how his progress has been from his injury
He might not be up to full speed, and in that case Clayton is probably gone
Well yea but he won't be signed as a camp body.
And he sounds excited and good to go from his twitter page.
Onobun > Gates
I've heard he's all healed up
He’s running forties and all across hills
