Na'il Diggs going to Rams.

The St. Louis Rams are reportedly about to sign free agent linebacker Na'il Diggs.

Our old friend Aaron Wilson tweets that Diggs is on the verge of signing a two-year deal with the Rams.

Diggs, who will turn 32 in July, played from 2006 to 2009 with the Carolina Panthers and from 2000 to 2005 with the Green Bay Packers. In 2009 he appeared in 14 games and started 11 for the Panthers.

A week ago Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that Diggs and the Rams were close. It's taken a week to get from "close" to "on the verge," but it appears that it won't be too much longer until it's done.

Diggs is a guy that it almost seems like wherever he signs, he's the starter, but everyone knows he'll be replaced. He's got that stop-gap swagger.

agreed... he's solid but not flashy. makes all the plays he needs to and should make... but doesnt do too many eye popping things or amass insane stats!

Rams sure do like our LBs

Between the Rams and the Bears most of our castaways knows they are gonna get a chance with ether of these teams. Also it has not worked out very well for those teams ether. I really thought Spoon was gonna be a star and boy did he implode.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
