Is There A New Fossil Sherriff In Town?

As a St. Louis Rams fan it was very upsetting to watch Scott Linehan sign one FOSL (friends of Scott Linehan) after another. Well don't look now but there is a new fossil collector in town and his name is Steve Spagnuolo. Spagnuolo has signed 3 ex-Giants players so far during free agency. In addition his first pick up last year was S James Butler another New York Giant. That would be bad enough but let's not forget the time Steve Spagnuolo spent with the Philadelphia Eagles. Since the start of the 2009 NFL season the Rams have also gathered in Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson and Hank Fraley all from the Eagles organization. Are the St. Louis Rams collecting talent and improving their roster or just gathering fossils?

Rams Trade Will Witherspoon To Eagles

In a MLB type salary dump the St. Louis Rams traded OLB Will Witherspoon to the Philadelphia Eagles on the last day of the NFL trading deadline. The Rams will receive rookie wide receiver Brandon Gibson and a 5th-round draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft. Witherspoon who will make 2.5 mill this year and 5 million in 2010, and 2011 has become too rich for the Rams blood. The Rams will tell you they are getting younger and acquiring more draft picks, I will tell you the roster is worse today than yesterday. While the Rams preach patience Chip Rosenbloom and Lucia Rodriguez are dropping the bottom line. As a Rams season ticket holder I have seen the Rams lose 33 of 38 games, 16 straight, and drop player after player from the roster that now play for other teams in the NFL. Rams, my patience is running out.
