The Rams continued positioning their roster for the start of the free agency and trading period by informing veteran linebacker Dexter Coakley on Monday that he will be released. Earlier in the day, two-time Pro Bowler Adam Timmerman got the same news from Rams coach Scott Linehan.


Coakley signed a five-year, $14.15 million free-agent contract with the Rams in 2005, after spending his first eight NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys. Coakley, 34, was a starter in ’05, registering 42 tackles, two sacks, and one interception in 12 games for St. Louis before suffering season-ending leg and ankle injuries Dec. 4 against Washington. In 2006, he finished with 37 tackles and two interceptions as a backup, starting five games in place of the injured Pisa Tinoisamoa.
The Rams would like to re-sign Coakley, a three-time Pro Bowler with Dallas, to a lesser contract to backup Tinoisamoa in ’07.

Actually..

Coakley would be a very good signing.

No, we can't afford starter money at 34 yrs. old.

But..

I would let Singleton go and take Dexter any day.

Coakley, if he's healthy, would be an excellent guy in a 4-3 defense which we will use a good amount of the time on 3rd downs and would also work well in the nickle and dime defenses where he would cover in the short drop areas of the defense and his speed would be better than anybody else we have.

Coakley played his heart out for Dallas his whole time here and if he's healthy, with all these family-reunion things going on..he'd be a decent redo.

That might have some merit RE. I didn't know he played that well last year in spot duty. I remember hearing his name called a few times in our games.
