No word on how the St. Louis Rams interview with Josh McDaniels went yesterday, as the team takes its first official steps to replace offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur.

Whenever free agency does kick off this year, the biggest name out there will be Nnamdi. Could he return to Oakland before the inevitable bidding war begins?
