Remember, the Commissioner and the NFL office work for the owners of the teams. It is not an adversarial relationship. So, yes there is communication between the league office and the Rams.

From the Rams responses, both in interviews and player movement, I think that either nothing happens this season or it is a very short suspension. Assuming nothing new comes to light during the season.
If they rule a 2nd offense for AJ, its 6 games minimum, you call that short? I think too many here are hopeful vs where I just don't simply trust the NFL. No they don't need to give any teams a heads up about suspensions at all. I think they should as a professional courtesy and have in the past, but that's solely on the NFL front offices to do that. Again, I think you are a fool if you trust their judgement. I'll never trust them after burning the tapes.

Think about it from an owner's perspective. It would have been bad for the league as a whole if whatever happened became public. We should assume that Goodell was working in the best interest of or possibly at the direction of the owner's since that's why he's paid millions.
Yet the Pats were still stripped of draft picks. I call bullshit on that one, it was bad period and would have shown that the league doesn't take cheating lightly. How is that a bad thing?
 
I predict one or two games for Ajax. And a warning for Nacua. The Nacua thing was good to happen before his new contract. He just needed a maturity check before giving him the house.
6 games for AJ if he's suspended as a 2nd offense of the conduct policy (so badly want to be wrong here by the way) and praying Puka gets a warning but think it may be 1-2 games which will be irritating as hell. Just don't trust the NFL front office at all.

I don't trust them, but I do think the Rams know what to expect. The only people that will be blinded sided is us.

Because there's a chance that what was on that video could have made the world say that the NFL is corrupt and rigged as a whole, thus soiling the entire product. If you destroy it, everyone is mad at the Pats but not questioning the whole product.

You don't think a bunch of billionaires talked about this and decided on a strategy?
 
The more I delve into this, the more I think Alaric's gonna get a 6 game suspension. I'm hoping for not more than 4 but I think 6 is more likely. Can Quessenberry hold up that long? Are they planning on going even more 13 personnel to compensate? Or are they gonna look for help that isn't on the roster right now?

Maybe I'm missing something but given the criminal justice system said this was a whole lotta nothing and the suspension hammer seems to have already come down, I don't see how you're coming to this conclusion tbh

If .....Its been discussed here that Trost being a reserve for the LT post is a bit of a stretch or a big reach.......who says different? RT/RG/LG is much more of a possibility for Trost but visual evidence of Trost @ LT is not available.

David Quessenberry has been a starter for a season @ RT, He has played NFL gms @ LT as a reserve. 97 NFL gms. & 30 starts. I believe DQ can & will hold up for more than 6 games as a starter. Certainly Not a Alaric Jackson but far from DJ Humphries.

Rams will ride very heavy in the 13 personnel even if Jackson starts all the games in 2026. DQ will not determine the amount of 13 personnel. However if DQ did have an effect is that a bad thing?

What LT help can possibly be affordable salary cap wise without causing a problem elsewhere in these units trying to get to $$$$ by cuts or trades of starters to bring in a starting capable LT?

Smartest move to make @ cutdown (if you think like you that Jackson Rams face a 6 gm suspension).... is to ensure you have a back up to DQ that can back up LT other than Trost. So what of the current OL'ers has primarily taken snaps @ LT in Training Camp & preseason & held his own thus far?

I agree. If they were going to suspend him it would have already happened.

I'm just basing it on the overall feeling after listening to pundits and reading articles. Precedence has been set by previous suspensions. I hope I'm wrong. Losing a starting quality left tackle for 6 games could be a problem. If he is suspended hopefully its not more than 4 games. Regarding Puka, I honestly don't see how they can justify suspending him. But its the NFL so you never know. Consistency across the board is not their strong suit.

I don’t understand how the league can announce all those other suspensions for players on teams that play their first game several days after us. I feel like Sea, NE, LAR, and SF should find out about any suspensions before everyone else.
Good sign then.......

Not gonna happen. It’s too late. They would have announced any suspension before now. NFL won’t risk negative publicity before the Australia game. This matter has been settled by the local authorities. No need for the NFL to to do anything. Sorry to break the news but THE SKY ISNT FALLING.

Yeah, ya gotta figure League would give teams adequate time to prepare a replacement. Especially their Flagship Los Angeles team, who rescued the League from a massive sinkhole void in the 2nd largest Market in the Country.
 
Alaric was apparently out today for “something we knew in advance,” according to McVay. I guess that could be something medical, legal, or suspension related.

Well, it would really suck if he's suspended... but guess what.. if someone decides to act that way, they should be disciplined. I love the Rams more than life itself just about, but when it comes to doing the right thing and treating people with respect, character matters more to me than their ability to play football.
