On behalf of the St. Louis Rams, coaches, players and front office, we look forward to your continued partnership and belief in our team.
We are excited about the direction of our franchise following an offseason dedicated to our identity of being a tough, physical football team. In the 2015 NFL Draft, we were able to add one of the draft's most dynamic players in RB Todd Gurley and solidified our offensive line for years to come with our next selections.
In addition to this year's incoming rookie class, we have many young, ascending players that we believe will continue to make significant strides. From back to back Pro Bowl defensive end Robert Quinn, the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year Aaron Donald, Pro Bowl Alternates [SNICKER] Janoris Jenkins and Tavon Austin and many more, our talented core continues to gain experience that will help us win the rugged NFC West.
During free agency, we targeted productive young players with significant upside. Pro Bowler Nick Foles is a talented quarterback who is 14-4 as an NFL starter and has the physical and mental makeup needed to lead our offense. We continued to add talent to our defensive front seven, signing defensive tackle Nick Fairley and linebacker Akeem Ayers, two four-year starters in the NFL who had their best NFL season this past year. Finally, it is always important to reward your own, which is why we are thrilled to bring back Lance Kendricks and Kenny Britt.
Last year's wins over Seattle and Denver thrilled our home crowd and highlighted how close this team is to taking the next step. Back-to-back shutouts for the first time in 68 years and playing 13 quarters without giving up a touchdown illustrated what our defense can be as we continue to grow. We believe our hard work this offseason - on the field, in the weight room and in the draft room - have put us in position to compete for the playoffs and beyond.
It's our hope that you'll be joining us this fall at the Edward Jones Dome. Unfortunately, if your season tickets aren't renewed by Monday, May 18 at 5 p.m., your seats will be released as the Ticket Office begins the seat upgrade program. As we prepare to take the next steps to returning winning football to this community, please know that we are driven by your passion and commitment to Rams football.
We look forward to making you a proud member of our Rams family.
Sincerely,
Jeff Fisher
Head Coach
St. Louis Rams
Dear Coach Fisher,
Best of luck to you in 2015. As far as "returning winning football to this community", I wish your employer would show even one atom of interest just in keeping football in this community. As a proud member of the Rams family for 20 years, that was about all I would have needed to continue to root the team on from the stands this season. Instead, I'm sitting this one out. The $1300 looks a lot better in my bank account than it would look burning a hole in that jackass carpetbagger's pocket to spend on moving vans. Let him know on my behalf that he can go straight to hell. Thanks, and Go Rams.
Sincere farewells,
me
