OFFICIAL 2021 Free agency, cuts, trades, and more

[Allen2McVay]

Yes they are. I hope they fail miserably. Fuck that bitch ass team and all their new additions.

Couple thoughts.

First, maybe I am miss reading this but you seem to harbor some negative feelings towards the New England Patriots.

Beyond that, despite all their prior successes, teams that have this type of cap space to spend are usually teams that have done an awful job of drafting.

People sometimes assume that given all the Super Bowls, New England has done a great job of drafting. Not true. The Patriots and Belichick have had a ton of bad drafts.

Finally, when teams spend a lot and early in Free Agency, like the Patriots are doing, it rarely works out well.

Remember the Eagles Dream Team late in Andy Reid’s career? That was a dream all right. A Nightmare.

Think of the former-Redskins numerous forays into free agency. Here in NYC, the Jets have had two separate huge free-agent-investment years when they were coming off horrible seasons. Both times, they actually got worse the next year.

Damn, they're not fucking around. Excellent TEs for New England now.

Plus they drafted 2 TE's in the 3rd round last year

 

[Neil039]

Are the Patriot’s trying to re-create the past success of their two-TE system with Gronkowski and Hernandez?

Well if they get a decent QB or at least one who can complete passes.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Snead and Co. will work it out. Don't see Kupp being part of it outside of a restructure.
Wouldn't be mad if they trade him for Staffords old center out of Detroit. lol
We have 2 more WR's like Kupp. We sure as heck don't have a C .lol

Totally disagree with that assessment of we have 2 more WRs like Kupp. Kupp is a beast of a WR. Jefferson hasn't done enough consistently to be put at that level. Woods isn't exactly the same as Kupp. Kupp is harder to tackle in my opinion, but both are YAC monsters which the more you have, the merrier as well. For those of you willing to trade Kupp so easily, you folks are nuts in my opinion. You don't get rid of talent like him unless you are getting diminishing returns.

Brocker or Havenstien but not Woods. Woods is the #1 receiver on the Rams and you don't trade your #1 receiver.

Agreed,but The Rams might need another type of WR.Bigger or faster.
Needs to be addressed a trade and signing I could see happening,but Robert Woods is such a good mentor & Ram.
Brockers & Hav are solid as well,but Brockers was out the door & Big Rob
could bring value & cap space.

I would be thrilled to see the Rams trade Kupp (As much as I like and appreciate him!!!) for the Lions Center even if the Rams had to add something to get him! Sounds like it could be a WIN/WIN situation for both teams! The Rams get the Center they need who also is very familiar/
acquainted with Stafford AND the Lions get Goff’s Favorite WR!!!

I've been making to scenarios like this for the longest time I've repeatedly posted that. Ragnow and a pick for Coop and then sign a cheaper receiver like Jones it's essentially a 3 for 1 or Orlando Brown (I know he wants to play LT) for Kupp honestly the rumor that was floating yesterday was:

Orlando Brown
For
DJ Chark and picks

I'd take Coop over Chark maybe I'm biased and I think he would be more of an asset for Jackson.

I would't offer any more than a straight-up trade as Kupp is signed thru the end of 2023 while Ragnow becomes a free agent after the 2021 season, ... we'd need to extend him pretty quickly. jmo.

LOL I hear ya buddy.
I wouldn't want to trade Kupp, unless we were getting something tremendous in return.

LOL to the Hags! Man, has there defense gotten worse since the season ended? Griffin and Dunlap gone. They had terrible D until they signed Dunlap.

[Checkmate]

Well, that sucks.

Sucks yes, but fully expected. They need to infuse low cost players onto their team to account for the high contracts on this team.

We don't have many holes that they didn't plan for. Johnson position will be replaced by either Rapp or Burgess and Everetts position was filled by last year's te draft pick

I'd disagree about not having many holes.

OG, C, ILB x2, EDGE, CB, and S. One could argue that TE, 3rd Down RB, and Deep Threat/Big Body WR.

Roster as of now is worse than last season. Only upgrade is QB.

I'm glad he got the hell out of Seadderall. My oldest son knows this guy and his brother from their UCF days. We followed them very closely back then... it's been terrible having to see them play for the #12's.

 

[OldSchool]

Amazing bargain.

So we now think Ian Rapoport knows everything?

I'm not saying the Rams will do much more (particularly in the next few days), but I won't be surprised to see some veteran additions in the 1 year K market.

Where’d you get theyre done? The tweet I posted said ”they’‘lol almost be done with free agency”. Pretty sure we all expected a quiet free agency and DWill along with Floyd are the two most expected. I’d wager anything else we do doesn’t affect the company pick formula Snead loves so players cut we might sign.
