Tim Couch Pulls Out Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 The Rams are reportedly "seriously considering" placing the lowest possible tender on restricted free agent FS O.J. Atogwe. The tender is called "right of first refusal," and would allow St. Louis to match any offer sheet Atogwe receives, but give the team no draft pick in return. The designation would also cost the Rams $5.75 million less than giving Atogwe a typically mandated 10-percent raise on his 2009 salary ($6.976 million). It could also create a lot of bad blood between the team and player. If they do, in fact, tender him so low, do you think we'd go after him? It would make some decisions in our offseason a hell of a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
next2nothing Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I wouldn't be against it. 74 tackles, 3 FF and 2 INTs last year. He had 13 INTs combined in the two years before 2009 and 6 FF in the 2008 season alone. He did kind of drop off but he's better then Pool and Elam.

yosemitejam Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 As next2 points out, he has the ability to force to's and likes to bang based on his combo/tackle stats. of course st louis is going to low ball him and he will be sought by other teams....If the Browns were to obtain his services let's hope he can convert his hurt feelings into controlled mayhem on the playing field... His early year career stats are impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
next2nothing Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 I also forgot to mention that he had an injury that forced him to the reserve list last year as well. So that could have contributed to his drop in stats, mainly his INTs and FFs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
