Rams shopping Pace & Holt

So for now, Orlando Pace and Torry Holt remain Rams. But league sources are convinced that the team is shopping both players as trade bait. Perhaps the Rams' thinking is that once the early buying spree calms down, there will be a market for Pace and Holt -- even if it's a middle- to late-round pick. The club has been extremely tight-lipped on the futures of the two veterans, who have spent their entire NFL careers in St. Louis. Then again, the Rams haven't come close to saying that Pace or Holt fit in the team's plans, either, for 2009.

Ten days ago at the NFL scouting combine, coach Steve Spagnuolo said only that the Rams would do what's best for the team with regard to those two players. On Friday, Devaney said he didn't know what would happen with Pace and Holt. "It's to be determined," Devaney said.

Both are seven-time Pro Bowlers and veterans of two Super Bowls with the Rams.
