St. Louis Rams: News, Nuggets and Notes at Noon (Thursday Edition)

Welcome to Thursday's St. Louis Rams "News, Nuggets and Notes at Noon", the one-stop spot for all major Rams headlines and other relevant topics of interest. I would like to briefly apologize for the delay in my submission today, as I endured significant computer problems.   

According to an in-depth article from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, St. Louis head coach Jeff Fisher is in no hurry to finalize his coaching staff.  Fisher still needs to add both a running back and linebacker coach.

As many of you know, future Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss, who sat out last season and once played briefly for Fisher's Tennessee Titans in 2010, has said he wants to play in 2012. Moss' former teammate Cris Carter publicly stated that Moss has "quit in him," comments that Moss responded to strongly, as reported here. 

Of interest to Rams Nation, Fisher is keeping his options open regarding the potential addition of the 13 year veteran, who has been selected to six Pro Bowls and earned four All Pro honors.

It is too early to tell if St. Louis is interested in Moss, as Fisher stated, but it is becoming more clear that the new regime is still desirous of the services of Brandon Lloyd, according to Ron Clements of CBSSports.com. 

For much more on Lloyd's impending stroll through free agency, take a look at this.  

Speaking of free agency, Tony Softli of 101sports.com shares who he feels will be the top free agent targets for St. Louis. 

Ryan Van Bibber of the Turf Show Times believes that new Rams general manager Les Snead hinted at the type of player he prefers during his introductory press conference, as read here.  

In a feature piece from St. Louis Rams Senior Writer Nick Wagoner, Wagoner writes that Snead is ready to go to work and shares some terrific background information and quotes from the new GM.  

As for Snead's work in relation to Fisher, Jeff Gordon of the aforementioned St. Louis Post-Dispatch asserts that Snead's role in St. Louis is to fill the football-related needs of the head coach.

Finally, for those who may have missed it, here is my look (with videos) at the perennial top five wide receivers in the 2012 NFL Draft.
