He might mean the Rams aren't letting him play.

unlikely as Akers said that he doesn’t think it’s best for his future to play again this year

Who said this, josina Anderson?

This is the same reporter who said Rams players were worried about having showers in front of Michael Sam.

I don't believe a word she says.

The whole thing just doesnt make sense.
Played 3 years at FSU on some terrible teams, and still produced
Slow start with Rams, turns it on mid season and shows up in playoffs
Terrible injury, reports ranged from missing a full year to career ending
Kid busts his ass to get back on the field. Amazes everyone with his recovery
Shows the flashes of brilliance, and has some careless fumbles....
New season, new outlook, and the whole thing just seemed to crumble
How can a kid with the work ethic to come back from that injury turn around and "quit" on the team
Man, it all just doesnt add up

So cutting Cam now actually saves us some money...we could potentially give towards OBJ, right?

Exactly. And I'll add that the Rams holding on to him makes it weirder. They always move on decisively. The entire thing stinks.

Weird shit.

But... if this is an insubordination thing... I wouldn't reward him by just cutting him loose to sign with another team for the rest of the season.
That's dumb, on my part.. but.. fuck if I'm letting him jump-start next part of his career that way.

I hear ya, but at what point is keeping him (and paying him) cutting off one's nose to spite their face? They could use another RB who will see the field and since his salary isnt guaranteed they could save a couple bucks. I guess the real question is if they have grounds to put him on a suspension list, where he wouldnt be paid. In any event, its reminding me a bit too much of Tre Mason where one year he was a rising star and then before you knew it, he went bat shit crazy

I hate the idea of cutting him. Bad asset management. But hearing we would save some cap space this year, even if only $500-650k, might make it worth it. If the plan is to not mend things.

Keep him this year for insurance, cut him next year. Increase the offer to OBJ with the savings. JMO

What you’re saying makes complete sense.

I’m just pissed.
