I could mention Jake Long's name, but that doesn't mean it's a viable option or realistic.

How would we afford it? Cut Dahl, Hunter a few others sign Long and then draft a guard? But Long would still probably ask for more than he's worth given his injuries.

Pass on Jake Long. Keep Saffold at LT. In fact pass on all "available OT's in free agency. :box:

I doubt we'll be big spenders but you never know. As I said on RRF, the only way I could see us getting a big name like Long is to structure a deal like this:
5 years, 52 million, 10 million dollar signing bonus, 30 million guaranteed
Year 1: 3 million base salary(guaranteed) + 2 million SB
Year 2: 7 million base salary(guaranteed) + 2 million SB + 2 million RB
Year 3: 7 million base salary + 2 million SB + 2 million RB
Year 4: 7 million base salary + 2 million SB + 3 million RB
Year 5: 8 million base salary + 2 million SB + 3 million RB

That's a lot of money being pushed into the future.

And pardon my ignorance but is News Bot an actual poster? I always assumed it was actually an automated account that searched google or something. Maybe I'm being assuming too much of technology. :lol:

That's the mystique of News Bot.

P.S. Do yourself a favor and don't piss him off though. He's kinda temperamental.

To me, Jake Long makes the least amount of sense of all the FA's out there.

A. The Rams are up against it cap-wise, and Long will be one of the most expensive FA's out there.

B. The Rams already have a good LOT in Saffold. But no matter what you think of Saffold, certainly there are bigger areas of need on this team that can be fixed more cheaply, like ROT for instance.

I like and respect Peter King as a football reporter but the Rams potentially being big players in free agency is unlikely enough and Long as a potential target is even less likely.

Peter King is normally a reliable opinion on stuff. But, I think he might have gone a little too beernerdness prior to this interview.
