Saw that. But he wanted $16M per. No one's going to pay that.

 

[RAMpage28]

No way, right?

Man, he must of messed up big.

Did he get in a fight with Cam again? Hit his truck at an intersection or something?

The rams still have 17 mil in cap space with only a few draft picks to sign now I'm sure if the rams wanted to they could make this happen.

 

[Merlin]

Gotta be a big story behind all this. Wow.

 

[WestCoastRam]

Hey Rams, do some "due diligence" research in the next 5 minutes and then sign him!

 

[Warner4Prez]

If we don't make an offer, it only confirms Ramsey is the target at #1.

Unattainable because of money or other disagreements?

Not gonna happen, but if the Rams somehow got him on board, this may be one of the craziest off seasons for a team in NFL history.

We should definitely be in the mix of this, please!

 

[JerseyRam1]

Why couldnt a pro bowl WR suddenly shake loose like this??Would be awesome thou if we grabbed Norman! Suddenl we would have the best CB tandem in the league

There's got to be something more behind this then just money...
...isn't there?

 

[bluecoconuts]

I hope they make a move, but not at his price.

 

[RaminExile]

Id pay him the money we wouldn't pay to Janoris Jenkins - because he is actually worth it...

 

[Mackeyser]

Nope. Just the money. Panthers absolutely weren't going to set the new price at $2M above Revis when Josh Norman really only had one shutdown year and is 29. Revis got paid when he was 26, iirc and short of his injury year, has all, but dominated year in and out.

I can see putting him near the top, but not AT the top, let alone setting the new ceiling.

 

[Juice]

No, guys. Norman is just going to be expensive. If we had the money to spend, then why not just pay Janoris?

 

[TheTackle]

With so few picks in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounds, their plan must be to fill the gap in talent with FAs. Top tier FAs

I think he counts, this is where being the LA Rams helps, because suddenly we are a name on people's lips, with a huge market. His personal endorsements must factor in

I just wonder what with so much dead cap space, whether this happened one year too soon

Have we signed Hitner? If so, what did it cost?

 

[RaminExile]

Saw that. But he wanted $16M per. No one's going to pay that.

16m is QB money. Ain't no one gonna pay a cornerback that much. $12/13m is ludicrous but I'd pay it with $17m in cap space. I doubt Demoff will feel the same way because he and Snead are looking at who to resign next season as well...

That's where I missed it; I didn't realize how much he was asking for. Thanks for the info.
