ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports the St. Louis Rams have reached a new, three-year deal worth $15 million with WR Isaac Bruce. The contract is expected to be finalized as early as Friday, March 10. Bruce will be paid $6 million for the 2006 season. His previous contract, which he was released from, would have paid him $8.1 million in 2006.

Yup, Curtis now goes back to deep sleeper status. Hey, Bruce's turf toe could always return...

With Curtis emerging this seems like an odd move by the Rams. I'm not a GM though so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.

5 million a year seems like a lot to pay for a guy Bruce's age, even as good as he is.

Yeah with Curtis, McDonald and Looker you would have thought they might invest the money over on the other side of the ball or up front to protect Bulger.

All that just to save $2.1 million this year?

They released him before the new CBA was signed. When it was signed, the cap jumped about $10M (I don't know exact amount). If the new CBA hadn't been signed, he probably would not be back with the Rams.

booooooooo

figured this would happen after they extended the CBA. no way the rams would let one of the best receivers in the history of their team go that abruptly.
