Faulk still hasn't decided if he'll be back

Rams coach Scott Linehan is on record as saying he wants running back Marshall
Faulk back in 2006. But Faulk told reporters in New Orleans this past week that
he's still thinking it over.
"I'm still a Ram; I'm still under contract," Faulk told the New Orleans
Times-Picayune. "We'll see. It's hard to say. I haven't made any decision yet.
"When I play isn't a question. It's if I play. I'm going to play with St. Louis
if I play."
Faulk still has three years remaining on a four-year contract extension he
signed last February. If he retired, was released, or was traded, the Rams
would absorb a cap hit of about $4.1 million in 2006.
Faulk returned to his hometown of New Orleans to participate in a variety of
events to aid victims of Hurricane Katrina. He presented a check for $70,000 to
the Desire Street Ministries on Wednesday on behalf of the Marshall Faulk
Foundation.
Faulk grew up in the Desire housing projects. He visited several places where
he grew up and spent time in New Orleans, taking several pictures at his old
high school, Carver High.
He also participated in a food drop for the needy Tuesday, along with Feed the
Children and the NFL Players Association.
