Devaney upset Atogwe's name was floated

One reason that Rams G.M. Billy Devaney came out so strongly against the Donovan McNabb trade rumors was the inclusion of safety O.J. Atogwe's name.

Speaking on Bernie Miklasz's radio show, Devaney wasn't happy that Atogwe's name was mentioned. Devaney said the Rams are trying to sign Atogwe long-term, and they don't want any "bad rumors" to create collateral damage.

The floated rumors, then, were not just premature. They were ill-conceived.

Including Atogwe's name forced the Rams to dismiss

goodbye to that

Rams and ATOGWE working on long term deal

Rams GM Billy Devaney expressed frustration that O.J. Atogwe's name was floated in Wednesday's Donovan McNabb-to-St. Louis trade reports.
Devaney says the Rams are working to sign Atogwe long term, and didn't need rumors that could cause unhappiness on the player's side. Damage has already been done, with St. Louis low-balling Atogwe on his restricted free agent tender. The ballhawk is slated to earn just $1.226M at the moment.

Disappointing as he was one safety that would have helped. Can't get 'em all.

Nothing to really say goodbye to because nothing ever got started
