As you can probably tell Drew signed a 6 year deal. I beleive it's 6 anyway. Tully got an offer, but left without signing as he want's to veiw all his options. He said recently that he "ENJOYED" the visit. I think thats a good thing.

St. Louis Rams: The Rams filled the void for the potential loss of wide receiver Kevin Curtis by signing Drew Bennett to a six-year, $30 million contract that including a $10 million in guarantees.

Between bonuses and base salary, Bennett will pocket $9.5 million in 2007. He will earn $13 million in the first two years of the contract and $21 million over the first four seasons of the deal.

Bennett leaves the Tennessee Titans and joins one of the most productive receiving duos in the NFL in Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce. Curtis visited the Minnesota Vikings Friday and is scheduled to also visit the Detroit Lions.

A former quarterback, Bennett has been a successful possession receiver with the Titans. He's played six seasons after making the team as an undrafted player in 2001.

Seems kind of high for a #3 WR.

Much as it pains me to say it Bruce can't go on forever,and you need to have a plan for the future and Bennett fits that.In the short-term we have a WR trio that we can be truly proud of,and in the long-term Bennett has a big future with us considering he is only 28?..:l

It does seem high...until you consider that the Rams are probably thinking that Bruce will retire in the near future.
