Trying to retool a while defense and most of a team with mid round picks and cheap FAs for this year and a few pricey FA next year and more mid round picks just seems like a 3 year plan to me.
Maybe I’m just drinking too much Koolaid, but I’m seeing a 2 year plan.
1) the Rams could have kept Ramsey and designated Floyd and Wagner as post June 1rst cuts and split the cost between this year and next.
2) instead, the Rams took a massive dead cap hit THIS year and have a lot of $$ to spend NEXT year.
3) they have premium picks in next year’s draft that they can use OR TRADE.
4) yeah, they aren’t gonna be spending much this year on FA, but they have already seen scott and gay sign elsewhere. There’s still Gaines, ARob, and Rapp who will probably walk. That means comp picks.
We just have to get through ‘23.
Development from our second year DBs and a solid draft…
We pull a Costanza, “I’m back, baby!”
