Ex-Falcon Foster likely headed to Rams

Offensive tackle Renardo Foster, who was released by the Falcons on Tuesday, appears headed to the St. Louis Rams.

St. Louis has placed a waiver claim for Foster, according to his agent Brian Ayrault.

Denver, Buffalo and Carolina were also reportedly interested in Foster.

The waiver period ends on Friday for Foster. Waiver claims are awarded to a team with the worst record.

The only team who could beat a claim from the Rams, who were 2-14 last season, would be the Detroit Lions, who were 0-16.

If the Lions don’t make a claim, the Rams will assume the last year of the two-year contract Foster signed in 2007.

Foster, 6-foot-7, 340-pounds, made the team as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2007. He started two games and played in seven under former coach Bobby Petrino before suffering a knee injury on Oct. 21, 2007 against New Orleans.
