The St. Louis Rams have resigned veteran safety Oshiomogho Atogwe after three weeks of his testing the free agent waters.
Many of you Detroit Lions fans have expressed disappointment in the Lions’ inability to bring him in to shore up the Lions’ suspect secondary.
So in response, I’m going to tell you what it means to the team that they were unable to bring him on board.
Nothing.
Actually, I take that back. It means that Atogwe will be on the field when we play the Rams in Week Five. That’s about it.
Now let me explain to you what it is I’m not saying right now.
I am not suggesting that Atogwe is not a great football player. I am also not suggesting that the Lions secondary is a complete, high-level unit. I’m not even saying the Lions shouldn’t have taken a run at him (they did).
What I am saying is that the Lions have as much chance of signing Atogwe now as they did on his first day of free-agency. None.
