Re: Rams, Steussie reach settlement
This is GREAT news and i give the front office a lOT of credit. I think its highly likely that the rams have a handshake deal with steussie on this. If he heals, they will be able to resign him later. This effectively means we are in the same place as if we kept him on the roster while he healed, only we dont have to use a roster spot to do it. Of course there is a risk that he signs with someone else, but i consider that unlikely and well worth the cost of paying the injury settlement so that he is not done for the year. This could turn out to be a great investment for us. He was only making 1.5 million this year, so even if the settlement was a million bucks or so, we have a great chance of getting him back late in the year if we need him or just want the insurance for the run to the superbowl.

ramming speed to all and kudos to my boy ziggy
