| Footballguys view: Gray is the guy to perhaps keep around on the practice squad. He's big, athletic and fast. However, the converted college quarterback has had a rough transition to tight end/fullback in the pros. |

Tennessee Titans LB Zac Diles is expected to compete with LBs Will Witherspoon, Gerald McRath and Zach Brown for one of the starting outside linebacker jobs.
| Footballguys view: Diles is oft-injured at this point in his career and would be better as a quality reserve player. He started 30 games for the Texans from 2008-2010 but is no longer capable of maintaining that workload. |

| Footballguys view: Onobun failed to impress as a 'basketball to football' TE, but is extremely athletic and may get a look from another team. However, work ethic and attitude problems held him back in St. Louis. He'll have to mature in order to play up to his potential. Toston had some decent runs in the preseason, but with the addition of Cadillac Williams and Jerious Norwood the team didn't have any room for him. |

Rams | Zac Diles at weakside linebacker Sat Jul 30, 10:56 AM
The St. Louis Rams anticipate newly added LB Zac Diles will start at weakside linebacker for them. Diles has experience starting at both outside linebacker and middle linebacker positions, but the weakside position is considered his most natural.
| Footballguys view: Diles is officially an excellent deep sleeper in IDP leagues. He should be a three-down backer and he is a proven producer on the field from his time with the Texans. |

Rams | Zac Diles agrees to terms Fri Jul 29, 04:23 PM
The St. Louis Rams have agreed to terms with free-agent LB Zac Diles (Texans) on a one-year deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Diles will start at one of the two open OLB positions in the Rams defense, and he could be a three-down LB. He has always been productive when he has been on the field, and Diles could be a nice sleeper to stash away in deep IDP leagues. |
