Carolina Panthers free agent linebacker Chris Draft was slated to visit the Bucs today, but his stop in St. Louis, where he is visiting with the Rams, occupied much of his day Thursday. Draft is now expected to spend all of Friday in Tampa Bay with Bucs officials, according to his agent.

St. Louis' interest in draft isn't surprising as the Rams are particularly thin at the position. They currently have just four linebackers under contract.

There was no immediate indication as to whether the Rams were making a push to sign Draft. But his visit to Tampa is still on, so it doesn't appear anything is imminent with St. Louis.
