Thats right Terrell Owens may be taking his diminishing talents to St. Louis very soon. The Rams head office is meeting on Monday to consider whether the move is something that will be positive for the club and then at what rate. The Rams have a connection with Owens from his days in Philadelphia when Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo was linebacker coach and Rams offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur was QB coach on the Eagles staff. Thoughts abut Owens and his locker room behavior will definitely be first issues when the talks begin as the Rams have a very young team with a projected starting QB, overall #1 pick Sam Bradford, that has yet to throw a pass in an NFL game.
The current Rams wide receiver corp was led last season by Donnie Avery. Who? Yes, Donnie Avery who along with the second leading receiver on the squad (Danny Amendola) still only amassed 911 yards, 6 td's and 90 receptions. They are in dire need of a good pair of hands, although TO has led the league in drops for many years, and veteran in the locker room as well as on the field. But the cost that the Rams will go to for that addition will be realized in the next 24-48 hours. The main reason for Owens still being unemployed is because of his attitude on the field when he does not get the TO-required touches that makes him blow up at his QB, his offensive coordinator and coach if they put up with the antics. The last thing that a young unproven QB needs is a cancer in his ear hollering about how open he was on every pass opportunity. That will be one of the quickest ways to shorten the bright career of Bradford. So we will wait and see just how desperate the Rams are in the next few days.
