Updating a previous item, Rams S Darian Stewart's one-year contract is worth $1.075 million.
It was originally reported that restricted free agent Stewart was tendered at the original-pick level of $1.323 million, but that's not the case. Stewart, 24, is tentatively expected to compete for one of the Rams' starting safety spots. Injuries and falling behind in a new scheme limited him to 82 defensive snaps in 2012. The Rams have the least amount of cap space in the league. Apr 10 - 11:15 PM

Rams re-signed restricted free agent FS Darian Stewart to a one-year, $1.323 million contract.

Coach Jeff Fisher has said he wants Stewart to "step up and take charge" of one of the Rams' safety spots this season, but he'll have to compete for a starting job in camp. A 13-game starter two years ago, injuries helped limit Stewart to just 82 snaps on defense in 2012. Regardless of their fondness for Stewart, the Rams are in prime position to snag Texas' Kenny Vaccaro in the draft.

Coach Jeff Fisher says Darian Stewart needs to "step up and take charge" of one of the starting safety spots.

The Rams have holes at both safety positions. Stewart started 13 games at free safety in 2011, but has battled injuries since and fell behind during Fisher's first year as coach. Stewart is solid in coverage and can rush the passer a bit, but doesn't play the run well at all. St. Louis will be looking for safeties in the draft.

Rams extended restricted free agent SS Darian Stewart an original-pick tender.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the Rams would like to re-sign Stewart to a smaller, multi-year deal and consider him an internal candidate to replace Quintin Mikell. The Rams remain likely to be players on the free-agent safety market. They'll be targeting free safeties like Detroit's Louis Delmas.

Rams declared S Darian Stewart, RB Terrance Ganaway, G Shelley Smith, DT Matt Conrath, G Rok Watkins, and DT Michael Brockers inactive for Week 2 against the Redskins.

Stewart (hamstring) was also inactive in Week 1. Craig Dahl will start opposite Quintin Mikell at safety for the Rams.

Rams GM Billy Devaney is expecting a "big jump" from S Darian Stewart in his second season.

"He showed a lot of promise last year when he was on the field," Devaney said. "He's got a lot of upside." Stewart's role grew down the stretch to the point where he was on the field for most three-safety sets. He's a classic "in the box" safety, and will be worth an IDP look if he wins a starting job.
