He, Chris Long, Cortland Finnegan, Robert Quinn locked up....Brockers, Janoris Jenkins, Trumaine Johnson comin in as rookies. I like the way our defense is shaping up.

Lil Animal!!! Good job by Rams to get him inked up for the long term. One of my fav Buckeyes.

That defense is coming together nicely, but the other side of the ball needs to make strides still.

Very underrated linebacker.

That defense is coming together nicely. Their offense is a trainwreck right now, but they have a developing defense and lots of picks to play with in the future.

They're a safety, cb and weakside backer away from being a top tier defense.

I don't think so. I think people make him out to be better than he really is. Not bad, but he's not great either.

fixed that for you

Lil animal is very good, not sure why you think this.

At $41.5 mil, he must have jumped all over that offer.

like it were a pile of money ;)

This. Nothing special about lil Hawk....Animal....whatever. 5th best ILB in NFCW for my money. Maybe that new front will work wonders for him but I've never been impressed with his game. He's like AJ Hawk 2.0

Seeing as there are only 3 other teams in the NFCW besides the Rams that is quite a statement. They must all be on Arizona and SF because Seattle is going with a rookie.

Well SF has P-Willie and NaVorro Bowman, Zona has Daryl Washington. Not sure who the other two would be.

did he at least learn how to shed blocks once he got to st. louis? I haven't followed him really since he got to the NFL.

Perhaps not, since some of you are implying that he's overrated.

I would take Paris Lennon over him still

hell you could argue Larry Grant as well

I guess the implication is the Rams must be pretty stupid to pay him that kind of money.

Pile jumpers get paid!

Compared to what Daryl Washington is getting, this deal looks kinda dumb now.

Can we have Paris back? Please?

6 years, $36 for Daryl Washington is better than 5 years, $41 for Laurinaitis.

paying less money for a better player is always a good thing

You guys are all fuckheads. Laurinaitis is the 2nd best mlb in the nfcw.

Overpaid but **** it. Sometimes you got to overpay people to keep them around. He is a solid linebacker that has a good presence on that defense.

Uhhhhhhhh, no.

Second best if you remove SF from the equation? Possibly.
