Rams eye TBC
The Rams have made outside linebacker/defensive end Tully Banta-Cain an early priority, as they are hosting him on a free-agent visit today in St. Louis.

"The jet was smoking first thing this morning," said James Sims, Banta-Cain's agent.

Sims said Banta-Cain is intrigued by the Rams.

"They would bring out the best in Tully and allow him to do what he does best, use his versatility as a 4-3 end, or as a 3-4 linebacker," he said. "They like his versatility and they pose a great opportunity for him, which is very important to Tully in addition to a potential financial package. He’s been biding his time in New England.”

Sims added that Banta-Cain has also received interest from the Steelers, Dolphins and 49ers, among others. He said Banta-Cain hasn't ruled out a return to the Patriots.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

Thats fine, I think he pretty much maxed out on his development here. There isn't much room in this defense for a one-dimensional pass rusher. Wow, that sounded harsh. Well, I wish him the best of luck, as long he doesn't go to a hated rival.

I believe this story is mostly salesmanship on the part of the agent. While the Rams may have some interest in TBC, what I hear is an agent trying to get more money from the Patriots. So I wouldn't say goodbye quite yet...

TBC is really the perfect fit for the Rams defense, a situational pass rusher with no run game whatsoever.

I keep scratching my head over where people get the one dimensional stuff or it's friend, the can't stop the run stuff. It isn't there on tape. He may never play at the same level as Vrabel, but he was just about Colvin's speed from what I saw on tape.

he is more of a pass rush specialist but I dont think he was as bad at the run as others would like to think. and those that point to his benching in indy, I think that had more to do with wanting Alexander on the field and vrabel on the outside than benching tully.

From the thread title, I thought he was leaving. When in fact, he's still exploring. SF may be the frontrunner, as he is from CA. Otherwise $$$ speaks louder -- so he could go anywhere.
