    Rams Sign Jared Cook (5-Years) & Resign William Hayes

    Rotoworld

    Rams agreed to terms with TE Jared Cook on a five-year contract.

    Cook, who turns 26 in April, will essentially replace Danny Amendola as the Rams' slot receiver as St. Louis attempts to make more big plays in the passing game. At 6-foot-5, 248, Cook's vertical, straight-line speed has been timed in the 4.4s. The rumored price tag was $8 million per year, which is an awful lot to pay a tight end who's never cleared 50 receptions in a season. The Rams, though, are tired of chain movers like Amendola and Steven Jackson who lack truly big-play ability. Cook, along with Brian Quick -- the organization believes -- has the potential to provide that. He'll be an interesting 2013 fantasy pick with upside. Cook averages 13.1 yards per career catch, with eight touchdowns among only 12 starts (59 games).
    Rams re-signed DE William Hayes to a multi-year contract.

    It's a nice keep for the Rams. Hayes had a career year in St. Louis in 2012 with seven sacks as a rotational lineman, and he likely could have gotten a chance to start elsewhere had he hit the open market. Hayes will be the No. 3 end with the Rams. Coach Jeff Fisher likes to kick him inside on passing downs.

        @RapSheet Jake Long has a full day itinerary set with #Rams. His physical is still going on. Was told by someone involved nothing is done.

          I like the signing. It not only provides us with a true deep threat, but also an athletic TE who can bail out bradford.

          If we get jake long it would replace Saffold, who I think is a cheaper and serviceable alternative to Long, although if Long reverts to pre 10 form then it would be a tremendous move.

            Way, way too much money for Cook. He's probably the most athletic TE in the league, but he's very inconsistent with drops and can't block to save his life. I think he can live up to his contract, but Fisher didn't use him right first time around, so I'm unsure if he'll get it right this time.
