twenty-eight Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 POSTED 2:13 p.m. EDT, September 1, 2006 DAVIS SIGNS WITH RAMS A league source tells us that running back Stephen Davis has signed with the St. Louis Rams. Under the one-year deal for the veteran minimum of $810,000, the Rams will pay Davis $425,000 in guaranteed money, and a $40,000 signing bonus. Davis was scheduled to earn $275,000 from the Panthers in 2006 as part of an injury settlement. The Panthers are now off the hook for that amount. Part of the problem for Davis was that, if his new team had cut him before the start of the season, he would have gotten nothing at all, from anyone. By guaranteeing $425,000 and by giving him $40,000 to sign, Davis is better off than he would have been, even if he gets cut. http://www.profootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twenty-eight Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 Rams sign Stephen Davis for one year, $850K Davis visited the Rams a week ago, passed a physical and received an offer. The team awaited word for a week and Davis and the Rams finally worked out the deal Friday morning. With Marshall Faulk gone for the season, Davis was a perfect fit to work with Jackson, who is considered one of the best young backs in the game. To make the deal work, the Rams gave Davis a $40,000 signing bonus and guaranteed a good portion of his base salary to ensure in Davis' mind he would be with the team. The 32-year-old Davis was cut by the Panthers on March 1. During a 10-year NFL career with the Redskins and Panthers, Davis rushed for 7,875 yards on 1,905 carries. He's a three-time Pro Bowler. The Rams tried to get Michael Bennett from the Saints but he signed with the Kansas City Chiefs. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2569091 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
