Rams had two restricted free agents ... Edge players Hampton and Thomas.

Didn't expect either to be tendered; and don't believe either was ... making them unrestricted free agents.

Keir Thomas has signed a one-year deal to remain a Ram. Have to assume it is for the League-minimum.

They still have until April 17th to sign restricted free agents - Thomas didn't want to wait and just signed an extension instead.

Yes but I believe a team must submit a qualifying offer (tender offer) by the start of the new League Year (now); and the $-amount tied to the tender offer goes on the team's salary cap.

My guess is that the Rams did not make qualifying offers to either Hampton or Thomas.

If correct, Hampton can still re-sign with the Rams but he is currently an unrestricted free agent.

Only thing I can think of is are the Rams going to make a serious push to get Crosby? Other than that we dont need anything. And we dont even need Crosby.
Sincerely hope not if we are giving 13 and then some for him. Rather just draft Bain there and pay a LOT less and get a lot younger. I'd offer Young and a '27 pick, thats it.

This was posted right before the new league year officially started and this was followed by all the posts announcing each player who they just signed or traded for. So it was just about what was now coming in regards to announcing the additions.
 
What that supposed to mean, their is no obvious thing which usually is what that is about.
Like you cannot miss an elephant in the room... so what is so obvious that needs addressing?
Today is the first day they can officially make, complete, and announce the moves we already know.
