eternalramnation: Jim,

Is Chavous the big cut from the roster or will there be more coming over the next week?

Also any word on whether the front office is trying to restructure Pace or Holt's contracts?

Jim Thomas: I'd be very surprised if there weren't more.

soly: Not too many posts today, huh, Jim? Is there just nothing going on? What about the deals with Bartel and OJ? Any insight into the backup RB?
Mahalo,
Sol

Jim Thomas: I don't know Sol, I'm staring at about 30 pages of questions. So there always seems to be interest in the Rams. Nothing new on Bartell and Atogwe that I'm aware of. I don't think any serious Bartell talks will take place until the Combine.
Don't have any insight on the backup RB. In fact, I need to check and see if this remains as big a priority under the new regime as it seemed to be under Haslett.

Memphis Ram: NFL.Com's Pat Kirwan considers Michael Crabtree to be a cross betwen Michael Irvin and Keyshawn Johnson. Is such a player really worthy of the #2 overall pick in the draft?

Jim Thomas: I'd say so. Let's just hope he's not a cross between Charles Rodgers and Mike Williams.

Joe Stafford: Hello Jim,

I understand your reasons for not having 5 million dead cap because of Bennett, But ask yourself these questions, What has he done for this team as far as being a top flight reciever the last two years? What makes you think he will do anything this year? Besides that he did cost this team Isaac Bruce, and he is also Linehans boy, sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and get them the heck out of there!

Jim Thomas: I agree. But if that were the case, you might see 2/3rds of this team cut. That's a lot of bullets to bite.

Jumbo J: Any chance we could trade Holt to NYG or NE? Both teams have two 2nds. Would that be too much to ask for Holt?

Jim Thomas: It sure looks like the Giants need help at wide receiver. And they're the type of team that is close enough to a title that they wouldn't mind adding a veteran like Holt who has maybe only a couple, three good years left in him.
