WVU Linebacker MARC MAGRO Signs Practice Squad Contract
The agent for former WVU linebacker Marc Magro announced today that the
St. Louis Rams have signed Magro to a practice squad contract. Attorney
Jerome L. Tierney indicated that Magro was involved in an intense
training camp battle with a number of drafted linebackers, free agents
and veterans for roster spots with the Rams. “Making the practice squad
is a tribute to Marc’s determination and work ethic. He has climbed the
mountain, beaten the odds as a free agent and won!”
The Pittsburgh attorney explained the importance of being on the
practice squad: “It shows that the Rams recognize that Marc Magro
belongs in the NFL. He’ll practice with the team and continue his
development as an NFL linebacker.” Tierney noted that practice squad
players frequently are signed to a team’s active roster as the practice
squad player adjusts to the NFL game. In addition, practice squad
players frequently are signed to a team’s active roster due to injuries
or poor performance by other players.
Tierney concluded: “Rest assured, Marc Magro will be playing on Sundays
this year.”
