It's getting weirder and weirder to talk about free agents when you don't actually know whether or not there will be free agency, but the topic is out there and demands some talk. The St. Louis Rams have plenty of needs to fill. Filling those gaps through the draft is ideal in some circumstance, depending on the talent available. Finding free agents and veterans to round out the list is just as important.
One former Rams who could be allowed to walk from his current team is Miami Dolphins guard Richie Incognito, according to Adam Caplan at Fox. I sincerely doubt the Rams would take a chance on Richie again were he to hit the wires. Still, it makes you wonder if the offense might not have been able to scratch out a few more yards and a few more points last year with a better run blocker in there.
That same report points out that the Jets have three safeties scheduled for free agency, the most notable being Brodey Pool. From 2007-2009 he had 9 INTs with the Browns. With the Jets last year he was a solid starter. Whether or not he stays or goes remains to be seen, but he could be the kind of player that could fill a need with the Rams.
