Rams Riding in a Bentley?

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 23:31:43 -0500

ProfootballTalk.com via the St. Louis Post Dispatch is reporting that the Rams have brought in LeCharles Bentley for a visit and physical. With a few injuries along the Rams Offensive Line already, the Rams are thin at guard and center. Bentley plays both guard and center, but has missed the last two years with two different injuries. One of his years was lost due to a staph infection. (gross!) I've advocated for this signing before, and it makes me very happy to see it become closer to fruition. Rarely do you talk about upside when talking about an offensive lineman, but Bentley has it. He has the potential to be an All-Pro offensive lineman at guard or center. At worst, he is a one-year wasted investment that doesn't make it into a game. Bentley would add quality depth, versatility and potential to the Rams offensive line. Let's do it.

More, and Hopefully Final Words on Bentley

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 10:30:46 -0500

I'm hoping that this is the last time that we have to talk about LeCharles Bentley, as what looks like a mutual agreement on paper apparently has a lot more behind it. Today, ProFootballTalk published a small piece on the subject, and used some not-kind words to describe the organization's feelings about the once-heralded center. Per a league source, the Browns released Bentley due to a case of mutual loathing. "It was a bad deal," the source said. "Player hated team...

Done Before it Even Started
