Willie Parker wants to be a Ram

Free agent running back Willie Parker is still waiting to find out where he’ll play in 2010.

But he’d like it to be in St. Louis.

Willie enjoyed the visit, enjoyed the coaches and the people he met,” Parker’s agent, Douglas Hendrickson, told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch of his visit with the Rams. “He liked the possibility of teaming up with Steven Jackson in the backfield.”

But Parker left St. Louis without a contract offer, and it’s unclear how much the Rams like the possibility of teaming up Parker and Jackson.

Parker has played his entire six-year career with the Steelers. He’s coming off a season in which he carried just 98 times for 389 yards, and he’ll turn 30 in November.
