Other ex-Rams:
* I cannot find an official
announcement, but London Fletcher retired this past spring. He was
the final member of the Super Bowl XXXIV champions still playing.
* Ryan Pickett's contract ran out in
Green Bay last season. He appeared in all 16 games and had 21
tackles. No other team has expressed interest. With B.J. Raji out for
the season, maybe Ryan can make a comeback and dislodge Steven
Jackson as the league's senior ex-Ram.
* Will Witherspoon is not officially
retired to my knowledge but is now the sideline reporter on Rams
radio broadcasts. Former 7th-round pick Derek Stanley has been part
of the pregame and postgame shows on radio.
* Harvey Dahl, cut by the Rams in
March, may still be recovering from hip surgery. As recently as the
start of training camp, Jeff Fisher said the door is left open for
Dahl to return to the Rams.
* Danario Alexander tore an ACL in
training camp last year. After having had five surgeries on his left
knee, it was his right knee that blew out this time. Alexander's
right knee is catching up to his left knee quickly. Due to infection,
it's been operated on multiple times since the original injury last
August. He has run a youth football camp in Texas the last two years.
* Quintin Mikell is all but officially
retired. He suffered a foot injury, believed to be a Lisfranc
fracture, in Carolina's playoff loss to San Francisco and had surgery
on it a couple of months ago.
* Gary Gibson appeared in 13 games for
the Bucs last year with three tackles. No expressed interest around
the league.
* Paris Lenon, 35, the last XFL player
still playing in the NFL, had 22 tackles in 14 games for Denver in
2013. The Broncos have gone much younger at MLB.
* Bryan Kehl had 5 tackles in 5 games
for Washington last year before suffering a season-ending knee
injury. No sign he's returning.
* Richie Incognito was reinstated
by the league last week. He has already had a visit with the
Buccaneers and there are rumors swirling about interest from the
Colts.
* Adam Carriker, who has missed the
last 30 games due to quad injuries, has been physically cleared to
play but hasn't found any takers.
* Andrew Helmick only played in the
final regular-season game and his only stat was a tackle, but it was
enough to make him an Arena League champion. The Arizona Rattlers
beat Cleveland to win their third straight Arena Bowl last weekend.
Joe Gibbs, not the coach but a tackle who was also in St. Louis for a
training camp, appeared in 6 games for the Rattlers, with 3 catches,
interestingly.
A couple of coaches I was curious
about:
* Former defensive coordinator Ron
Meeks took last season off to be a volunteer coach for his son's high
school football team.
* Another former defensive coordinator,
Tim Walton, does not appear to be working in football at the moment.
He addressed the team at his old high school in Columbus, Ga. a
couple of weeks ago.
Phew.
