In addition to Barry Cofield, Pro Football Weekly "hears" that the Rams may be interested in S Quintin Mikell and LB Ben Leber in free agency. Leber would only be a stopgap solution, but he can play all three linebacker positions and both outside spots are need areas for St. Louis. The Mikell connection is obvious; he played for Steve Spagnuolo in Philadelphia. Mikell is entering his age 31-season, however, and the Rams haven't had success with veteran free agent pickups at safety under the Spags/Billy Devaney regime.
