Former #Rams LB Cory Littleton has an agreement to join the #Raiders, source said, on a 3-year deal worth up to $36M. It has a base value of $11.75M per year.

Cory Littleton was so far down the totem pole as a rookie, he was dressing in a Coliseum anteroom for exhibition games. Made it as a special teamer. Now he’s a Pro Bowler and a rich new Raider. Good for him. Big assist to Wade Phillips.
Obviously, we don’t know the inside scoop, what the FO tried to do to keep him, etc. But if they didn’t offer him at least as much as the Raiders, etc. etc. . . . I think that’s a major mistake.
He’s likely better than anyone else the Rams are gonna add through the Draft or their own forays into FA.

Rich Hammond points out that the tax difference between Nevada & CA (nothing v. a lot) makes it unlikely that 12 M a year in CA would actually be 12 M.

Wade Phillips deserves credit helping Cory Littleton go from undrafted special teams ace to Pro Bowl caliber LB. But going back to his Washington days, when he wanted to draft Cory, and then as
@Rams LB coach, Joe Barry was always huge believer/asset in Littleton’s development
