Leonard Little will be a Ram next season. He agreed to restructure his contract, splitting the bonus he was due over the next two years and saving the Rams $3.5 million against the cap. This is a very good move for everyone concerned. I think Little's still got something left in the tank and he deserves a chance to prove he's back from last season's toe injury. He's also one of only two legitimate pass rushers the Rams have right now (Will Witherspoon being the other).
Gus Frerotte has apparently been told he's going to be cut. This is also a good move for the Rams (not so much so for Gus), provided they're not insane enough to think Brock Berlin has the skill to step up into the #2 role. Brock's barely an acceptable #4.
OJ Atogwe was tendered at the first-round level. He'll be due another $1.5 million unless another team goes crazy and offers him a contract the Rams would never want to match.
After all these moves, the Rams are now about $10 million under the cap, so they've got a little money to spend as free agency opens tonight.
No word yet on any negotiations with Isaac Bruce.
Elsewhere in the league, Kevin Carter was cut by the Buccaneers, but the expectation is he'll sign a new, cheaper contract to play in Tampa again next year.
