Rams Sign Mike Rumph
The Rams added some depth to its defensive unit with the signings of free agent linebacker Chris Draft and cornerback Mike Rumph late Monday night.

Rumph was a first-round pick by the 49ers in 2002 but has yet to live up to the hype. He started 19 games for San Francisco in four seasons before being traded to the Redskins last year for wide receiver Taylor Jacobs.

Rumph has been labeled as "soft" and "uninterested" but the Rams hope he will be able to shed those labels and help in their secondary.

Mike Rumph Update
The Redskins made another roster move Wednesday, waiving disappointing cornerback Mike Rumph. A former first-round draft selection of the San Francisco 49ers, Rumph appeared in seven games this year, recording 11 tackles.

Rumph, 27, has 138 tackles and three interceptions in 43 career games over five seasons with Washington and San Francisco.

To replace Springs and Rumph on the active roster, the Redskins signed defensive backs Leigh Torrence and John Eubanks from the practice squad.
Torrence played in 10 games with the Falcons last season but was waived prior to the beginning of the 2006 campaign. Eubanks was signed by the Redskins as an undrafted free agent last May.
