There's nothing like a looming deadline to get things done in the NFL. So with the Rams set to open training camp today at Rams Park, they spent Wednesday signing second-round draft pick James Laurinaitis to a four-year contract, closing in on a deal for first-rounder Jason Smith, and adding veteran defensive tackle Hollis Thomas.

Rookies, quarterbacks, and selected veterans will take part in two practices today to open camp. The first full-squad practice takes place Friday afternoon.

Laurinaitis signed his contract early Wednesday afternoon at Rams Park, and wasted little time checking into the nearby team hotel for camp.

"It's nice to have all that out of the way," Laurinaitis said. "That's an area I don't like, kind of like thinking about all that money stuff. For me, it's all about playing football ever since I was little. So the fact that we get paid for this now is just a bonus. But I'll never be one of those guys that gets caught up in those numbers and such."


Laurinaitis, who is represented by St. Louis-based agents Tom Condon and Ben Dogra of the CAA Football agency, got a text from his agents in the wee hours Wednesday morning that the deal was basically done, and that it would be wrapped up later in the morning.

The middle linebacker from Ohio State is expected to be the Rams' starter there on opening day, and the fact that he won't miss a minute of camp will help his cause.
