Rams Lose Free Agency Bust Drew Bennett, Sign Draft Bust Travis Taylor

The Rams gave Drew Bennett a six-year, $30 million contract in the offseason. Through six games, Bennett has 94 yards and a touchdown. Extrapolate that across 16 games, and you're looking at 301 yards. But it's unlikely that Bennett even plays 16 games, because he suffered a hamstring injury last week against Baltimore. His status is unknown. Money well spent, eh?

Because Bennett's injury leaves the Rams with Torry Holt and two of the three Stooges, the Rams had to dip into free agency, inking former Raven draft pick Travis Taylor. It's been a long fall for Taylor, a former 10th-overall selection. He never lived up to expectations, failing to ever break 1,000 yards, and had his best season in 2002, when he caught 869 yards and six touchdowns in Baltimore. To be fair, he managed to tally 651 yards and three touchdowns in Minnesota last year, which, all things considered, is sort of miraculous.

That being said, if anyone thinks Taylor is going to improve the Rams offense or offer anything more than a warm body, I've got a bridge to sell you. And if you're a Rams fan, you get double value -- you can even jump off of it.
