Rams re sign C Tim Barnes

[TEB11]

to a 1 year deal. I know he visited Kansas City so there was some interest around the league. Thoughts?

 

[Clayton]

He is better than Wells was last year but not really a good starter. A good signing at this point just to have someone, though

We need the dues! Anyway its a depth signing that wont cost too much. I think we now have 6-7 Oline signed.

 

[SJ76]

He's 25!! I like it for depth.

 

[chy1127]

I read its about $1m for 1 year. Could do worse.

I read its about $1m for 1 year. Could do worse.

By worse, do you mean we could still have Wells?

By worse, do you mean we could still have Wells?

Yes. That also includes Joseph.

I doubt the Rams will bring back Wells unless an injury bug wipes out the roster and it would be an emergency type situation. His body is pretty beat-up and he is in his 30's. Same thing that has happened to Long even though Long is younger and doesn't want to play anymore. Joseph's career is also in that twilight and he'll hang around in the same manner as Wells but I think Fisher and the Rams have moved along.

At this point we have GRob, Saffold, Barnes, Jones, Reynolds, Rhaney and Washington on the roster as o linemen. My guy says Barksdale will end up resigning. I also think we will end up getting Blalock. Then we will draft 2 linemen. That will give us 10 linemen with lots of versatile players. Based on my thoughts, I see a week 1 starting line of GRob,Blalock,Barnes,Saffold,Barksdale. Moving Saffold back to RG gives a solid run blocker and solid pass blocker on each side of the line. Also if we sign Barksdale AND Blalock, we will select Cooper, White or Waynes in the first round.

That scenario works for me!

Hey Commish. I thought you might like to know we also have Steven Baker and Travis Bond on our roster. I don't think they are going to sign either Blalock or Wisnewski. I think they go after one of the several good lineman in the draft and have that be the action that fills out our O-line.
