The Rams re-signed linebacker David Vobora to a one-year contract on Friday, according to Jim Thomas on Twitter.

Our View:The former Mr. Irrelevant has found a home in St. Louis and was quite the opposite of his moniker last season. He was arguably the Rams' best run-defending linebacker and looks to have a concrete job next season. The team may bring in some competition, but Vobora should be a factor once again.

David Vobora will start at strong-side linebacker this Sunday when he makes his return from a four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on steroid use, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Our View:He had 15 tackles in three games before getting suspended. He is not an IDP option.

The National Football Post reports that Rams linebacker David Vobora has been suspended four games for violating the league's policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.

Our View:Vobora apparently fell victim to a tainted substance, but the league says he's responsible for what enters his body. His agent Marc Lillibridge had this to say, "David did everything by the book in regards to investigating this supplement before he began using this product. He called the NFL supplement hotline and read the ingredients to the employee. David was told none of those products would produce a positive test, so David began using this product." Sounds like he got a raw deal, and he will be filing a law suit against the drug company.

David Vobora looks to be the new starting outside linebacker for the Rams after the team released Chris Draft on Thursday, according to the Twitter page of St. Louis Post-Dispatch writer Bernie Miklasz. Vobora made 15 tackles for the Rams last season as a reserve.

Our View:Vobora was Mr. Irrelevant in the 2008 draft, so he has come a long way in the last year. He has impressed new coach Steve Spagnuolo this summer, and he will get his opportunity to start full-time for the team this season. The team has players ready to take over if he can't handle the duty, but it looks like the job is his for now.

Rookie David Vobora, aka Mr. Irrelevant, will start at middle linebacker on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, according to the Belleville News Democrat. He will start in place of Will Witherspoon, the team’s Most Valuable Player and leading tackler last season. Vobora will become the first Mr. Irrelevant to start a game in his rookie season in the NFL in 14 years.

Our View:This seems to be an obvious statement that they are playing for the top draft pick, right? The Rams are going as far as to actually place the radio transmitter in his helmet. Obviously, you want to avoid starting Witherspoon this week.
