The Rams and safety Oshiomogho Atogwe continue to work on a contract for the restricted free agent, according to a source.
St. Louis is still trying to sign Atogwe to a long-term deal. They risk losing him after he didn't sign his restricted tender offer.
If the sides don't reach a multi-year deal, then they have until midnight on June 1 to decide whether or not to place a high tender on Atogwe to keep him; otherwise he becomes an unrestricted free agent.

Rams coach Steve Spagnuolo says that, for now, veteran quarterback A.J. Feeley is ahead of No. 1 overall pick Sam Bradford on the team's depth chart.
"If we played a game today," he said Thursday, "A.J. (Feeley) would be our quarterback."

Rams Rookie Robbed At Gunpoint
Rams rookie wide receiver Mardy Gilyard was robbed at gunpoint by two men near the University of Cincinnati campus on Monday night.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reported that Gilyard was robbed of $300 cash and about $1,000 worth of jewelry.
Normally, Gilyard would be working out in St. Louis, but the senior won't graduate until June 12th and NFL rules bar him from offseason activities until then.
The Rams drafted the receiver in the fourth round.
Steven Jackson Says He'll Be Ready For Camp
Rams running back Steven Jackson says he'll be ready for the team's training camp.
He had surgery a month ago to repair a herniated disk in his back.
Jackson is unable to practice, but coach Steve Spagnuolo said he's hoping Jackson can "get some OTAs at the end" of the schedule in mid-June.
"I'm still in shape," Jackson said. "Although I'm not on the field running and cutting, those things come naturally. My wind is still there. I make sure I get in the pool. That allows me to keep my endurance up and stay in shape."
Cowboys, Rams Complete Carpenter-Barron Swap
The Cowboys have traded linebacker Bobby Carpenter to the Rams for tackle Alex Barron.
The swap was rumored for a number of days.
Carpenter, the 18th pick in 2006 for the Cowboys, never settled in at inside linebacker in the 3-4 scheme and seemed more suited to play the outside linebacker position in a 4-3 alignment.
Cowboys To Trade Carpenter To Rams For OT Barron
The Cowboys are preparing to trade LB Bobby Carpenter to Rams for OT Alex Barron.
Both Carpenter and Barron are former first round picks.
Steven Jackson Has Back Surgery
Rams running back Steven Jackson underwent back surgery in early April to repair a herniated disc he suffered last November.
"It was a minor procedure," coach Steve Spagnuolo told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Tuesday evening. "He feels great. It's really not a big deal."
Jackson will probably would be held out of at least the start of organized team activities in a few weeks as a precaution.
Bradford Makes Impression In Practice Debut

St. Louis coach Steve Spagnuolo complimented Bradford's poise and take-charge attitude.
Bradford refused to campaign for the starting job and Spagnuolo was noncommittal about the team's plans.
The Rams took Bradford with the No. 1 pick last week.
