There's at least a small flurry of contract signings building up at Rams Park right now, according to today's Bill Coats article on STLtoday. The Rams have agreed to terms with Bradley Fletcher, and according to team contract negotiator Kevin Demoff, 4th-round pick Darell Scott and 5th-round pick Brooks Foster should be in the fold in the next couple of days.
Demoff also says that talks with Jason Smith and James Laurinaitis are going well, and that he'd be "shocked" if anyone was a holdout by the time training camp opens on the 31st.
Demoff also made an intriguing remark about the status of franchised free safety O.J. Atogwe's contract - "We're not there on a long-term deal yet, but we could be there by Wednesday." The Rams have till Wednesday to sign Atogwe to a long-term deal, or he plays 2009 on the one-year franchise tender and becomes a free agent again after this season.
They say the days around the MLB All-Star Game are the deadest days in sports, but the Rams may be livening things up the next couple of days...
