St. Louis Rams Sign CB Kevin Dockery

The St. Louis Rams signed cornerback Kevin Dockery on Monday. Dockery made 25 tackles in 2009 while playing in 11 games for the Giants. The Rams who claim to want bigger, stronger, faster players have signed another undersized player in Dockery who is 5'8" and 190 pounds. Dockery has 149 tackles and 3 interceptions in his NFL career. Dockery was not tendered an offer by the Giants where he was viewed at best their 4th cornerback on the depth chart. I guess the Rams can at least say they are spending money, but I am not sure what they are getting for it.

St. Louis Rams Sign TE Darcy Johnson

The St. Louis Rams signed 6'5" Tight end Darcy Johnson on Monday. Steve Spagnuolo has signed yet another ex-Giant. Three of the five free agents the Rams have signed are ex-Giants and don't forget James Hall from last year. In addition Hank Fraley played for the Eagles while Spagnuolo was on the coaching staff there. Johnson had 5 catches for 32 yards last year for the Giants while playing in 13 games. During his three year career Johnson has only 9 catches for 78 yards. Good thing we landed Johnson before he was caught by another team dreaming about catching a backup of a backup for their TE position.

St. Louis Rams Sign DE James Hall

Monday the St. Louis Rams signed defensive end James Hall back as a free agent. James Hall stated that Steve Spagnuolo was a big reason that he wanted to come back to the Rams in addition to some family decisions. Word was that the New Orleans Saints were also interested in signing Hall. At 33 Hall is getting a little long in the tooth but was one of the Rams better defensive players in 2009. Hall played in 14 games in 2009 and recorded 4.5 sacks. With the peobable loss of Leonard Little the Rams need to make sure they have enough warm bodies. Hopefully Hall will stay healthy and provide the Rams with some much need pass rush in 2010.

Rams Sign Offensive Tackle Ryan McKee

With the loss of Jacob Bell and Richie Incognito the St. Louis Rams are running low on offensive lineman. The Rams signed offensive tackle Ryan McKee to the roster on Tuesday. McKee is a 6'6" 290lb lineman from Southern Mississippi. McKee went undrafted during the 2009 NFL Draft but was signed as a free agent by the New York Jets. Ryan earned second team All-Conference USA honors twice and lead Southern Mississippi to the New Orleans Bowl as a senior. Ryan started 40 consecutive games in his career, and recorded more than 80 knockdown blocks as a senior.

St. Louis Rams Sign Tim Carter Again

According to the St. Louis Rams, they have once again signed Tim Carter to the roster after losing Gary Gibson for the year to an injury. Tim Carter has played 6 years in the NFL so he would easily be the Rams most experienced wide receiver. Carter has 80 receptions for 1084 yards and 4 touchdowns in his career. Carter a 2nd round draft pick of the New York Giants in 2002 has never really been a factor in the NFL. Carters best year was way back in 2003 when he managed 26 receptions. The Rams in need of playmakers are just trying to have enough warm bodies at WR to get through some games right now.

St. Louis Rams Sign 12 Rookie Free Agents

The St. Louis Rams agreed to terms with 12 rookie free agents on April 28th. I heard the names of many of these players before the draft and during the late rounds. The Rams almost made Marc Magro Mr. Irrelevant. Once again the Rams are looking at production. These players simply made plays in college. I am a big fan of these pick ups. I believe camp is going to be very interesting. I do not think there will be many free passes given to veteran players in 2008. Are the Rams actually improving? If you are a fan of any of these college players send us your thoughts on their chances of making the Rams.
