An average of 24 million a year. And just how much @LoyalRam are you thing about guaranteeing?

Yep echoes my thoughts on the situation and some of the arguments I made for not paying Donald what he wants.
Although he takes it a step further and is basically saying one great player on defense doesn't have nearly the same impact as it does on offense, which is an interesting thought.

Which in turn freaks me out when people got mad we paid Gurley and Cooks first. It makes more sense especially since he wasn't being reasonable.
Offense is king in today's NFL.

That was interesting.
"Aaron Donald can't get a contract". Really?
Diggs and the others didn't ask for near top QB money. Cooks got a market rate deal for a free agent top level wide receiver which he is based on the numbers. Is a defensive player worth as much as a top QB? No, but he can be worth as much or more than a WR. I'm sure Rams would sign Donald to an $18 Million deal right now. The problem is Donald appears to think he is worth much more.
The rule changes favor the offense. What would happen if they went back to the old rules. What's going to happen with the new tackling rule? Let's see how they call that. The NFL has become all about the offense. They protect the offensive players and penalties the defensive players. It's an offensive league driven by quarterbacks. Top defensive pass rushers still get more than WRs and RBs.

Disagree. Colin is a dope. What was Goff with a bad line? How about Gurley? What was Miami winning with Jarvis Landry?
Offense rules football, so top defenders are more important than ever.

By that logic though, our defense has been bad in at least one category pretty much every year since Donald has been here.
And that was with talent around him each year. What does that say?

This is what bugs me about Cowherd. Sometimes he takes something and runs with it without considering all sides.
He counts himself to be the smartest guy in the room, and I get the feeling that no one can move him off of his position.
