LOSING BILLY JENKINS
BY UNCLE SAM (Mar 3)
|
St. Louis Rams safety Billy Jenkins
(22) sacks Minnesota Vikings quaterback Jeff George during the first quarter of the NFC
divisional playoff game in this Jan. 16, 2000 photo in St. Louis. The Denver Broncos
obtained Jenkins from the Rams Friday, March 3, 2000, then signed Jenkins to a seven-year,
$18 million contract that includes a $2.8 million signing bonus. The Broncos gave the Rams
a fifth-round draft pick in next month's draft and a conditional pick in the 2001 draft.

I use to live in
the Washington D.C. area a few years ago and for Billy Jenkins to come from Howard
University as a street free agent, make our team, start on our team and win a Superbowl
championship is almost as inspirational as Kurt Warner.
Everyone told this guy that he couldn't play in the NFL. No one drafted him and the only
look he got was from a very bad Rams team at the time. Charley Armey has got a very good
eye for street talent and bargain players.
I wish Billy Jenkins the best of luck and I am glad this contrat is for big dollars which
should secure his family's financial security.
Thanks Billy Jenkins and God Bless!!
THANK YOU AMP
BY OC RICH (Mar 1)
Amp Lee was one of the few bright
spots in the two seasons before this one. He was a true professional.
He will do well somewhere else, but he just didn't have a spot with the Rams anymore.
Good luck, Amp. I'm sure you'll land on your feet and get back to your standard of
excellence in the upcoming season |
