FA Signing: Rams Pickup FB Karney

[Coachnorm]

The St. Louis Rams finally have a full backfield after reaching a three-year contract agreement with fullback Mike Karney on Tuesday night.
Karney agreed to a three-year, $3.6 million contract that includes $1.2 million in guarantees, according to a source. The Rams have been struggling at that position since they released Madison Hedgecock in 2007. Hedgecock ended up becoming a Pro Bowl alternate for the New York Giants last season.

This will ONLY help Steven Jackson. Now he has a solid blocking FB and if they get a solid OT in draft....his numbers will be much improved.

Jackson still needs to learn how to run between the guards, so yes an OT will help on his usual trips to the sideline.
