Yeah, I don't know that this necessarily means they'll sign, though.
I kind of am of the opinion that the majority of defensive positions have gone the way of the RB, to some extent. We feel confident we can continue to bring in a mix of young hungry players and vets with something left, and recompose the Defense year by year, as needed.
As long as we have Donald, it seems like it will work, especially given what we saw this preseason, where we're really shedding talent, despite not spending a ton on it. Granted, we've got a couple high-profile corners on the roster, but it feels like the Rams may think it's a fairly plug and play system, and that there's not too much to lose in letting some of these deals play out, letting players sign elsewhere, and using comp picks along with UDFA deals to find the next batch of overachievers.
Compare that to the offense where it seems the Rams put a lot of value in the Right Guys for the system, etc. Maybe it's just our team, maybe it evens out, or maybe it's a trend in the kind of young defensive talent coming up from college, coupled with the de-emphasis of defensive play in general with rule-changes and turnover-focused approaches.
