Pretty sure it's league minimum because he's kinda on the ride Russell Wilson is on. He's getting paid by his old team. League vet mini is about $1M isn't it?

Yeah that's what I was thinking too.

But wow Jimmy G losing out on the 11m guarantee from the Raiders because of the PEDs, what a doofus. :wow2:

Wow. Makes you wonder what’s going on in Wentz head.
I’d think he’d have taken that deal had it been offered

Well REALLY ? I wonder what SUPER BOWL MVP Nick Foles is thinking. LMFAO !!

Say what you want,or think what you want.The Rams signing Jimmy G is way better than having Carson Wentz as a backup.

Jimmy G is a gun slinger & is going to make The Rams better & give them a chance to win if anything were to happen to Matthew Stafford. Sean Mcvay has & sold him on that vision.

It is going to feel weird wanting Jimmy G to play well in the preseason. But at least the Rams arent delusional and bringing him in to compete with Stafford. Unlike his 2 previous teams the Rams understand he is back up material that could start in a pinch.

One other thing with Jimmy is when some unfortunate team or teams lose their QB early in the season they'll start making calls for replacements. And Jimmy is one of the guys they'll target.

Now I am sure Trader Les will let them know how happy he is with Jimmy at that point. And from there maybe those discussions yield us something unexpected. Teams can get desperate at the wire.

Thats a good point.

Probably depends on where Bennett is at in his development.

Here is a bit of perspective on Wentz. In recent years, QBs at the bottom of the league when it comes to passing over the middle of the field, are Fields, Hurts, and Wentz. So he clearly wasn’t a great fit for the Rams offense.

It’ll be nice to have an experienced backup in there who can execute the short game stuff accurately.

Unfortunately, many of you guys are Just missing the Point; and sadly a few may be afraid to be honest.

When evaluating Wentz vs. Garoppolo vs. other potential back-up-QBs ... Yes, of course experience counts ... as does locker-room leadership. Arm-strength and accuracy are critically important. Athletic ability is a factor.

But Jimmy Garoppolo has one trait that No One else can offer ...

It's that Smile ... YOU know it ... I know it ... Hate it if you must but it's Captivating! Embrace It!

It won't work against all opponents but some defensive players will see that smile before the ball is snapped, and freeze for just a moment. That is all the Rams' offensive talent will need!

It's the Smile Boys!

Two things come to mind:
1) did the Rams even make an offer to wentz? How bad, if at all, did they want him back?
2) if the Rams DID try to bring back wentz, just how much could this guy think he’s worth at this point?

Wentz really doesn’t fit the Rams offense. He was always bottom of the league for throwing in the middle of the field. He was a desperation signing.

In that game against the 49ers, LaFluer made the game plan and they didn’t use the Rams usual offense because that is not playing to what Wentz is able to do.
