Rams rumors: Rodger Saffold won’t holdout


It’s been reported that St. Louis Rams offensive lineman Rodger Saffold isn’t happy about his pending switch to right tackle. However, those close to Saffold insist the lineman isn’t unhappy enough to holdout through the start of the year, according to Jim Thomas of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch.


Saffold is expected to participate in the Rams’ offseason conditioning program – which begins on Monday. These are voluntary, but Saffold plans on attending, just as he does the team’s minicamps, OTAs, training camp and preseason.

Saffold is entering the final year of his contract, and he plans on doing everything it takes to protect that deal and put himself in the best position he can entering the free agent market. It doesn’t appear that the lineman has officially requested a trade, though his representation has told St. Louis that he wouldn’t be opposed to being dealt.

Saffold is slated to be shifted to right tackle after the Rams’ signing of free agent left tackle Jake Long.
