Rams Turn Attention To Re-Signing LB James Laurinaitis

Found July 31, 2012 on GridironFans.com: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: James Laurinaitis,  Tom Condon
TEAMS: St. Louis Rams
Fourth-year linebacker James Laurinaitis is next in line for a contract extension, and talks are under way between the Rams and Laurinaitis' St. Louis-based agent, Tom Condon of CAA. "Tom mentioned that they're talking, but I don't follow that stuff," Laurinaitis said. "I really try not to focus on that. I just go and play football and if anything happens, Tom will let me know." Long was relieved to have his contract status settled before the start of the season. Laurinaitis said it's not a big deal for him, either way. "What's important to me is just being accountable to my teammates, making sure I play to the best of my ability and that those other guys in that locker room know they can depend on me out on the field," he said. "That's the only thing that matters to me. The rest can take care of itself."
