Transactions, 1/25

STLToday

* Fair warning to whomever the Rams' 3rd and 4th-string QBs will be this summer: NFL.com reports the Rams (may) have signed tackle Sean Hooey to a futures contract. That would reunite him and Mitchell Van Dyk and re-create one of the worst third-string offensive lines in preseason history. Well, at least the Rams finally cut the prices of preseason games. This would be Sean's third, and I assume final, chance to make the main roster. Seems like a good enough fellow, so good luck to him wherever he does wind up.

* Fair warning also that, since this was NFL.com reporting, IT MAY BE COMPLETELY WRONG. For instance, they reported Jorgen Hus signed with the Rams earlier this month, when he didn't. Hus signed with the Chiefs. Thanks, NFL; it's not like I would ever expect THE LEAGUE ITSELF to accurately report its own transactions.

* So, in summary, Sean Hooey probably signed with an NFL team, and it might have been the Rams.

* Current Rams tracker:
Robert Quinn and Aaron Donald were both picked to play for the Cowboys, ER, Michael Irvin's team, in Sunday's Pro Bowl (ESPN, 7 pm Central). Irvin picked ALL seven Cowboys players sent to the game for his team, which is coached by Jason Garrett. Irvin also picked former Cowboy Demarcus Ware; I think the only former Cowboy he missed out on was Martellus Bennett. Lots of pass-rushing power on this team, which also has Clay Matthews, Von Miller, Elvis Dumervil, Sheldon Richardson, Geno Atkins and Cameron Wake.

* Former Rams tracker:
- More ex-Rams coaches on the move:
  - Greg Olson joins the Jagwires as offensive coordinator;
  - Bill Kollar joins the Broncos as their defensive line coach;
  - Derius Swinton joins the Bears as assistant special teams coach.

Former Rams head coach Mike Martz and current QB coach Frank Cignetti both interviewed for the offensive coordinator position in Cleveland, but lost out to a 36-year-old who has never called plays at any level and guided Derek Carr to a whopping 5.5-yards-per-attempt passing average last year, the worst in the league. So, Jeff Fisher probably can't make the most questionable OC hire of the offseason, though there's still plenty of time.
