Awful contract. This whole concept of the next man up automatically being the highest paid, is beyond stupid. It should not apply if you are not even elite at your position. By what logic does an owner hear "pay me more than any other QB", from Dak Prescott, and think to themselves, "fine by me". I get these guys are billionaires. They may not miss the money. But it's wild to commit that much salary cap to 1 player of Dak's calibre. Thank God the Rams aren't the ones paying this for a good-but-not-great QB.

Also thankful that were not paying Jalen Ramsey $27M!

Any LTs left out there?? Asking for a friend...

This is going to be off-the-wall but I wonder what it would take to get Bryce Young from the Panthers. Not talking about right now but after this season. Wonder if McVay could work some magic or if he’s just broken.

McVay seems to love him some redemption projects so it's always a possibility.

Jimmy G is an insurance. A team in dire need of a QB will consider what we have, Jimmy G. We can get something for him. I do believe we need a good QB McVay can use. We can trade Jimmy G now to the Panthers if they need someone right now.

No.
Not an NFL QB.

Bryce Young is too short.

When I saw him jump to get a throw over a lineman - that made me positive he was too short.

When they have the overall #1 pick in 2025 they will likely be taking another QB if one of the current crop takes that leap.
I could see him then available for a mid rounder and wouldnt mind him on the team. He's basically Stetson Bennett with significantly more talent, and significantly less baggage

He’s an inch shorter than Bennett… and Bennett is too small imo. At least Young can run. But a QB like that would be wasted in McVays scheme imo.


A staple of McVay’s offense is throwing over the middle. Thats tough for short QBs.

Wow Yeast waived

Wow Yeast waived

And Lampkin promoted instead of Witherspoon.

Strange to waive Yeast to activate an unknown DB.

Perhaps there was a concern the Lampkin would get picked-off the Practice Squad, the same way the Rams added Dylan McMahon earlier this week. Personally, I thought Yeast was one of those players that just didn't seem to make any plays.

And Lampkin promoted instead of Witherspoon.

This is just a guess. Other posters can chime-in. Smart Guys like @OldSchool, @den-the-coach and @dieterbrock. Not that @Loyal fellow ... he is an agitator.

As I look at the 53-man-roster, which has been updated for Lampkin replacing Yeast, there are only 51 players.
The above has Kalinic and Dedich being activated from the PS but I believe that is a one-game-designation.
Arcuri was brought-up from the Practice Squad last week but is back on the PS now.

If Kalinic and Dedich NEED to count against the 53-man-roster, their addition makes it 53.
However, Witherspoon and Nsekhe are designated Practice Squad / Veteran Protected; and the PS is light.
I thought (could be wrong) that the two open spots on the 53 were for Spoon and Nsekhe.

This stuff is confusing man.
