Comments on: Rams release Richie Incognito

He’s on the waiver wire but his contract is up after this year. Last year the Rams tendered him and he held out for a big contract but no one wanted to give up a 3rd round pick. Best case scenario for the Rams is that he’s picked up because they would save a very small amount of cash. When he left town he pretty much said he’s tired of being on losing teams [i.e. the Rams since he arrived in '05] so it will be interesting to see who claims him.

I’d love for the niners to pick him up. He might be psycho and get personal foul penalties but he’s a lot better than rachal and baas, who get continually bitched out every week by every dt we play and kill our running game.

Can someone pick up his contract? Isn’t he on waivers for 24 hours?

@heartstl:
Trautwein is a tackle only, from the talk I’ve heard. I didn’t forget about Allen, but he can only play guard. Our versatile guys (Setterstrom and Goldberg) are starting now, so if someone gets hurt, they’re very thin on the bench. That was my point.

According to this board, he is about to be picked up by every NFL, CFL, and UFL team at the same time.

I know that Bell and Goldberg aren’t playing guard now, but they will be great starters next year. Don’t forget about Roger Allen III who has been on the active roster all year and hasn’t seen playing time yet.. Phil Trautwein has been here a while too if they plan on trying him at guard or tackle.

I am sure that he will be a Redskin before the end of the week.

SOMEONE WILL SIGN HIM, HE’S TALENTED
HE SHOULD GET A SECOND CHANCE.

heartstl:
Bell is out with a torn hammy, so Setterstrom and John Greco are the guards, because Goldberg is covering at RT for Jason Smith, who is most likely done for the year. Rams are going to have to pick up someone for depth soon. They can sign Eric Young off the practice squad, but they’re definitely very thin on the O-line, which I’m sure makes both Boller and Null more comfortable. That being said, Richie needed to go.

Richie has been a hotheaded jerk since college – he got kicked off Nebraska’s football team for violence issues, and I don’t know why the Rams kept him so long. He’s cost our team several games with his stupid crap, and as talented as he may be, it’s worn really thin. He has not been a crowd favorite for a while, but I guess Spags thought he could save him (reminds me of Vermiel’s blind spot for Lawrence Phillips). Glad to see Spagnuolo finally had enough – most of the fans here reached that point quite a long time ago. Good luck with the Raiders, Richie, you’ll fit right in!

It’s about time. No team should suffer from “Incognitoism”

Richie Incognito’s exit is long overdue. Can’t control his temper and he’s the Rams 3rd best Guard behind Goldberg and Bell.

Typical Richie… why do you think the Huskers told him to take a hike?

all I care is…..does this help or hurt Steven Jackson’s fantasy value?

I expect the Ravens to sign him. We might be able to increase our penalty total for this season.

Mike, Chiefs just announced a blackout. High five someone and get a gleeful article out.

The 49ers will take him. Say what you want about Mike Singletary but you never hear about any Niners in this kind of trouble, plus we could use the help at guard. I understand this is no excuse but it must be hard to play for the Rams, Steve Jackson deserves a medal for not blowing a gasket on or off the field.

About freakin’ time. The guy is a head case that has cost the Rams games in the last few years with his boneheaded personal fouls.
