Mac’s Football Blog has the breakdown on the Rams rookie signing bonuses this season. Does anything look familiar?

1.14 – DE, Robert Quinn – $5,362,635

2.15 – TE, Lance Kendricks – $1,573,751

3.14 – WR, Austin Pettis – $614,416

4.15 – WR, Greg Salas – $451,154

5.27 – S, Jermale Hines – $176,671

7.14 – CB, Mikail Baker – $59,495

7.26 – LB, Jabara Williams – $49,094

7.27 – CB, Jonathan Nelson – $49,094

Mac says that this practice started when COO and contract negotiator Kevin Demoff arrived with the Rams in 2009. He has the contracts from 2010, including OJ Atogwe to prove it.

Gilyard’s signing bonus was $552,255. Hoomanawanui received a signing bonus of $215,512, and fellow fifth-round defensive end Hall Davis signed for $188,881. Further contract quirkiness with the Rams is shown in the 2010 base salary within safety O.J. Atogwe’s five-year contract extension: $2,100,021.

I don’t know about you, but I think this is awesome. Not only does Kevin Demoff maneuver the Rams under the cap every year, but he does it with style. Way to go, Mr. Demoff, keep it up!
