What the f I just saw this on my phone and I'm like this is a f****** terrible trade. They better have some excellent plan for this guy. Wow!!!

 

[Dieter the Brock]

Day 2 is gonna be exciting

:baghead:

 

[InnovatedMind]

Same situation as Sammy... except now we got rid of our 1st

It's not the same situation as Watkins because we will have way more money to sign the players we want. That's a little straw man.

 

[DLux27]

Cooks is a beast! Hopefully there is an agreement for an extension cheaper than what Watkins signed for otherwise not sure if I like it...

 

[Flatlyner]

He's a UFA at seasons end. Another Watkins but smaller. Yes, he's been more productive, but honestly a much cheaper WR option could have potentially been Ridley or DJ Moore.

 

[JRobinson]

Pissed on this one.. don't get it bro! Lose a first round pick and he's on the last year of his rookie deal?! Someone tell me I've overreacting..

 

[dolphinlover123]

Yeah I feel like we overpaid.. but you know what if Mcvay wanted him and it works out for us, idc.

 

[Flatlyner]

Draft is going to be a bit boring for the Rams at the top, thats for sure.

 

[Adi]

I like this! Not love because I was hoping on a first round line backer and love the draft process

BUT he is a true deep threat with great hands and separation. This guy is young and has been balling since he entered the league.

Mcvay didn't want wade having all the fun this off season !

Hearing the news here in New England and broke it first on the radio, apparently the Rams and patriots have been discussing a trade for over a month before Odell opportunity. Something must’ve snagged with the giants or they were standing firm on there ask. Could be to that Odell was asking for too much and we simply couldn’t pay it with our future obligations.

 

[Boston Ram]

Please tell me how you can confirm this is a "Rental" ?

He has 1 year left on his deal

 

[UKram]

Not sure I like this at all .... must be happy with in house linebackers

 

[lockdnram21]

I guess they valued wr more then LB

 

[Ram_Fan]

That's our speed guy. Picking 23rd this year won't come up with the talent that Cooks bring in my opinion. The thing is he only for one year rental? That's my concern.

 

[I like Rams]

A PHUCKING 4TH???? NO 6TH????!!!!

 

[InnovatedMind]

He has 1 year left on his deal

We can't sign players with our 100M Cap Space next year? Interesting.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Like this except for the "one-year-rental" angle. Rams now have most 4th and 6th round picks in draft... evar!

As to 100 thou cap space, that will be eaten up quickly by contracts for sure and the problem with signing Cooks is that we don't have leverage to sign him. Just as we didn't have any leverage to sign Watkins. Unless... a franchise tag is used on him.

 

[Boston Ram]

Don’t like giving up a first in this deal. Losing too much draft capital

 

[dolphinlover123]

I hope we use him better than the Patriots did.
