Well, I was thinking later in the month. I don't think Herbert's or Johnson's injuries are serious. But I don't think Foreman really fits what McVay traditionally wants in a HB (passing game versatility).
Any Trade Ideas/Thoughts Concerning The Rams Before The Trade Deadline?

When you watch the Niners and the Eagles it's apparent we are more then a few players away from seriously contending with them.
We need a serious edge like we had with Von Miller. We also need a serious LT like we had with Whitworth.
Also another interior DT that can generate some pass rush like we had with Gaines.
Then you need Stafford and Mcvay to bring their A games.

Depends on cost. With him hitting FA, there's a real risk we'd lose him. But if he continues to play well and won't cost an arm and leg, I'd be down.
An edge rusher can be had trade. The LT is a Unicorn in a trade IMO. When the 49ers got Trent Williams I wanted the Rams to trade for him as the replacement for Whit. The last unicorn for LTs.
EDIT: I do agree with your post
I don’t want to spend a fucking dime in anybody this year
Stick with the hand you’re dealt - sorry guys - we are not going anywhere this year.

If there's a cheap guy to be had that can make us better, I say why not. It's unlikely we win it all, but you never know if we catch lightning in a bottle. We have already shown that we have the potential to beat SF or Philly if we play our best football. Odds are they'd beat us in a playoff game, but you never know. I certainly would not trade a premium pick. We're not one player away from being clear Super Bowl contenders.
If we could trade for an elite Edge Rusher like Brian Burns, it would be far more about the new 4-5 year contract he'd be signing with whatever team next season, not 2023.
But we'd have to sacrifice a cost-controlled young player to do it. There are a bunch of talented edge rushers hitting FA this year. We're going to have money to spend. Save our premium picks. If a team is willing to trade a good and relatively young edge rusher for a third round pick because he's hitting FA at the end of the year, yeah, I'd consider that. But don't trade a first.
I offered a 2025 1'st and a few players where Carolina has weaknesses ... for Burns, not a 2024 1'st. If this isn't enough to make the deal work, then I'll be more open to your suggestion. Either way, I don't move our 2024 1'st for anyone, that's being reserved for a top LT.
jmo.
I think it's better to take our lumps this season if necessary. The Rams toughest part of the schedule was weeks 1-5. We are 2-3 and could easily be 3-2. I think the Rams will be a team in the hunt for a wild card berth but we are a few players short of being able to beat the more elite teams like the eagles or the shitters (I hate to admit that).
I think McSnead will be looking to go all in again soon. The great thing is that both all in efforts by the Rams resulted in a super bowl appearance
If Alaric Jackson stays healthy and continues playing well, I wouldn't go after a LT. You don't need a world beater. You just need a reliable dude. I don't recall him giving up much pressure against the Eagles. I still wouldn't want to deal the 2025 FRP. We're going to need to start looking for Stafford's successor soon.
Well the one thing we know is they won't be trading for a TE because they don't use them in the offense.
No splash trades just stuff involving day 3 picks. Stuff like Jrry said
I think the thought of going out and getting some stud via trade is fantasy. First off, what's it going to make us? A superbowl contender? Forget it. A division champ? With the way SF is playing? A playoff team? Okay, that's within reach. And what position exactly should we target? Because we don't have the cap room for more than 1, if we even have the cap for 1, and they're probably unwilling to push huge jack into the future after clearing it up this off season. So 5 weeks in, sitting at 2-3 with the schedule easing up considerably, Ramsnation wants them to go out and be foolish all over again?
We went the volume approach in the last 2 drafts and came out with some pretty good players. This year alone we found a stud G, OLB and WR, not to mention a punter. Plus there are more than a few youngsters we fans have no idea what their future is going to be. Davis Allen, Ochuan Mathis and Warren McClendon to mention 3. Zach Evans, Nick Hampton and Hodges-Tomlinson to mention 3 more. I know with Rapp gone, the new whipping boy is Derion Kendricks but I think fans are barking up the wrong tree there. JMHO. And I believe we found a few good players in the previous two drafts. But they're all young.
We knew after the offseason purge, it was going to take TIME. If we can manage to not have a disastrous first half of the season, we might have a pretty good team in the second half. And become a playoff team giving those youngsters even more valuable experience without giving up future draft capital that can be used to fine tune that good team. But by all means, lets throw shit against the wall (fantasy hopes of being a SB contender this year via some blockbuster trade for a future HOFer) and see if it sticks. Or at least makes us feel like we know what's best for us.

What Rams' players do you think are attractive to other teams, that the Rams may want to move and what do you think the Rams could get in return? Not trying to be difficult ... just don't see many viable options.
In another post, I mentioned Jefferson specifically to the Panthers and why, including Carolina's WR-coach. However, such a deal may only recoup a 7th round pick, or a sixth if the Rams also send-back a seventh.
One poster suggested a combination of Noteboom, Allen, Jefferson and Hopkins ... along with a 2025 #1 pick for Burns. Although a 2025 #1 could start a negotiation, I don't see any of those players being attractive to the Panthers for different reasons.
I don't know man, but asking a team to take players we don't want seems like a fantasy that's not going to happen. I'm talking about teams that are in a window to win a championship now. Might they want a player that could put them over the edge like Miller did for us. Donald to a team like Miami. Stafford to the Jets. Something like that. Cupp to the Chiefs. Donald to the Chiefs.
Starting to look like we are in a REAL rebuild. Watching Hoecht cover down field was brutal.
