The Facts: The Rams are having Smith, the former Eagles and Giants wide receiver in for a visit today, a source confirmed according to Adam Caplan of Thesidelineview.com. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Smith is taking a physical for the team.
Diehards Line:According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the Rams have come up short in their efforts to land a wideout. They were involved with Robert Meachem, and as surprised as anyone when he ended up signing with San Diego and not Buffalo. They were in on the Pierre Garcon sweepstakes but bowed out when the price topped $8 million a year. Garcon ended up with Washington in a five-year deal that averaged $8.5 million a year. They also were in the mix with Josh Morgan (who signed with Washington), and apparently Harry Douglas (who re-signed with Atlanta) as well. By Wednesday evening, the shelves were basically picked clean with Brandon Lloyd, Mario Manningham, Eddie Royal and a couple of older wideouts (such as Deion Branch) the only notable remaining wide receivers. And now they're talking to Smith, who would be well-suited to the slot role currently held by Danny Amendola (a role he might not have for long, however).
