Agreed. I was pissed at Ike for years but eventually came around on him. And SJD is no Ike.

Yeah i know, but once you go to another team, I wish you no luck whatsoever and if you go to a dark side team, they can go fuck themselves for all I care. Once they leave those teams, I love em again

Yeah SJD is nowhere near that level of a Rams player.

Russ Wilson getting benched. Not unexpected at this point - but talk about a trade that has not worked out.

Rams sign long snapper.... Maybe it is the snapper and not the kicker?

I live in Colorado. You will hear a few groans and then magically Stidham jerseys will appear every where if he wins against the Chargers.

Probably a smart move on Wilson. They are out of the wildcard race so might as well protect their ability to cut him after 2024 (without an injury guarantee for 2025) or trade him next year (although I doubt they will have any takers).

I’ll take any help we can get!

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Jaire Alexander's strange season has taken another turn. Three days after he anointed himself as one of the Green Bay Packers' captains -- and then made what coach Matt LaFleur called "a big mistake" by nearly botching the call after winning the coin toss -- he was suspended on Wednesday for one game by the team.
He was placed on the reserve/suspended list for what the team called "conduct determinantal to the team."
"The decision to suspend a player is never easy and not one we take lightly," Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said in a statement. "Unfortunately, Jaire's actions prior to the game in Carolina led us to take this step. As an organization, we have an expectation that everyone puts the team first. While we are disappointed, we had a good conversation with Jaire this morning and fully expect him to learn from this as we move forward together. We look forward to welcoming him back next week as he is a valued member of this team and will continue to be in the future."
The Packers beat the Carolina Panthers33-30 on Sunday to set up what is essentially a playoff elimination game on Sunday at the Minnesota Vikings, a meeting of two 7-8 teams vying for an NFC wild-card spot. It means the Packers won't have Alexander against Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson.
LaFleur was not pleased with Alexander after Sunday's game at Carolina. Alexander, who grew up in Charlotte, walked to midfield before the game with the Packers' three game captains -- Aaron Jones, Quay Walkerand Eric Wilson. The Packers did not elect season-long captains this year but instead used a weekly rotation.
Alexander called tails and won the toss. He then said the Packers wanted to be on defense, which is not the same as choosing to defer their choice to the second half. Referee Alex Kemp could have taken Alexander's call to mean they wanted to kick off, which then would have allowed Carolina to receive the ball to start both halves. However, because LaFleur, in the pregame meeting with the officials, informed Kemp that they would defer if they won the toss, Kemp clarified that Alexander wanted to defer.
"That was a big mistake," LaFleur said after the game of Alexander's call. "That's something that you review with the guys before they go out there every time about, 'Hey, we win the toss, we're going to defer.' I went to the officials before the game, made sure they knew what we were going to do. We had an incident earlier this year where we had a similar situation, so always trying to be proactive in that approach."
Alexander did not express any remorse or regret after the game. When asked why he went out with the captains, Alexander said: "It's only suiting. I don't think coach knew I was from Charlotte, so ..."
Sunday's game was the first time Alexander had suited up since Nov. 5, when he sustained a shoulder injury against the Rams. However, Alexander had been practicing on a limited basis but was inactive week after week, leading to questions about whether there was something other than the injury keeping him out. However, Alexander and those close to him insisted it was only injury-related and not displeasure with the organization.
Alexander, the highest-paid cornerback in the NFL at $21 million per season, will lose one week's pay. However, because most of his money came in signing and roster bonuses, his base salary is only $1.08 million, meaning he will lose only $60,000 (his weekly game
check) plus the $38,235 he has in weekly roster bonuses if he's active.
Alexander also gave up a $700,000 workout bonus this spring when he opted to skip most of the offseason program. When Alexander reported for the mandatory minicamp in June, he preferred to be in Green Bay when no one else was around the team facility, so he stayed in town after last season but left when the voluntary workouts began in May.
In six games this season, he has four pass breakups but no interceptions. Alexander has twice been a second-team, All Pro selection (2020, 2022).
This clouds Alexander's future with the Packers. He's scheduled to make $16 million in salary and bonus in 2024. He has an $8 million roster bonus due in March. If the Packers cut him before then, they would save $1.636 million in salary-cap space.
Pack suspend Alexander for crashing coin toss
The Packers suspended cornerback Jaire Alexander for one game Wednesday after he crashed the captains meeting at midfield Sunday, almost costing his team a possession in the 33-30 win over the Panthers.

Ifedi is a scrub.
SJD has always been overrated. He's a backup level talent not a starter.
I don't see the Rams adding anyone unless there is an injury.
