    Great move by the Rams to retain a key part of that DL rotation. Has terrific meal planning skills, too. #sardines

    Still waiting on confirmation on Sims, but if true, the DL should be in good shape come draft.

    That just leaves Fairley or a DT in the draft or both. Probably a DT in the first 2 rounds.

    I dunno. I wasn’t impressed by Sims last year. Once he entered the regular rotation to replace Quinn, IMO he got exposed. He can make plays, it seems to me, when he is a rotational guy who can play with some energy because he doesn’t have to pace himself. Once he was out there for multiple snaps, he was lacking. JF even referred to him as “improving”…which is a bad sign for a 5 year vet (which he was last year). 1.5 sacks in 9 starts? I think if he had that much to offer, he would have gotten snapped up in free agency.

    Yeah, I see little to be wowed about with Sims’ play. Plus, he seems to commit more than his share of untimely personal fouls.

    He might just be insurance, in case somebody gets hurt. His contract might only be for minimum.

    Rams re-sign Eugene Sims

    Rams re-sign Eugene Sims

    The Rams re-signed defensive end William Hayes early in free agency and they’re holding onto another member of their defensive line as well.

    Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Rams have re-signed defensive end Eugene Sims. It’s a three-year deal worth up to $10 million with $3.75 million in guaranteed money.

    Sims joined the Rams as a sixth-round pick in the 2010 draft and has been a regular in the lineup since his rookie season. He appeared in 13 games last year, starting nine times, and had 24 tackles, 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble and an interception. He has 9.5 sacks over his entire career.

    The Rams now have Hayes and Sims to go with Robert Quinn at the top of the depth chart at defensive end. They released Chris Long before free agency.

    That gives us 4 or 5 DEs for the next 2 or 3 years. Of course, the doesn’t mean we can’t look for the next Quinn.

    Eugene Sims Rams deal $10 million, $3.75M gtd, salaries $2.25M (gtd), $2.75M, $3.25M, $750K roster bonus this week

    So 3 M this year.

    I forget where that leaves the cap.

    I can’t be sure. Right now I have the Rams with 6M left for FAs. But, I image in reality they have enough to sign the FA TE and the rest of their guys, but not Fairley.

    I have 8M set aside for yearly cost. So, they can fiddle a bit it they want.
