Kevin Demoff, the Rams' vice president of football operations, said before Saturday night's preseason opener against the Minnesota Vikings that he hadn't spoken to Brian Westbrook's agent for several days. Demoff told The Associated Press there was nothing to a published report that Westbrook would sign with St. Louis on Monday, although he remained optimistic the Rams remained in the running. The Washington Redskins also have pursued Westbrook, who visited with the team in May.
