Tyron Smith Jersey Blue

 The after-effects of Thursday???s signing of unrestricted free-agent linebacker Ben Leber were felt Friday morning when the Rams informed linebacker David Vobora he would be placed on waivers Friday.The Rams didn???t need the roster spot for Leber after they waived wide receiver Jared Jenkins Thursday. However, salary-cap space was another matter. Leber signed a one-year contract for 1.25 million, almost the identical figure of Vobora, who had signed his restricted free-agent tender of 1.2 million.The team did not see if Vobora would accept a pay cut to the minimum 600,000 salary for players with three accrued seasons.Appearing on the Zach and the Coach Show on 101 ESPN, Vobora said, ???Spags coach Steve Spagnuolo and general manager Billy Devaney handled it very well. I appreciate that and that they have always been class to me. They just called me up this morning and said they wanted me to get an opportunity now rather than when the 53 cut comes Sept. 3.???They are going in a different direction as you can see. That linebacker room is getting more and full by the day.???Leber becomes the 12th unrestricted free agent the Rams have signed and the third linebacker. He joins Brady Poppinga and Zac Diles, who also signed one-year contracts with the Rams, in that linebackers room. Leber started 10 games for the Minnesota Vikings last season, and has experience on both the strong and weak sides.Other linebackers competing for jobs are Na???il Diggs, who started 12 games on the strong side last season before suffering a torn pectoral muscle; Chris Chamberlain, Bryan Kehl, Josh Hull, seventh-round pick Jabara Williams and undrafted free agent Pete Fleps. Chamberlain started six games on the weak side last Authentic DeMarco Murray Jersey season, while Kehl started one on that side.Hull suffered a torn ACL in the season opener and missed the remainder of the season, but has been working with the first unit at middle linebacker the last two days with James Laurinaitis out with a strained pectoral muscle.Vobora had returned to Tyron Smith Jersey 29 practice Thursday after missing time because of a concussion suffered at the end of last week. That didn???t help his situation in addition to not being able to practice Authentic Asante Samuel Jersey for the first five days of training camp before the collective bargaining agreement was ratified last Premier Tyron Smith Jersey Blue Aug. 4.Vobora said he hopes to be with a new team quickly and said there could be interest from other NFC West teams.He said, ???I???m excited about the change, excited to see where it takes me. Asante Samuel Jersey Green I truly believe my best football is ahead of me. I???m excited to get another opportunity and make the most of it just like I did here.???He started four games on the strong side last season and one on the weak side. He will have to wait until at least Monday to see where his next destination will be. He will officially go on waivers Tyron Smith Jersey Blue at 3 p.m. Central time today, but the claiming period won???t expire until Monday. It is unlikely that another team would Personalized Oakland Raiders Jersey claim his 1.2 million contract.As for Leber, Asante Samuel Authentic Jersey it took two days since the initial reports circulated Tuesday, but Rams sources confirmed Thursday that he had signed. The 1.25 million contract had been agreed to Tuesday and is reportedly less than what he had been offered in a visit to Seattle Monday.Sources close to Leber said he felt ???low-balled??? by the Seattle offer because it was expected they would offer more to prevent him from signing with the Rams.Leber signed the contract Thursday afternoon and then returned home to get his personal belongings. He is expected back today, but won???t play Saturday night against Indianapolis.Leber is the ninth of the Rams??? 12 free agents to sign a one-year deal. In this compacted period of free agency, an unusually large number of Cowboys Tyron Smith Jersey players have signed one-year contracts, knowing they can become free agents again next March.In addition, of the 440 players that became unrestricted free agents 18 days ago, 305 have signed contracts, including 160 that have re-signed.The new Personalized Raiders Jersey arrivals have been noticed by players, including quarterback Sam Bradford.???I think it is nice to see our front office make moves like that,??? Bradford said. ???More than anything, when they bring guys in who are strong players it just creates competition at those Authentic Tyron Smith Jersey Blue positions. I think competition is what makes everyone better. I think you???ve seen it or at least I???ve seen it in our camp. The positions that they have brought in extra Customized Oakland Raiders Jersey guys and where there are more guys in camp right now than there are going to be when the season gets here. Those guys are competing. They realize every day that they are fighting for their job.???Asked about who gives him competition, Bradford smiled and said, ???Everyone in that room pushes me. I want to be Tyron Smith Authentic Jersey better. I learn from my mistakes, I learn from everyone else what they do right and what they do wrong. Just because I???m the No.1 guy doesn???t mean I don???t get pushed. I think all three guys in the quarterback room push me. Even coach Josh McDaniels, I feel like he???s done a great job keeping me motivated and keeping me striving to get better.???Copyright C 2011 The Sports Xchange.
