Rams Sign Blocking TE Bajema To Boost Running Game

St. Louis Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo knows what he has in running back Steven Jackson, and wants to maximize his potential in the run game. Spagnuolo continued to build his roster as such today with the signing of TE Billy Bajema, a free agent from the San Francisco 49ers. Terms of his contract have not been released as of this posting.
Bajema is known around the league as a purely blocking TE, he started in a career-high 10 games in 2008, and appeared in all 16 contests but caught only two passes for 34 yards. He had no receptions in each of the previous two seasons. As a rookie, Bajema had a five receptions for 54 yards.

He joins Eric Butler, Daniel Fells, and projected starter Joe Klopfenstein on the St. Louis roster. Bajema will fill the void of recently released TE Anthony Becht.
