Deal imminent between St. Louis Rams and Brown
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
All indications are that a deal is imminent between the Rams and center-guard Jason Brown that will land the team the first free agent of the Steve Spagnuolo coaching tenure.


Heck Yea,
Now lets get Bartel signed and get a mid tier WR.
Great news They identified their guy and got it done!!!
lets get it done
So assuming they sign Brown and that Pace is gone, how does the O-line shake out? There was talk of moving Alex Barron to LT (DeMarco Farr is very high on this idea) and Greco becoming a starter. I’m not sure Barron can handle LT but Farr feels his problems have been ineffective coaching.
This is a very good sign. The middle of the O-line is a good place to start the rebuilding process. Now they need to address the secondary. Unfortunately, Bartell’s contract will be shocking, considering the fact that DeAngelo Hall just signed for around $9 million per year.
Bartell becomes priority #1 if this is true, in my opinion, closely followed by James Butler. Get all three done, and you have the makings of an OUTSTANDING start to the offseason.
Don’t jinx it.
I HEARD HE DOESN’T WANT TO PLAY FOR THE RAMS HE WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE ANOTHER TEAM ANTE UP !! SO WHAT’S THE DEAL ?? IF THAT ‘S TRUE SEND HIM HOME NOW !!!!
have the rams sign center-guard jason brown?anybody heard anything?
This is exciting. Now if they can somehow get Pace to restructure our o-line will look pretty good. Pace, Bell, Brown, Incognito and Barron, of course assuming Spags can get Barron and Cogs to play without a million penalties. Then we draft Curry at #2 and sign a couple more free agents. Things are looking up. GO RAMS!!!
Foxworth getting 16.5 guaranteed, with max of 28mil on a 4 year deal? There’s no way he’s a better player than Ron Bartell. My 12 year old would have been an above average QB in 2008 playing against the Rams (ZERO Pass Rush) and yet Bartell was the best CB in the NFC West. That’s gotta say something, a QB’s being able to sit back and enjoy a long weekend before someone from the front 7 gets their hands on him and Bartell doing what he did. Step up gentlemen; pay the kid the market rate and let’s get him back before he gets away.
