I would just like to point out for everyone freaking out that we're going to do nothing come Friday that for all of Les Snead's faults you think he has there is one constant during his tenure here.... he is very good at making trades happen and is not afraid to pull the trigger. I have problems with this front office for various reasons but the one thing I expect to happen is be pleasantly surprised by something they do during the offseason. If there truly is interest in Tru by 5 different teams I can guarantee Snead will get a very nice draft pick haul for him. The man can make a deal when it comes to trades.
Now talent evaluation and locking up those they develop is another topic but for those worried about the Rams not doing anything in free agency.... I suggest breathing and strapping yourself in for the ride.

Agreed on the talent eval, this offseason is almost a mulligan for Snead. If he can pull in a few extra picks via Tru he has a chance to show it wasn't his fault the product on the field sucked. I have no doubt this offensive staff can develop talent if given it. I have reserved optimism again lol.

Sadly it has been really quiet on any FAs coming to the Rams so far. Only thing we heard Rams related is the Tru rumor. Hopefully it picks up tomorrow when FA actually opens.

Looking more and more like a Receiver draft for us, boys. I just hope we don't sign an FA like woods and be totally content with "We got our Garcon!" ... because that would be a step backwards from finding a legit weapon for Goff.

On a positive note, teams have been quiet in general so far. Not sure why but there have only been a few agreements so far.

BuT let's not forget the most important equation of all: we have an offensive minded head coach. Not saying that will fix all of our woes but it helps going from fisher and boras (who were historically bad) to mcvay/Lafleur (who each were apart of good offenses)Looking more and more like a Receiver draft for us, boys.

You and I are eye to eye on this.
A good staff can make a GM look good and I
think we just witnessed the vice-versa.

Most have said that it's LA because of the smog. He's from there though so he could just be home relaxing. Not like he could sign a contract today anyway. Fingers crossed though

Im not shocked by the Rams patience. Some teams have 50+ mill in cap space and are bound to way over spend. Im all for them being smart about their approach in FA this year. That being said, I would really like some help at WR but the $$$ that was paid to Garcon is CRAZY and completely unwarranted...

Slow news day for the Rams but that can be a good thing. We want bargains.

Who's a bargain? Seems like it's our year-after-year strategy to get outbid by every other team because they "overpaid" for talent, meanwhile we wait for the no-name bargain guys who visit other places first and never quite make it to Rams Park..Then we hear "We are building through the draft anyway." Or, we get a million rookie FA's to see if any of them rise to the level of special teamers......:rant:
