KY Ram: any new news out of rams park? anything?
Jim Thomas: It's quiet out here today. Billy Devaney is back from California and dropped by after his lunchtime jog. The team is really gearing up for the draft, and don't forget, there's the veteran minicamp next Thurs., Fri., and Sat.
I know I've said this before, but Gus Frerotte will get done at some point.
mike barttelbort: Hello again, I dont understand Devaney when he says he wants players 25 years old to 30--so far he's backed up the talk--but along comes Gus frerotte--ok we are not going to be in the running this year--why Frerotte and if berlin cant play why keep him on the roster

I say JP Losman or Rex Grossman is a better fit-for that matter I'd take Michael Vick

your thoughts?

mb
Jim Thomas: Good question, and I don't know exactly how to answer it. Obviously, there are exceptions for every rule. I thought Losman or Boller might be worth a look, but they might be more expensive than Frerotte.
Vick is not the kind of person the Rams are looking for.
mike barttelbort: If the Lions take the baylor tackle, and if this Stafford is a real leader type guy, top five pick, there is no way the Rams should pass him up

As a former big red season ticket holder and current Rams psl holder-it makes no since to pass up the chance to pick up a player that could be here for 10 years-
Jim Thomas: If the Lions take Jason Smith, why not take Eugene Monroe. I think he could be around for 10 years himself.
Marty: Hello Jim. Just wondering if you've heard of or seen any movement concerning the "improvements" to the Dome. Have they even started yet? Thanks for your reports.
Jim Thomas: I don't know of many details, but Bob Wallace has told me work indeed is underway on the improvements at the dome. I was at the motorcyle supercross races March 21 with my 12-year-old, and couldn't see anything different in the dome, but Wallace says some work has started.
sintek: Hey Jim,

After the last couple of signings with Goldberg and such do you know how much the Rams are under the salary cap??

Also, I have heard rumblings of Braylon Edwards being available for trade. Do you think the Rams would have any interest in him?? He was a beast when he came to St Louis a couple years ago even though I know he had kind of an average year last year.

Thanks
Jim Thomas: As much as I cover the league, it's always hardest to get a true read on trades. I'm unaware of any Rams interest in Edwards, but that doesn't mean it's not there. Edwards did have a monster game against the Rams in '07, but I'm told he had a lot of drops last season.
