That kind of upsets me, but there are other LBs out there. I hope we try to jump on some talent and not just a filler.

The Rams' persistence paid off by not letting Panthers linebacker Will Witherspoon go to the airport and letting him fly to New Orleans for a visit.

Witherspoon agreed with the Rams on a six-year, $33 million contract that includes $15 million in guarantees. Witherspoon turned down an offer to stay with the Panthers for close to $11.5 million to sign.

The Saints were trying to be persuasive and get him signed, but Witherspoon stayed in St. Louis and got the deal with the Rams instead.

In the past few days, the Rams have added defensive tackle La'Roi Glover, Witherspoon and safety Corey Chavous to their defense.

i feel you deuce i try to be selective about the sources i post but i think kffl is a pretty good source. but for sure seeing it on espn makes it more official. dude the rams have signed three good players on d. i think they are pushing for a playoff spot next year. man the nfc is looking tougher. of course it is only march

Yeah and notice the trend here?

:cry:

Witherspoon was on the top of my list for free agents to sign. We should have been more aggressive with Witherspoon and not focused so much on Brees

spkb25 03-12-2006 03:47 PM

I'm thinking the same thing spkb25. I do believe that we are focusing all of our attention on Brees right now and as a result we are losing out on some other really good free agents.

D_it_up 03-12-2006 04:33 PM

All the talk in the world of what they want to do in free agency is worthless if it's not acted upon. I posted earlier that I wasn't going to get overly excited unless we made a splash in free agency and the draft. So far, NOTHING! If we get Brees, then O.K. However, if we don't add a couple more good players through free agency, then a Brees signing will be almost insignificant for the upcoming season. I've also posted before that free agency was going to be a pain in the rear for the Saints due to their unsettled situation in the Big Easy. I know other people have said the same thing. Regardless of how much cap room we have to spend on big name free agents, they could be 40 mil under the cap and it wouldn't matter. If some moves are made later on that are impressive, then I'll eat crow. Until then, I knew this would be the situation. I just hope that I'm proved wrong.
