Free agent WLB Scott Shanle has spoken to the Rams about lining up a visit.
Shanle was ineffective as an outside linebacker last season and the Saints are likely ready to move in a new direction. In St. Louis, he'd be able to battle the likes of David Vobora and Na'il Diggs for snaps. Related: RamsSource: Mike Triplett on Twitter Jul 26, 12:30 PM On Sims... I was pretty high on him coming out of college... not so much anymore. He just doesn't make enough plays for me. |

I'm not interested but...
The Cowboys have informed RB Marion Barber of his impending release. Barber never stood a prayer of collecting on his $4.25 million salary, and the Cowboys had to make a quick decision on his $500,000 roster bonus. MBIII entered last season as the starter, but showed no evidence of a burst even before a mid-season calf injury. After averaging 4.5 yards per carry as one of the most physical backs in the league from 2005-07, Barber's production has tailed off to 3.88 over the past three years. Now 28 and plagued by multiple leg injuries in recent seasons, Barber will have to accept a backup job on the open market. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Jul 26, 1:41 PM |
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.
All little common sense goes a long way. |

Not available now is Charles Johnson, DE; the Panthers just did a 76mil contract (~30mil guaranteed)...
Nice to see the Panthers tie up all there money; guess the Front office there is lazy... |

The bulk of that is a signing bonus. They didn't tie up all their money and still have plenty to spend. That said, that's a huge contract tied up to a player and organization that won't be a Superbowl contender for quite a while imo.
Stewart Bradley is now available and could be a nice fit here. |

That's true... if Newton pans out, they could definitely turn it around quicker. They definitely have a stout offensive line when healthy too.
