Rams Strongly Considering Placing A Low Tender On FS O.J. Atogwe?

League sources told the Post-Dispatch late Wednesday that the St. Louis Rams are strongly considering placing the lowest tender offer possible, the right of first refusal tender on free safety O.J. Atogwe. Such a tender gives the Rams the right to match any outside offer on Atogwe as a restricted free agent, but the Rams would get no draft-pick compensation if they chose not to match. By giving Atogwe the right of first refusal tender, the Rams have to pay him only $1.226 million and save about $5.75 million, but may not leave Atogwe in the best of moods.

Why the heck would they do that? Cheap bastards. That'll bite 'em in the butt.

 

They might not want him.

I dont know if they have to tender a RFA or not

 

He's ghost if they do that. He'll get snapped up SO fast,

 

We give Alex Barron a second rounder, yet we lowball one of our stars?


Screw sake.

 

He makes a lot of plays, but also gets burnt a lot when jumping a double-move. He's a gambler.

Maybe Spagnolo doesn't like that mentality?
