RAMS ACQUIRE WR WILKINS FROM COLTS IN EXCHANGE FOR DRAFT PICK
ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams have acquired WR/KR Terrence Wilkins from the Indianapolis in exchange for an undisclosed draft pick, the team announced today.
Wilkins, 5-10, 180, played his previous three NFL seasons in Indianapolis. He has caught 119 passes for 1,466 yards and seven touchdowns, despite starting only 22 of 41 career games. He has returned 91 punts for 847 yards (9.3 average) and two touchdowns and has averaged 22.0 yards per return on 110 kickoff returns with one touchdown. Wilkins ranked fifth in receptions and receiving yards among all 2002 free agent wide receivers, and tied for fourth in touchdown receptions in the same category.
"He's a good fit for us," said Rams' head coach Mike Martz. "Terrence can line up in a lot of places. He can catch, return punts and kickoffs, and he'll bring speed and attitude to our team. It's difficult to replace Az Hakim, but I believe we have helped ourselves considerably with this trade. This represents one of our most important moves of the off-season. "
Sounds like we have filled our need for a 4th wide receiver and kick off and punt returner. If Mad mike says he'll fill the bill I am sure not going to argue with the Master
