Found March 16, 2012 on Fox Sports:
The St. Louis Rams appear out of the Eric Winston sweepstakes. A source told FOXSports.com that Winston won't be making his free-agent trip Friday to the Rams as originally planned. There are no plans for a rescheduled visit, the source said. Winston met Thursday and Friday with the Kansas City Chiefs but a signing isn't imminent.

Winston, 28, started every game the past five seasons for one of the NFL's most prolific offenses.
