Incognito is still talking to Rams about a contract

Rams third-round draft pick and former Nebraska Cornhusker Richie Incognito (above) is still without a contract.




Signing offensive tackle Alex Barron to a five-year contract last week didn't complete the negotiating "season" for the Rams. They remain one draft pick short of having their full complement of players in training camp. Namely, third-round draft pick Richie Incognito.

Incognito still is recovering from offseason kneecap surgery, and at minimum remains several weeks away from being able to practice. The priority for the Rams was signing their healthy draft picks.

But with all the other 2005 draft picks signed and practicing, Incognito remains in a contract stalemate with the Rams. In fact, things have reached the point that Incognito's agent said his client might never show up.

"I would say it's a viable option for him to sit out the season and re-enter the draft in 2006," the agent, Jack Scharf, said.
