I wouldn't say Von only left for the money. Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL as well, he still went somewhere with a chance to win.

True but he was already somewhere he did win and could have defended the crown. Let's face it he did go for the money but I prefaced it with he has every right he has earned it. Ty love you lata scumbag...that's how I feel mixed emotions ...I hear you though funny thing is though he was buffalo second choice they wanted Jones not like they wooed him for days Jones fell through they went nuts Rams did wooh did win did develop relationships etc. So there is a lot there he was the Rams 1st choice not a fall back bills got desperate von jumped. It's all good though I appreciate what he did for us but also need to call it as I see it.

I believe Von is second guessing about now.
Nah he has a chance to win and extra cash clear across the country far away from LA Denver or Dallas lol. He's always wanted to be a Bill. The bills always wanted von oh rt after Chandler Jones went to Vegas though lolol

My point about McVay loving his weapons is that I don’t think he is content with Van as his number 3 target.
Agreed Elm. And I don't blame him. His expectations with that unit are extremely high and I love that.

Grabbed a key quote from that article;

If we are simply connecting dots, it should be noted that the Minnesota Vikings are also looking to offload pass-rusher Danielle Hunter, because they can’t fit his $18 million roster bonus under their salary cap before a quickly approaching due date. While it’s hard to imagine a captain and beloved leader such as Woods being a trade candidate, the facts that former offensive coordinator Kevin O’Connell is now the head coach in Minnesota (and his offensive coordinator is former tight ends coach Wes Phillips) and Woods’ contract clears about $13.5 million with a post-June 1 trade designation, means such a move is something both teams may consider opening dialogue about. Woods is expected to return to full health around that time, after tearing his ACL last November. If the Rams could convert part of Hunter’s salary into a signing bonus (as much as $13.5 million can be converted), and balance that amount out with the space then available via a Woods designation, they could potentially pay sub-$8 million for a top pass-rusher in 2022 after losing out on Miller, when the annual spreadsheet ultimately shakes out.
Voodoo. Just total Voodoo...and I took stats.

Straight up.....I knew AR was a good receiver on the Bears. But really haven't paid much attention to him.

Wholly crap! Looking at his tapes he is everything OBJ can be PLUS!

How do you stop a Kupp, Woods, Robinson, Higbee and if OBJ comes back mis-season healthy..........

Good lord are we going to have a great run game.
Yeah dude he's a beast. Difference in him and Odell is Odell's got the gear to run by corners. But Robinson is going to be open all day long underneath, and he's another great fit with Stafford. This dude has a serious catch radius.

If the Rams can pull that off other teams are just going to have to accept they're operating in a different universe. Because that move would be exceptionally beautiful in moving WR surplus and changing it into an edge need fill.

Really hope they pull that off.

If this happens we are instantly better than last year. Von/Hunter is very close production, you can call them a wash. But Hunter is much younger. I personally think Robinson is a better player than Woods, just has more natural talent and size. This is coming from someone who absolutely loves Robert Woods and everything he does as a player and a leader. But he's not the ideal WR type for Stafford where as A Rob is. If we lose out on Von and yet are still able to land Hunter/A Rob that will be such a win for us. Really hoping Snead can pull this off. Even if we dont get Hunter, we must 100% add one of the better Edge rushers still available. Even if that means losing out on OBJ. We must must must must sign a good OLB to line up across from Floyd.

It actually kind of makes sense. Who would go to J-Ville unless they were getting a fair amount more then nearly any other team is offering? They literally have to pay above scale to get guys to sign there. Same could be said about Houston, if anyone was actually even willing to take that pay raise to play there.
Trust me dude, I get needing to overpay to get a good player to go to JAX. But when you pay good players elite money it causes big issues. And the Jags aren't good enough to make mistakes like this and overcome them. Kirk's agent will have a lot more business soon I would bet :laugh4:.

And similar to Goff/Gurley, what McVay and Snead have shown is an apathetic ability to move on after making mistakes. I'm sure McVay knows already what he has in Van/Tutu and if he doesn't think they will develop up to what the Rams envisioned pre-draft, then why wait to improve the WR position? It's a very ballsy and cut-throat approach, but ultra aggressive and I love it.

There should be no mistake, Hunter is a DE. And please, let's not lose OBj.

Its crazy how much better Robinson is than Kirk. Like it's not even remotely close, yet we got A Rob for way cheaper. I have no clue what the fuck Jacksonville was doing giving out that contract. And people wonder why bad franchises stay bad.

Robinson has already had his fill of the Jaguars. He wasn't going back there and the league knows the money that they throw at free agents is not the market rate.

Yea true he is but only because MIN played a 4-3, in our scheme he would be an OLB not a 3-tech.

Crazy that a guy who is only 27yrs old and has had 3 separate seasons already of 12.5+ sacks could be available in a trade. GET IT DONE SNEAD!!!!

Has he ever played a game without a hand in the dirt ? I was thinking with an additional 10lbs., maybe a 5T DE, although I'm not sure he's ever played that role either.
