PRO FOOTBALL : Offensive Lineman Duval Love Signs With Rams

The Rams announced the signing of veteran offensive lineman Duval Love on Monday, narrowing their list of unsigned veterans to 10, not including defensive lineman Doug Reed, who does not figure in the team’s plans.

Terms and length of the deal were not disclosed.

Love, 28, will be in a battle to hold onto his starting spot at right guard with either newly acquired Gerald Perry or Joe Millinchik. If there’s a bigger shake-up, long-time starting left tackle Irv Pankey might also be in the fray.

The other unsigned Ram veterans are linebackers George Bethune, Brett Faryniarz and Fred Strickland; offensive linemen Robert Cox, Tom Newberry, Pankey and Perry; running backs Robert Delpino and Buford McGee, and cornerback Jerry Gray.

Wide receiver Flipper Anderson is under contract but held out of the team’s past two mini-camps asking for a renegotiated deal.

The Rams also announced the signing of free-agent kicker John Hopkins, Stanford’s all-time career leader in points scored.
