Free agent wide receiver Kenny Britt will visit with the St. Louis Rams on Friday and Saturday, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport. News of the visit trickled out early on Friday afternoon, while the Rams were re-introducing Rodger Saffold.

I mentioned the Kenny Britt visit to the #Rams earlier. It’s set for today and tomorrow, per source. Potential good fit in St. Louis.

Britt, if he signs, would be the latest member of Fisher's old TItans teams to land in St. Louis. That's been a mixed bag for adding talent. In the case of William Hayes, it's worked out well. And then there's Jared Cook and Cortland Finnegan, who haven't worked out quite as well despite the Rams paying a premium for their services.
In all likelihood, Britt would not command a large contract, given his injury history and nine dalliances with the law since coming to the NFL as the Titans' first-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.

The worst part of Britt's game on the field are the dropped ball and apparent lack of concentration. He dropped seven passes in just 305 snaps last year, and had a catch rate of just 33 percent. He dropped seven in 2012, and had a catch rate of just 52.8 percent. Prior to 2011, his catch rate numbers were all above 60 percent ... the Locker effect?
