Earlier this offseason, the Buccaneers tried and failed to trade guard Davin Joseph before ultimately releasing him.

But the two-time Pro Bowler now has a new job with the Rams.

St. Louis is in the middle of reworking its offensive line. It drafted tackle Greg Robinson with the No. 2 overall pick this month and could make him the starting left guard this year, and though guard Rodger Saffold left to sign a free agent deal with the Raiders, he returned to St. Louis when Oakland failed him during his physical.

Meanwhile, Jake Long seems entrenched at left tackle if he's successful at rehabbing from knee surgery.

All of which means Joseph, who hasn't played well the past few years, could be a backup with the Rams. But Pro Football Focus also sent out this Twitter warning a few months ago. So, for gosh sakes, take caution, St. Louis.

Cardinals HC Bruce Arians expects RB Andre Ellington to get 25-30 touches per game



Can Cardinals running back Andre Ellington handle 400 touches in one season? Simply, no. Hardly any running back can, but that's not going to stop head coach Bruce Arians from talking about his young, dynamic runner as if he's the next Eric Dickerson.Via Mike Jurecki of 910 AM radio in Phoenix, Arians said Tuesday that Ellington is his No. 1 running back and "expects" him to handle 25-30 touches per game this season.



Don't pay much attention to Arians' numbers; it's just not going to happen. But it is yet an endorsement of Ellington and a sign that the Cardinals definitely plan on giving him more work after he touched the ball just 157 times in 2013. If Arians gives Ellington just 16-20 touches per week, that will be enough chances for him to post strong RB2 numbers in fantasy.
