The Rams have agreed on a 4 year deal with Safety Quintin Mikell from the Eagles. A void was left when O.J Atogwe was released, and here is the solution. Mikell was regarded as the best S free agent there was. Coach Spags coached him before when he started his career with Philly, so there is some familiarity there.
Mikell is a Spags type defender. He is a great player because he is good in coverage, but is excellent at playing in the box. He is a terrific tackler and is a good all around talent. He is exactly the type of Safety Spags needed to put this defense on another level. Having Mikell back there gives us the option to release James Butler. Craig Dahl can now move over and Darian Stewart can continue to come in off the bench on nickel packages.
I am extremely happy the Rams made this move. He will fit in so well. The type of impact he can have on this defense is tremendous. I feel the Rams are only a couple more moves away from being an elite defense.
