St. Louis Rams sign safety Matt Giordano

Quintin Mikell’s return appears less likely after the Rams added a veteran to the secondary on Friday.

The St. Louis Rams signed former Raiders safety Matt Giordano on Friday and subsequently cut rookie free agent safety Don Unamba, according to Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Giordano will be playing for the sixth team of his NFL career since being drafted in the fourth round of the 2005 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts. He was a part of the Colts' Super Bowl run in 2005.

The signing of Giordano makes it even less likely that the Rams will re-sign safety Quintin Mikell, a 32-year old who spent two seasons in St. Louis after beginning his career with the Eagles.

Unamba, meanwhile, will have a chance to latch on with another team before training camp. The former Southern Arkansas defensive back set a school record for pass breakups in a season with 17 as a senior.

Rams rookies will report to training camp on July 21, while veterans will report on July 23.
