Well yeah that is a shocker. I think he still has a couple of good years left in him. I hope Pioli tries to reach him.
I say get him if we could sign him for two years and a reasonable salary. Pace has had problems staying healthy, but it's worth the risk IMO.

I do not see any reason why he would not be able to go from LT to RT hehe.
This probably locks up St. Louis taking LT with the #2 pick.
YA your probably right.Quote:

Wouldn't mind having either of them. Also I read that Jason Brown's contract with the rams was disapproved by the league, but it'll probably be worked out.
Any idea what got it Disapproved?Quote:

We will not be willing to pay what other teams that need a LT will offer him.
I agree, but I wonder if any team will take a chance with him at LT with his injury record? I hope he goes to a team as the RT. I think he could last a couple years longer at RT then LT now a days.Quote:

He lives in St. Peters. I have to believe KC would be his first choice.Quote:

EDIT: actually, I just realized he's only played in 23 games the past 3 seasons... that might be a bit too injury prone to pay him much of anything.
True, but he started 14 of 16 games last season. So maybe he is all better hehe?Quote:

I think he's looking for his last payday before calling it quits.
35% chance he arrives in KC if I had to throw up pct.
He can play somewhere. Just not in KC
If we can get 2 Willie Roaf type years out of Orlando Pace, than Im all for it. Lets get Orlando!

I personally think Pace would be an excellent pick up. I think it would definitely help Cassel in the pocket, and would help our running backs greatly.
I think Pace would be great if Albert is HAPPY going to RT...IT also would show we want to win NOW, and maybe are keeping LJ/Tony to do so...if we did this and kept our guys...this is what I could see our lineup like....
Qb Cassel
RB LJ/Charles(3rd down back, speed guy)
WR Bowe/Bradley/Franklin
TE Gonzo/Cottam
LT Pace /LG Waters/ C Eric Wood(3rd round) /RG Niswanger or Herb Taylor/ RT Albert
DE's Dorsey/Turk
NT Tank
LB's Curry(3rd overall) DJ/Vrabel/Hali
CB's.: Flowers/Carr /Leggett and Daniels 3 and 4
S: Pollard/Page backups Morgan/Mcgraw
K Barth
P Colquitt
KR Kevin Robinson/Jamaal Charles
PR Kevin Robinson
this means 1st pick Curry, 3rd rounder Eric Wood
This roster above could win in the AFC West, just maybe not with the schedule they have, which means Pace may not happen if they dont think that this is a winning roster...
I honestly think this is as close to an opening day starting roster as it gets.
Why not just have Pace play RT???????? Who cares if he wants LT money? GIVE IT TO HIM, with a injury clause built into the contract to cover our butts.
We have SO much Cap room we can afford to overpay for Pace, but if he stays healthy and plays every game then we would be getting a HELL of a deal.
I say give him a 2 year 2-4 mil contract with a injury clause built into it.
I'd like to get both Pace and Holt, actually. Come on guys, it's just a 4 hour trip down 70.
I say we are closer to Curry now. STL HAS, to go for an OL now.
I gotta figure there's a reason that the Rams let him go.
My thoughts exactly.Quote:
