Rams shoot down Steven Jackson trade rumors

According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the St. Louis Rams have made it clear they were unaware that running back Steven Jackson is looking for a new contract. So any rumors of the Rams possibly trading Jackson look like they’re false. Thomas indicated that those who are close to Jackson have said that he doesn’t want a new contract, but would rather like an...

Will Rams move up, down or stay and pick?

Getting a handle on how the Rams will approach the draft, at least in the first round, is as unpredictable as the usual smokescreens that are sent up every year by NFL teams. After moving down to the sixth slot in the opening round following their March deal with the Redskins, the Rams also own the first and seventh picks in the second round. But the first-round choice is what...

Rams WR Danny Amendola Signs His One-Year Tender Offer

According to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, wide receiver Danny Amendola, who was the Rams' team leader in receptions (85) and reception yards (689) in 2010, has signed his one-year, $1.972 million tender as a restricted free agent and will be back with the team in 2012. The Rams didn't want to lose Amendola, but his stats are likely in for a rude awakening in...

St. Louis Rams select Brian Quick, Grade B-

Pretty cool to have Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt at the podium to introduce the St. Louis Rams next No. 1 receiver. However, this was too early for Brian Quick. Sam Bradford needs someone who can come in and help him immediately, and the FCS receiver is too raw to make a significant impact early on. Unfortunately, this feels an awful lot like the when the Rams reached for Donnie Avery...

St. Louis Rams select Janoris Jenkins, Grade C

The St. Louis Rams are gambling here, but I don’t completely hate the move. They have multiple picks in the 2nd round, so I can definitely understand why they were willing to gamble. However, a young team which is likely not going to be competitive for another year or two is generally not a good place for a guy with character concerns. Janoris Jenkins would have been better off...

Draft could define rebuilding Rams' identity

ST. LOUIS The two men trusted to repair the St. Louis Rams sat behind a table at Rams Park, one day before beginning a draft that could mark a rise. On one side, new general manager Les Snead spoke about preparing to make eight picks in the next three days.

First round over, Rams' draft begins in second

ST. LOUIS Now their draft begins. Sure, the St. Louis Rams made LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers the 14th overall pick Thursday, and coach Jeff Fisher called him NFL-ready, and general manager Les Snead said he was one of the top-rated players on their board. All those things happened on a night of drama and possibility, but the Rams' draft doesn't truly start until...

2012 NFL Draft: Rams Select Michael Brockers

With the 14th pick from the Dallas Cowboys the St. Louis Rams select DT Michael Brockers.  This is a great pick for the Rams who like any other team needs to stuff the run up the middle.  He can take over a game if put in the right situation.  He is fast enough to jump the gap when the guards pull. The Rams have 3 of the first 45 picks plus the number 1 pick which means they haveÂ...

Rams say RB Jackson not unhappy

ST. LOUIS (AP) The St. Louis Rams did their best to stamp out a rumor the day before the draft, saying running back Steven Jackson is not unhappy with his contract. The Rams also say they're not interested in trading the two-time Pro Bowler. Jackson is coming off his seventh straight 1,000-yard season, and has two years to go on a deal that'll pay him about 7 million in...

Rams grab CB Trumain Johnson in 3rd round

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The St. Louis Rams chose a defensive back with their third-round pick, taking Trumaine Johnson of Montana.
