Right now the Rams have a problem in PAYING the wrong players

I realize you're not running around shouting about the sky falling but this whole revisiting of the extension by some with an aim of casting doubt on the direction of this franchise just seems like serious nit picking just to nit pick.

ummm, i was just replying to the guy who said the rams had more cap space because they extended ogletree and then traded him. they are actually $8m in dead cap space worse off.

no nit picking from me.

Yeah I wasn’t really keying on you. Just didn’t feel like adding a bunch of quotes.

Still, we didn’t really add $8 mil in dead cap space. There would have been and will be someone else filling that role. It’s not like if we didn’t pay Tree, we would have had that $8 million. The timing might be different but you will always have some of this kind of stuff happen with second contracts and FA.

Not even going to get into Tavon here. But Tree in particular demonstrates that they locked up yet another guy who cannot produce in their scheme, and then had to orchestrate a trade to clean up the mess.

Meanwhile guys who DID excel in their scheme are yet to be signed to include Joyner needing to be tagged. And while I hear a lot of "relax man, the period just started" comments from other posters, there is a history with the secondary in particular where this organization has bled good talent, so it's not a reach to be concerned that it might continue.

I am not trying to light this front office on fire here. I have faith in them. But RIGHT NOW they have a pretty poor track record in terms of retaining their own. And this is something I genuinely hope turns around here real soon.

Tavon: Gone
Joyner: Tagged
Gurley: Extended
Cooks: Acquired & Extended
Havenstein: Extended
Donald: Still Work In Progress

Yes and they have done almost exactly what I wanted to see since that time, and nobody is happier about it than I am.
