I just read an article where Gonzales gave the rams a b+ for their free agency moves. What? I give them an a++++. Suh, talib and peters on this team is top of the class moves. Then add Sullivan and nrc plus shields. C'mon man.

Talib and Peters are arguably the best two CBs to switch teams this year. Suh is arguably the best non-QB to switch. Regardless of what some idiot talking heads say, it is an amazing offseason.

Remember, we didn't get Peters or Talib via free agency. Doesn't diminish what Snead accomplished, but may be part of the talking head's "logic".

Agreed! I would give them an A just for the signing of Suh!!!

Selfishly, I wish Suh’s deal was a 3-year, but I completely understand the strategy from both sides, and am glad Demoff and co. have the long term interest in keeping our homegrown stars here. Who knows, maybe we do big things next year and Suh decides to retire a Ram at a reasonable rate next time around?

Sure resolved our gaping defensive HOLE in the front line middle for this season. Rams now have "checked off" the top six off season needs....
#1-Find a starting FS to replace UFA Lamarcus Joyner- Rams Franchised Tagged LJ.
#2-Find a starting outside corner to replace UFA Trumaine Johnson enter Marcus Peters.
#3-Find a starting outside corner to replace the badly injured Kayvon Webster enter Aqib Talib.
#4-Find a starting Nickle corner to replace UFA NR-C- resigned Nickell Robey-Coleman
#5-Find a starting center to place UFA John Sullivan - Resigned Sully for 2 yrs.
#6-Find a starting DL to start @ NT to replace UFA Tyrunn Walker & Ethan Westbrooks- enter Suh

:bow:

With the addition of DL'er Ndamukong Sug & the resigning plus healthy return of DL'er Dom Easley we might see something different from Wade this season. Last season Wade's pass rushing DL was 2 OLB'ers & 2 DL'ers.....may we see a pass rushing DL that contains four DL'ers instead? Brockers- Easley- Suh & Donald .....

Can we also factor in that the Rams did all this after the A+ Off-Season they had just last year???

Not a fan of grading FAs when our crop hasn't played with our current roster. Our acquisitions last year were graded as C+ on average and ended up exceeding expectations.
