Initially it appeared there might be a bidding war for the services of free agent safety O.J. Atogwe, who was released on June 1. After the first week, however, more and more teams indicated they didn't have interest in him.
The Rams were always the front-runner to re-sign and, on Wednesday, that's what they did, according to a press release.
“We are excited to have O.J. back in the fold,” Spagnuolo said. “We were always hopeful for this result. We look forward to having his leadership, character and talent back on our defense.”
“I’m at peace,” Atogwe said. “I am very excited to be coming back. It was a long drawn out process but I believe it was supposed to be that way just so that the right decision could be made. I believe and am thankful that the right decision was made.”
Terms of the deal weren't available but at one point reports surfaced that Atogwe had high salary demands.
