Fraley, Hank (C)
The Rams have added depth to the offensive line, signing Fraley.
The 32-year-old Fraley, a 10-year veteran, was released by the Cleveland Browns and landed with the Rams on Tuesday. Fraley made 52 starts in 63 games with Cleveland and had been due a roster bonus. The 6-foot-3, 310-pound Fraley spent his first six seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles while Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur were with that franchise. Shurmur was Fraley's position coach in 2000 and 2001.

Fells, Daniel (TE)
The St. Louis Rams have re-signed Fells, who caught three touchdown passes in 2009. Terms of this week's deal were not disclosed.
Fells was signed off of Tampa Bay's practice squad in October 2008 and emerged as an effective second tight end for St. Louis. He played in 14 games with four starts in 2009 before missing the final two games with a knee injury. Fells had 21 catches for 273 yards. Two of his touchdown catches came in a game against Green Bay.

Robbins, Fred (DT)
The Rams signed Robbins on Monday.
Robbins reunites with St. Louis coach Steve Spagnuolo, the defensive coordinator with Robbins' Giants two seasons ago. Robbins had 5 1/2 sacks two years in a row under Spagnuolo before finishing with two last year as New York's defense was woeful. “I’m excited to join the Rams and I’m really looking forward to playing for Coach Spagnuolo again,†Robbins said. “The two seasons I spent with Coach Spagnuolo were two of the best years of my career. He’s a great coach."

Feeley, A.J. (QB)
The Rams have signed free agent A.J. Feeley as part of what could be a big shakeup at the quarterback position.
Terms of the deal announced Saturday were not disclosed, but media reports said Feeley got a two-year contract. Feeley is 32 and was a backup for Carolina in 2009. In 10 seasons he has completed 372 of 665 passes for 4,070 yards, 27 touchdowns and 29 interceptions. The Rams may not retain Marc Bulger and are said to be considering Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and Notre Dame's Jimmy Clausen with the No. 1 overall pick in the April draft.

Fraley, Hank (C)
Fraley says he has been released by the Cleveland Browns. Fraley, a 10-year veteran who made some starts at guard and even lined up at tight end in certain packages last season, was informed by the team on Wednesday that he was not in their plans. Fraley said he was ``shocked'' by the news.
Fraley was due a roster bonus later this month. He lost his starting job last season to rookie Alex Mack, Cleveland's first-round draft pick. The 32-year-old Fraley was acquired in a trade from Philadelphia in 2006. He said he would like to play another two or three seasons.
