So we threw our Comp formula out the window & Jefferson becomes trade bait ?
This works for me considering we are trying to Repeat, Snead's Comp formula can afford to take a rest for one season.

Allen Robinson is a monster and before getting COVID and put in the dog house last year he was a top WR in the league. Love the signing. I think OBJ is gone now but you never know.

Can we get anything for Tutu at all? He ain't going to see the field any time soon.
I know we've beaten this shit to death but this is exactly why I hated Tutu as a pick. If we had gotten Humphrey, we might have had a better shot at retaining Von Miller.....smh....oh well, onward we shall go!

I like Allen Robinson a lot, but completely unexpected.

Goodbye OBj? Robinson has always been a stud.

Perhaps Rams are sending Van Jefferson to Minnesota for Hunter?
Can we change that to Tutu? ;)

Was Robinson cut or was he a traditional free agent, in other words, will this affect our Comp formula for 2023 ?

Did Van Jefferson just become trade bait ?
How about trading him for Danielle Hunter (and thereby reuniting him with Kevin O'Connell?

I was not expecting this - but hell, we needed some players.
Especially if Bobby Trees and OBJ won’t be 100 percent by the start of the season

Some are saying that this means good bye to OBJ but I'm thinking this maybe adios to Robert Woods.
Heck, Robinson and Kupp could hold the fort down until Odell is rehabbed and ready to go by Nov/Dec.
Thots?

Yeah.
Tutu pick was completely wasted. I'm positive.

I don't trust Tutu even as far as I can throw him!

Great addition, I thought Robinson was out of range but wrong again.

I don’t see the Vikings being interested in any of our lower tier WRs, they already have 2studs.

We should have learned long ago to never be surprised by what Snead does. Having said that, I’m freaking floored and shocked by this. Especially considering he is a comp pick FA. Keeping us on our toes Snead.

Wow, one thing is for sure with Snead... he will fucking blow your mind at least once every offseason. I would think this definitely means someone is gone at some point. Who's it going to be?

Kupp - duh not it
Woods - can save $10-13 million in cap with post 6/1 cut or trade respectively but is heart and soul of team
Jefferson - Can easily be traded or released on rookie contract. Is nice player but Robinson is the exact kind of receiver VJ has shown to not be which is physical. But still young and might get better.
Skowronek - 7th round special teams guy that's nice for extreme depth but no big loss if cut
Tutu - would be waste of a 2nd rounder but can't see them giving up on him yet.
Harris - oozes potential but that's all it is so far

OBJ - Isn't going to count much being injured most of the year so would be easy to keep around another playoff run or pass on.
Powell - special teams ace... would like to keep him because he was a stud doing that and no one else has come close for us in years.

Man, nothing like throwing a little more drama into the mix lol. Robinson is the exact kind of player Stafford thrives throwing to though. Physical receiver who'll attack the ball when Stafford lobs it up to him. That's something VJ has not been good at when given the chance.

IMO this probably means Woods is going to be released. Releasing Woods would clear the way cap wise for Robinson.

OBJ is injury prone and won't be able to play until November or December.

Robinson brings good length and speed, with a proven record of performance. This will insure the Rams are completely 3 deep at WR. Kupp, Jefferson and Robinson would be a deadly trio.

Les Snead just said" F" those 2023 compensatory awarded selections that he had compiled.

This signing says a ton of stuff to me......
#1- Snead & McVay made one big mistake on the top 2021 drat selection In WR TuTu Atwell.
#2-Entering 3rd season WR Van Jefferson was not talented & blew a big opportunity from his performance in the 2021 season to be included in McVay's 2022 offense.
#3- OBJ is a no-go.
#4- The position of Robert Woods on this team is not as sound as I thought.
