John St. Clair, a starter at right tackle for the Rams in 2002 before giving way to Kyle Turley in 2003, is now a Miami Dolphin.
St. Clair agreed to terms Thursday on a two-year, $2.6 million contract, including a signing bonus of about $600,000.
St. Clair was an All-American center in college, but the Rams moved him almost immediately to right tackle after drafting him in the third round in 2000. He worked some at guard and center for the Rams on the practice field, but played only at tackle -- and as an extra tight end in blocking situations -- in games.
With the loss of Todd Wade to free agency, and Damion McIntosh's ankle injury, St. Clair could end up starting for the Dolphins at right tackle. The Rams were interested in re-signing St. Clair, but for only the veteran's minimum.

I still wonder how he would have done at center.
