Out of all these players entering free agency, only one has the potential to return to the Rams with a smaller 2021 CAP hit than he had in 2020. That would be Floyd, with a multi-year contract, ... and outside of Williams/Johnson, he may also be the toughest player for replacing his 2020 production. Re-sign Floyd, tender Williams, trade Brockers & Havenstein. jmo.
That would be correct...Floyd made $10 million in 2020. Floyd has a projected M
arket Value
- 4 yrs, $52,427,168
- Avg. Salary: $13,106,792
However, the Rams moved his signing bonus cost to 2021 which is $3,333,334 million & he will not even be a Ram it's just more of the mounting DEAD future $$$$$ money the Rams Org. have pending in the future.
So the Rams signed Floyd early in 2020
before he had his all-pro season playing for the Rams after a less than a spectacular career with the Bears. So do we really think Floyd will be paid the same or less than the Rams gave him $ 13.3 million before the great 2020 season?

Can we afford to resign Floyd?
Solid No.
I don’t think Fox will be a starter anywhere he goes.
He’s not that sort of player to me.
He is an ideal rotational player.
High effort, high energy with some skills.
He ideally works in rotation with another skilled player.
I’m sure someone will pay him more than the Rams will.
Good post!
I mostly agree with you on your comments. I would add that many teams that are far over their salary cap paying very big $$$ to over the hill degrading 43 DE's will love to include a young 5 yr pro Morgan Fox at a much lower cost & then finally eject those over the hill 43 DE's not producing.
Most all NFL teams regularly rotate their large defensive front often anyway so the fact that Fox has been involved in a heavy rotational scheme does not carry too much water with me.
I expect Noteboom to be resigned to a long-term contract good for both The Rams & Boom. Maybe even Corbett? The Rams need a Center right now though to fit with Matthew Stafford.
I agree fully with you on the OT Joe Noteboom future new Ram contract. older than dirt Whitworth only finished 8 regular-season games in 2020. Rams will be lucky to get that in 2021 from the soon to be 40 yr old lineman. But if AW continues to start don't be surprised if Noteboom ends up starting @ RT.
So Noteboom is a very big priority because they have no other LT's. Especially if they take a WR early in the draft as you posted earlier.
I find that hard to accept when they have so many receivers like Kupp, Woods, Higbee, Akers, Jefferson & Henderson all excellent pass catchers.
I still maintain there are no major Ram major sources trying to find an unaffordable highly $$$ costly overhyped UFA center, when in fact the Rams initial 2021 starting center is already here ..... Allen/ Corbett/ Anchrum/Shelton plus whomever they dredge up in the draft/ UDFA/ WWC. I believe your right that the Rams will give doctor Corbett a new contract too in 2022.
