Jason Smith signed


The full Rams roster reports for training camp tomorrow, and first-round draft pick Jason Smith will be there. He signed a six-year deal that guarantees him $33 million. As Mike Florio points out, that's a $600,000-a-year raise over what #1 overall pick Jake Long got last year.

Sure, there were practices today for rookies, QBs and "selected veterans", but for all intents and purposes the Rams front office has all the draft picks in on time, unlike 22 other teams, including the rest of the NFC West, who don't have their first-round pick signed. Kudos to the Rams front office for that accomplishment.

In fact, the Seahawks don't have either of their top two picks signed at this point, while in San Francisco, it sounds like the Whiners are going to have their hands full getting Michael Crabtree into camp. (He's got Steven Jackson's agent!)

Things are looking good these days in Rams Nation.
