ST. LOUIS (AP) _ Josh Brown isn't intimidated by his role replacing the kicker known as ``Money'' for his clutch efforts. Jeff Wilkins retired from the St. Louis Rams after last season, citing chronic leg and lower back woes. The 35-year-old Wilkins had 1,223 points and 265 field goals for the Rams and was a big part of their glory days, including the teams that won Super Bowl 34 and lost Super Bowl 36. To replace him, the Rams signed the free agent Brown, who for years was a thorn in their side when he kicked for Seattle. Brown signed a five-year, 14.2 million dollar contract on the first day of free agency in March, making him one of the league's highest-paid kickers. Brown played college football at Nebraska.
