OFFICIAL 2021 Free agency, cuts, trades, and more

[Ram_Rally]

Has limited vision, hands of stone, and lacks the ability to block. No thanks.

He'd be the third back on the team and he's probably going in the 5th. I don't think our third back is gonna be a huge get.

I’d prefer Carlos Dunlap. He made an impact on a line without an AD level player. Fowler never really has. Plus Fowler has a history of underperforming.

I think Floyd gets paid too much despite having one good year of production, like Fowler. NFL GMs never learn.

I like the idea of Dunlap as well. Or any of the mod tier rushers.

I like his ex-teammate Carl Lawson better tho. I just hope we can get someone good for cheap if the FA market becomes saturated.

20 snaps more than Peterson or Ingram would play. Plus not for the $3m Ingram got. I really think we ride with Akers Hendo and Jones. Young, but useful.

Edit: Only mention AD (he's All Day, not AP, and I won't hear otherwise) because he mentioned us and people brought it up elsewhere.

Oh yeah, I'm not advocating signing any vet to replace Brown, a rookie or one of our backup RBs from last year is just fine. I was saying that we wont miss his play on ST either since he barely even played it last year

xavier jones fits the bill of rb3.

and snead gave him props....hmmmm....i'm scared that could mean they're taking another rb in the 3rd.

surely not. give jones a go mcvay. the rams don't need another power back, nobody has more power than akers.

I believe it’s the start of the League Year, which I think is a week from today.

It's actually St. Patrick's Day. No one will be celebrating the start of League Year, except maybe a few hopeless geeks on team forums.

 

[FarNorth]

Watched Snead’s press conference, and it was painful. I mean, I am actually hurting here. His communication skills have actually gotten much worse.

Takes so long to say so little. Repeats himself three and four times; and, his new thing is to unnecessarily throw the word ‘right’ into the middle of every sentence or two.

Still, as long as he makes good personnel decisions, he can repeat himself as much as he wants. RIGHT?

It's also challenging when you're trying not to say anything because there's nothing really great to say. Rams may not be in salary cap hell, but it's a hole, and losing free agents and trying to avoid cutting players is where we're starting from.

A blind monkey or a broken clock could have done better than that.

To be fair though they did trade away a few who would have got them comp picks but most were cut and they just drafted poorly.

I agree but the answer is to use fewer words ... not more.

Snead has been around a long time. He should have figured that out by now. Instead his communication has deteriorated.

None of this criticism is a comment or reflection on his skill as a Front Office decision-maker. And that is what matters.

For all I care, Snead can repeat himself like a crazy person and say 'right' every other sentence (Which he came close to doing in that press conference!), as long as he makes good personnel moves.

It's just he made my ears bleed ... RIGHT?

RIGHT

Texans need to cut McKinney. We probably won't benefit but I can hope.

Also saw it pointed out that Zeitler played with Whit for some years. Might give the Rams an inside track on an affordable addition who wants to win now that NYG bankrolled his retirement. The guy wasn't great last year but that OL around him was hideous.

 

[Merlin]

Snead quote from that last presser that I just came across reading an Athletic column:

“The center, because it’s such a nuanced position of almost being the second quarterback on the field, it’s hard to project that a rookie can do it,” said Snead. “It’s even hard to project a player that may be with another NFL team, just because they will still have to learn our system and at that point have to quickly process football within our system … little bit harder to project than other positions.”

Who knows, if he does, maybe a new OL scheme will benefit him.

Eh, once you grow up if you're not irish who cares about St. Patrick's day? It was fun when I was younger, but the new league year is much more exciting

Yeah, this could be Snead on draft day and I wouldn't care as long as he nails the draft...
