Drew Bennet to the rams...

The Rams have reportedly signed Drew Bennett to a deal that will pay him $4.5 million-per-season.

The 6-5 Bennett is exactly what coach Scott Linehan has been looking for in a slot receiver. He easily could've gotten a "starting" job elsewhere, but St. Louis will use more three-receiver sets to keep its best weapons on the field. Bennett, Isaac Bruce, and Torry Holt give the Rams arguably the best top three receivers in the NFL, and should help Marc Bulger solidify himself as a top-five, possibly top-two fantasy QB.

Wow, if he's getting 4.5 mill, we won't sign Moss for less than 6+mill....

NOT a BAD signing at all.

A perfect redzone threat to compliment the other two Rams WR's.

More FA rumors....

KERNEY VISITING THE 'HAWKS

Adam Caplan of Scout.com reports that defensive end Patrick Kerney will visit the Seahawks. Per Caplan, the 'Hawks are expected to make Kerney a lucrative offer.

The starting defensive ends in Seattle currently are Grant Wistrom and Bryce Fisher. Wistrom was ridiculously overpaid several years ago, and it looks like the Seahawks are ready to do the same for Kerney.

It had been reported that the Broncos were intent on signing Kerney before he headed to Seattle, but their efforts were unsuccessful.

We improved last season by waiting for the rush to conclude and than jumping in and signing some solid players. The same will happen this season.

Can you reiterate on this ? We singed Manuel and Pickett very early in March.

I'm confused as to who we signed after waiting for the rush to conclude.


Later in free agency we grabbed Ben Taylor, who did nothing for us
and Charles Woodson, who we grossly frontloaded to use up cap space

Am I missing a bunch ?

Manuel was signed on March 13, which I believe was either the 1st or 2nd day of free agency. Pickett was signed 4 days later on March 17. Don't know if you would consider Pickett part of the rush, or after the rush.
