NFC West Free Agency Update
Interesting moves in San Francisco and Seattle today. Of equal interest is the “process of elimination” happening with Kevin Kolb as a result of today’s QB carousel. It appears that the Seahawks and ‘Niners are out of the running for Kolb’s services. Only a few weeks ago, it seemed a mortal lock that Kolb would find his new address in the NFC West, but should Arizona decide to go with a more economical option at QB, like Kyle Orton, what becomes of the Eagles’ backup? Has Andy Reid overestimated Kolb’s trade value? Are teams just not sold on Kolb’s NFL body of work? Stay tuned.
Rams Quietly Get A Lot Better With Mikell
The Rams’ signing of safety Quintin Mikell to a 4-year deal will likely be little more than an afterthought at the end of a very busy day in NFL news. Don’t tell that to Steve Spagnuolo, who’s surely thrilled to get a rock-solid, consistent (at least 74 tackles in the past four seasons) enforcer at (arguably) the Rams’ weakest position. Mikell is familiar with Spags’ scheme from their time together in Philadelphia, so he should make a seamless transition into the starting lineup and be productive right from Jump Street. St. Louis GM Bill Devaney is quietly building a winner.
