That was his wife's Twitter, not his.
And why does the thread still say "signing to follow?" Was that just an assumption? _________________ Adopt-a-Ram: Brian Quick - 11 receptions, 156 yards, 2 TDs |

Have Bradford in there and throw some passes and look at him with that wicked eye of his.
Should get Mr Jake, Long in the juice maker if you catch my drift.

His wife's twitter account.
The Rams never offered a contract prior to the physical also.

In this article it says Long is working out a deal with the Rams barring any setbacks. |

My guess is it will be all figured out tomorrow.
Hope he signs tonight though. |

This let's us slide Saffold to the RT position. He's quick on his feet.
These are moves set for need. Again, We have a great D. If our Offense can just sustain drives we could be dangerous.
Our Rookies stepped up big last year and we have 2 basically rookies in Pead-Quick who look to step up this year.
With RG out that could land us a top 3-5 pick next year which is frightening. We aren't rebuilding anymore. We are reloading.
This is going to be Sams 4th year and he's ready. Made huge strides last season.
We're finally giving him protection and weapons.
Givens could ball and If we add Austin I just might pass out. | Don't the Rams need some receivers? You can't reload until you have been "loaded". |

Just gotta worry about which Arch, Bridge and Needle that Clowney will smash. He doesn't read so well...you might find Clowney smashing a McDonalds.  |

Albert Breer reported Rams officials and Long had dinner again last night. So he is still in St. Louis, hopefully this ends soon. |

NFL Draft... | Counting on rookies to produce is problematic at best. While it occasionally happens it is rare even for first rounders and there are no real first round choices in this draft. We need another one in Chicago but there is no one I would even think about until the second. |
