Jim Thomas: Rams agree to terms with C Scott Wells

[Bar-bq]

Jim Thomas is saying it's four years, $24 million, $13 million guaranteed. Maxes out to $25.5 million with incentives.

I was close!

What's four million dollars between friends, anyway?

A really good signing that upgrades the interior and gives Sam someone that will know what the defense is doing. He should automatically start calling out line adjustments and take pressure off Sam pre-snap, because I thought he had trouble with that last season. Add this to Finnegan and either Jason Jones or Kendall Langford, this is a really good offseason. Last year was quantity, this year is quality. Big difference.



My guess is 4 million signing bonus and then salaries of 4,5,5,6 with incentives for playoffs and first two years salary guaranteed.

Good point's Codeman 123. Lets not forget about his experience, and the wealth of knowledge he has gained, playing in a WCO. It could be invaluable to have a Pro Bowl caliber C, to help develop Sam Bradford, after last year's nightmare. Very smart move by Fishead in my opinion.
The Rams have FINALLY began to raise the bar with their players. H-E-A-V-E-N.

Nice!! I was wanting Scott Wells when it was announced we were releasing Brown. Reasons? He is solid at his position, has worked with a All-Pro QB which is a tell all sign he is good at what he does, brings in the confidence and experience of being a recent Super Bowl and NFC Conferrence champion... A center is the QB of the O-Line which will be great for us once get it sqaured away... Remember we still have Wraggae as G and C backup which is a good thing!

I thought Wragge was a UFA?

Huge signing!!!

Jim Thomas-

Rams agree to terms with former Packers center Scott Wells.

What an upgrade over Brown. I'm thrilled. manningham next, followed by jones.

I read this morning that Jones is signing with Seattle.

I see a lot of interest here for Manningham, but personally I wouldn't be too excited about getting him. Injury issues, definitely not a #1 in my book but a #2 (maybe) or #3 guy. Also, I read the FA tracker (NFL)and the Rams are not even listed as a team with interest. I'd rather resign Lloyd if possible.

Great signing. Although he is aging, he still has some good quality years left. Although he is a bit undersized for my liking (6'2, ~290lbs), he has had success with dealing with solid DTs in the league, and should man the interior well for Bradford.

Good starter C, very good addition to OL.

Also, great position to draft a Center late and let him learn behind Wells?? -- RamOG

I would hope instead that TWragge stays as our back-up, even if he is an UFA. ^_^
