Rams Notes: Dick Jauron, Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson

Dick Jauron

Jason La Canforaย reports the Rams met with former Brownsย DC Dick Jauron regarding their defensive coordinatorย vacancy.

Jauron actually did a pretty decent job with the Browns defense and fits Jeff Fisher‘s defensive philosophy better than Rob Ryan did.

Ian Rapoport adds that St Louis is expected toย meet with five or six more candidates regarding the position, but doesn’t mention who those candidates could be.

We should know more in the coming days.

Danny Amendola

Nick Wagoner ofย StLouisRams.comย writes that the Rams’ preference would be lockup WRย Danny Amendolaย to a long-term contract instead of applying their franchise tag to him in the next few weeks.

Wagoner believes the Rams likely retainย Amendola, but admits that it won’t be easy for them. St Louis spent plenty of money last year on some big-name free agents andย Amendola will likely command a decent contract on the open market.

The franchise tag could be used as a temporary move to allow them to continue negotiations past March.

We haveย Amendola listed as the No. 20 best available player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.

Brandon Gibson

Wagoner adds WRย Brandon Gibson to theย “most likely to retain” list.

The Rams clearly need to find more consistent play from the wide receiver position and that’s one that Gibson has struggled with in the past.

There’s a good chance that St Louis will allow Gibson to hit the open market before approaching him about an extension.
