"A day after the Rams agreed to terms with four veteran players, the personnel wheels were still turning at a rapid pace Saturday. The Rams agreed to terms with defensive tackle Justin Bannan, agreed to terms with first-round draft pick Robert Quinn, set up a Sunday visit with outside linebacker Brady Poppinga, and continued their search for a backup running back with Ronnie Brown and Jerious Norwood surfacing as candidates. The team also restructured the contracts of offensive guard Jacob Bell and safety James Butler, with both players apparently taking pay cuts to free up more salary cap space. And related to the Bell restructuring as well as the signing of free-agent guard Harvey Dahl, league sources told the Post-Dispatch on Saturday evening that the Rams had traded guard John Greco to Cleveland. Terms were undisclosed. After Saturday afternoon's practice, the first full-scale practice of training camp, coach Steve Spagnuolo said the Rams weren't giving up on re-signing two of their own free agents: guard/tackle Adam Goldberg and wide receiver Mark Clayton. Other than that, it was another quiet day at Rams Park. Bannan, 6-3, 310, was en route to St. Louis on Saturday evening and will sign his contract Sunday. He's regarded as a no-nonsense blue-collar player, but has some athleticism to go with his high motor. Bannan has a quick first step, providing good penetration against the run. And that's what the Rams signed him for - his run defense. With only 6 1/2 career sacks in nine previous NFL seasons, Bannan won't be on the field in obvious passing situations. Bannan is 32, but it's a "low mileage" 32. He began his NFL career in Buffalo and rarely played behind starters Pat Williams and Sam Adams. Until last season, when he started all 16 games for Denver, Bannan had started more than seven games in a season only once. But as a Baltimore Raven, he had 15 starts in place of the injured Kelly Gregg in 2008 and played well."
