I am beginning to get irritated by the Rams' inability to sign their own effin players. Joyner should not have been a difficult signing. I love this front office, but jesus man they need to improve there IMO.
That's what happens when the cap goes up 10mil every year. Each year is a completely different market and players want to test it out to see how much money they can get.I am beginning to get irritated by the Rams' inability to sign their own effin players.

How many free agents have teams signed long term this off season instead of letting them hit the market? I’ll give you a hint, you can count them on one hand and have digits to spare. Relax, it’ll happen!I am beginning to get irritated by the Rams' inability to sign their own effin players. Joyner should not have been a difficult signing.

IMO, the TA resigning put the Rams in a bad spot as far as resigning their own FA and AD.It's all about timing. They need to be one year ahead of schedule or they will lose players and they aren't adjusting to that.
We have no idea what Joyner was looking for. Whatever it was must have been unreasonable.I am beginning to get irritated by the Rams' inability to sign their own effin players. Joyner should not have been a difficult signing. I love this front office, but jesus man they need to improve there IMO.

Should we have started to negotiate last year with Joyner... possibly. It's what you do with FA priorities like AD. But here's the thing. We were a bad team, a bad team who fired their head coach. We had a whole new system in place on defense. Joyner up until that point had been an above-average but not elite talent who we were not sure could play safety 100% of the time nor that he would be a scheme fit.
Not signing Joyner ahead of time was as much a product of a bad team turning over coaching staff as anything else. Any team in transition is gonna have an issue signing guys. We did take care of Ogletree which is good (but he was far more a proven commodity than Joyner at the time - arguments about his run-D notwithstanding), we're making progress and more stability will allow us to be a bit more up to speed on signing our guys.
Oh, and one other thing, signing Joyner last year may have precluded us from bringing in all the offensive talent we brought in last year. Pick your poison boys.
And free agency is still not open for another week....How many free agents have teams signed long term this off season instead of letting them hit the market? I’ll give you a hint, you can count them on one hand and have digits to spare. Relax, it’ll happen!

Agents are telling players not to sign until FA tells them their worth.

And teams might not be too eager to re-sign players because they want to see what the market is like, both for their own FAs and others. The Rams can use the money offered to Allen Robinson, Donte Moncrief, etc... to make an offer to Watkins based on comps. Like buying and selling a house. It's way too early to assume much of anything.This. Agents are telling players not to sign until FA tells them their worth.
Which is why I can see us resigning Sammy if someone doesn't want to overpay for him. If someone does (and I bet someone will) then he'll be gone though. All about the dollars.
