The St. Louis Rams have begun signing members of their 2010 NFL draft class, and it's become apparent that they have an affinity for palindromes.

Gregg Rosenthal of ProFootballTalk.com reported the details third-round wide receiver Jerome Murphy's signing, which included a $937,739 signing bonus, on Saturday.

The Rams also got seventh-round picks seventh-rounder picks Josh Hull and George Selvie, and fifth-round tight end Michael Hoomanawanui under contract.

Not all of the details are in, but according to a league source, Gilyard's signing bonus was $552,255. Hoomanawanui received a signing bonus of $215,512, and fellow fifth-round defensive end Hall Davis signed for $188,881.

Sixth-round defensive end Eugene Sims received a $103,301 signing bonus, which was "enhanced" (NFL buzz word) by a fully guaranteed $564 roster bonus to keep the palindrome streak intact.

Seventh-rounder Selvie received a $55,955 signing bonus.

Further contract quirkiness with the Rams is shown in the 2010 base salary within safety O.J. Atogwe's five-year contract extension: $2,100,021.

Atogwe has worn the #21 since his days at Stanford.

The seventh-year safety will also make base salaries of $3.5M in 2011, $5.5M in 2012-13, and $5M in 2014.

To make room for the signed draft picks, Howard Balzer of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat reports the Rams terminated the contract of defensive end James Wyche, and waived defensive tackle Leger Douzable, cornerback Danny Gorrer, long-snapper Clint Mower, and running back DeMaundray Woolridge.

Linebacker K.C. Asiodu was waived/injured, and will be added to the injured reserve list if he clears waivers, which he should do.
