(Ex)Rams news, 5/2

* Former Ram Anthony Hargrove received an eight-week suspension from the NFL today for his role in the New Orleans Saints' bounty scandal. Hargrove had "submitted a signed declaration" stating that he knew about the bounty program and participated in it. He is currently on the Packers' roster, having signed with them last month.

Saints LB Jonathan Vilma has been suspended for the entire 2012 season in the same matter, along with DE Will Smith for 4 weeks and LB Scott Fujita for 3.

* It did not take long for Josh Brown to land a new job; he was signed by the Jets today. From here it looks like he will compete with Nick Folk for the starting job. Folk didn't have a very good 2011, either, so Brown's got a shot.

* Zach Diles has signed with the Titans. He has yet to catch on anywhere since a failed run in Rams training camp last year.
