Marcus Peters, Dante Fowler absent from start of Rams’ offseason workouts

[T-post Tom]

The defending NFC champions opened their offseason program on Monday, without a pair of key defensive players present.

Coach Sean McVay acknowledged to reporters that linebacker Dante Fowler and cornerback Marcus Peters did not attend. McVay didn’t fault them for being absent, pointing out that the workouts are “voluntary” and that they “had communicated well ahead of time.”

“Certainly, it is voluntary and we understand that,” McVay said. “But as long as we just know they’re in a good place or what’s going on with them. . . . [Fowler and Peters will] be here once they get some of those things taken care of that they had to do.”

McVay also expressed hope that cornerback Troy Hill and linebacker Cory Littleton, both unsigned restricted free agents, will soon join the team.

“I think once they come in, you’d like to be able to get those guys to sign,” McVay said. “That’s something that we’re navigating through right now. Cory was the other guy that he communicated to us that he had something going on. We don’t expect anything to be different. Those are guys that we hope to be on our team and looking forward to working with.”

For a team that is known for its offense, the L.A. defense also has significance. After all, it held the Patriots to a mere 13 points in Super Bowl LIII, a thin silver lining in what ultimately was a 10-point loss.

Tyreek has legal issues hanging over his head. Completely different.

Dante's cousin Mika also worked for us at our company for a very short time in sales.

Would of been cool if you asked the Uncle where the **** did Dante learn to talk? Or if Dante is special needs?

So realistically, since they are voluntary, it is okay if all 95 or so guys decide to skip OTA's? Who cares?

Lol who cares right?

No, they're voluntary workouts. Obviously the preference is to have everyone there, but if they don't it's not like these guys are at home eating cheetos all day on the couch

I no longer give a shit about what Peters does.

That's what happens when you wheel and deal like the Rams did and try to purchase a Super Bowl through Free Agency and trading for guys with only one or two years left. Price of doing business.
