Akers OUT for personal reasons

[Kupped]

I don’t think this is due to a potential trade. His trade value right now would be virtually zero.

I think he could be part of a deal… something like him and a 4th for Antonio Gibson.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

Trade ? Doubtful, but stranger things have happened.
If Akers is OUT, and with Darrell Henderson becoming a free agent after THIS season, it certainly puts the Rams in a bind. We still haven't even gotten a snap out of Kyren Williams, ... can we expect to see Ronnie Rivers being brought up from the Practice Squad now ?

I truly believe we are targeting a trade. Gotta be a lower cost one such as D'Ernest Johnson as I don't see the Rams trading much draft capital for one.

I'd pass on Antonio Gibson......he got passed up by a rookie. I want a running back that's been forgotten about and has potential.
Don't feel Gibson is that, but not sure who the Rams will target. Interesting.

 

[MadGoat]

So which RB does that mean we'll go after if he's gone. D'Ernest Johnson maybe? I doubt CMC due to his salary cap constraints. I could start some shit on here and say we're trading him for Danielle Hunter hahahaha

I think McVay can't wait to add Williams back to the active roster.

 

[Ellard80]

not good... we are thing everywhere.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

I'm sure but relying solely on a rookie RB that has hardly played is foolish if you ask me. Maybe pairing him with Hendo, I guess, but I'd be underwhelmed there. Hopefully I'm proven wrong if they take that route. I still think they'll add to the running back room somehow.

He’s still 6’ 223 and runs a sub 4.4.

He can get some explosives, imo and is in an awful situation.

I mean.. Commodes?

 

[Ellard80]

I'm guessing he hasn't been taking too well to coaching or criticism.

Could be, although what I meant was I didn't believe Akers was tradable.

I'm sure we'd have to throw a pick in there but it would be a late pick. Will Snead finally trade a 6th rd pick away? Lol

Sony Michel appears to have fallen down the Chargers depth chart. He'd be about the only plug in play guy out there.

 

[RamDino]

What's surprising is that McVay gave Akers all the chances in the world last Sunday. Then he saw Akers missing the holes and ultimately decided "enough". I'm sure the fumbling didn't help either.

If I knew how I would post the gif of Michael Corleone giving Fredo the kiss of death.

Yeah, but he got passed by a rookie. I just can't shake that but if he comes here, I hope he shows his good side only lol

Not a bad idea if we go committee style.

I wouldn't say he has absolute no value to be honest he falls under the "change of scenery type trade" he will probably do very well for another team as a real bell cow.

I read some things that CMC could work but I would think it would be more an
Antonio Gibson type
Or Johnson on Cleveland.

I hope we could turn him into a Corbett type trade but all I want for Christmas but early is

BRIAN BURNS

He isn't AD obviously but would be great to pass the torch to when AD moves on.

And yes for a 24 yr old ascending player I'd eff them picks. That would be a no brainer. If he was 28 even 27 no but 24 absolutely

Could Williams be worse though than what Akers has given us this season. I truly believe he is a good player he just needs to be "the" guy the bell cow and a change of scenery. Maybe a different scheme offensively.

We’ve all been wanting Hendo so let’s see what happens, but who’s the backup? Funk’s gone who else is there ?

Malcolm Brown & Ronnie Rivers. And bring up FB Roger Carter !
