Desperate times call for desperate measures. Can we not afford to try to afford him? Move things around and bring in Decker. Then see how the Jackson scenario plays out. IMO, the Rams are lucky someone like Decker is still available. Hopefully, they will be able to sign him soon.
KC has a backup tackle asking for a trade.

Not sure he is any good though. I know nothing about him. Probably better to rely on Trost and Vet.

What keeps crazy away is your brain. You do not pick them.
Like I said, maybe he is stupid.
I tho
I thought I read the reason he asked for a trade was because the kitty kats drafted his replacement. Something about being the starter for 10 years and then overnight I’m not. It may not be a money issue but rather a playing time issue.
AI google says the below. Also, didn't know he played through injuries last season. Would help explain his average play... maybe.
Yeah, I read something about their "plans weren't aligning". That could also mean money but playing time was the reason given.
That's what I was saying, if we sign Decker he is our starter in my mind no matter what happens. I'm guessing Rams are waiting to find out the whole truth and will make a swift decision once everything is out.
“Starting LT job” is another way of saying “starting LT money”.
It’s money - it’s always money
It’s money - it’s always money
Unless you actually witnessed the altercation you are just speculating. Due Process must be served and possibly a trial must determine him to be responsible by virtue of a unanimous verdict by his peers. Might be wise to have that trial before you destroy this man’s career based on rumors and as yet unsubstantiated claims. He gets the benefit of the doubt just like anyone accused.

Could a ring be in the picture as a starting LT ?

I agree with you completely, and this is coming from someone who ran a domestic violence unit for a prosecutor's office. There are serious inconsistencies in the story as it sits right now. How does he throw her phone and then she immediately starts recording on a second phone? How many people actually have a second phone ready to go like that? And what is the motive for recording in the first place? There will almost certainly be a payday for the accuser.
The sad part is that he put himself in that situation, period. It is highly likely this goes away on the criminal side, but the NFL is unforgiving when it comes to domestic violence, and he already has a strike against him. I would expect a 6 game suspension, likely appealed down to 4 depending on how the criminal charges resolve. In my opinion we are looking at a stopgap situation for at least 4 games, possibly 8.

I appreciate this sentiment but that's not how things work.
Legally he is supposed to get the benefit of the doubt. This does not extend beyond our legal system. Innocent until proven guilty was built into our nation as a way to constrain STATE POWER.
You can argue that we should extend this beyond his legal rights but that's just not how things work nor should it be if we want a functioning capitalistic society. Private individuals and companies have different stakes (say reputational and lack of trust) and choose to act in different ways (ie, NFL's punishment system).

I'd guess we need to move fast. There are a few other teams in need of a LT.Desperate times call for desperate measures. Can we not afford to try to afford him?

Where there is fire.... 2nd time makes it a character issue and we don't do players who get arrested twice guilty or not. I guess he doesn't have the smarts to be smarter than putting his money, career and reputation on the line.
Rams might Have to count on defense and a stout running game and tight end sets to get through this. Unless his replacement is crushing it. Then we might see fireworks. Let's see how much punishment Stafford takes. We went from favorites to a torn achilles before the season Even started. Go Rams.

Nowhere does it state that. A lot of people have pet cameras these days. I have one. I have to click a button on it when I leave/want it to record. It was her home, so I imagine tablets/laptops are around. Everything has a camera now.

Fair enough, that is a good point. I did not fully account for how much the digital environment has changed since I was prosecuting these cases about 12 years ago. Cameras really are everywhere now.
That said, it does not change the core issue. The huge majority of these cases never see a plea deal, let alone a trial, especially when there is a financial incentive for the victim not to show up. That is the part that tends to decide how these play out.

I destroy a man's career? What the actual fuck are you talking about?
.... All I did was give my opinion on things and even said he should get due process. However the NFL isn't the legal system. They'll protect the shield first and foremost. He's not a first offender with them so if they dislike the optics, they can suspend him when they deem fit. Not fair, but the NFL is gonna do what the NFL wants to do. By the way I'm not the dumbass responsible for him being in that situation.
