Devaney upset Atogwe's name was floated

One reason that Rams G.M. Billy Devaney came out so strongly against the Donovan McNabb trade rumors was the inclusion of safety O.J. Atogwe's name.

Speaking on Bernie Miklasz's radio show, Devaney wasn't happy that Atogwe's name was mentioned. Devaney said the Rams are trying to sign Atogwe long-term, and they don't want any "bad rumors" to create collateral damage.

The floated rumors, then, were not just premature. They were ill-conceived.

Including Atogwe's name forced the Rams to dismiss

thats good news.

So if OJs name made them dismiss the rumor, what would of happened if his name was NOT mentioned.

A 2nd pick to solidify the QB position for the next 2-3, WHILE we are getting the rest of the pieces together for a new franchise QB has to atleast be considered.

Probably not an offer that satisfies the Eagles.

Can we all stop panicking about OJ not coming back now? Devaney knows OJ is not only a ball hawk on the field, but also a fan favorite, he wouldnt let him get away easily.

If OJ leaves, that is one more hole to fill, which the Rams can't afford any more of. They need the least amount of holes possible to fill.

I agree
