Any Trade Ideas/Thoughts Concerning The Rams Before The Trade Deadline?

[Memphis Ram]

At 2-3, I'm not so sure that the Rams should even consider making any significant moves. If anything, I'd be more interested in poaching someone off another team's practice squad right now. Won't happen, but I really wish that they would drop a WR and add a FB.

I believe that the trade deadline is October 31st which is right after that Cowboys game. If they've got a winning record, then maybe they should look into something.

 

[Allen2McVay]

... 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.
...

Looking at cap sites and their contracts, I don't know that the Rams can absorb the Dead-$ that would result from moving any of those guys.

We can't as things stand now and we shouldn't consider moving them imo

I would consider moving on from AD. I know. Blasphemy. But he is 32. And he’s at the point where he would benefit immensely by playing reduced snaps on a much better dline than ours.

I know Philly has a great oline, but I can’t help thinking a 27 year old AD would’ve been able to wreak some havoc yesterday regardless. He had some moments, but for the most part he was not that effective. He’s only one guy on a line with average ability. Yes, Young and Turner show promise. But they’re rookies trying to figure out the game and the league.

Obviously, AD would have to agree to a trade. I’d try to find a move to a team with a shot at a deep playoff run. (Detroit, Cincy?)

The Rams’ pass rush is non-existent. It could be just as non-existent without AD and his hefty price tag. It’s not his fault. We just don’t have the supporting cast. We need picks and low cost-controlled talent.

This team is not beating the upper echelon teams even with a splash move this year. The guy is a warrior and it would hurt to see him go. But it’s time to see what we can get for him now before he devalues more. I wouldn’t mind seeing him team up with Hutchison in Detroit.

Only problem is you’re signaling to the team that this is without a doubt a transition year. Or another phase of the reboot... or whatever.

The good organizations move on from the legends when it’s time. You have to ask yourself... does this team have another legitimate shot at a Super Bowl before the wheels fall off of AD? I say no. Not from what I’ve seen so far this year. They just don’t have the horses.

I think the Rams should approach the trade market no differently than they would at any other time. Meaning, if a player is on the market who the Rams would be interested in, they should investigate.
As far as trading away players, its unlikely any team would want the spare parts some are suggesting.

 

[Ram_Rally]

I said it last week, I'll repeat it once again :

For Carolina's Brian Burns ...
Our 2025 1'st round draft pick, ... and any combination of Noteboom, Van Jefferson, Brian Allen and/or Brycen Hopkins.

They don't have that kinda time in that front office. 2025 they'll be fired already.

 

[Da-Rock]

Trading now isn't always about winning now. I understand we have almost no Cap room to sign anyone. If a building block player is available you go after them, its for the future just like a rookie playing this year.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Agree 100%

Although I love fantasies (as illustrated by my regular visits to the Boobie and Booty threads ... thank you for your contributions by-the-way) I've never been a fan of unrealistic trade conjecture. Have to consider the other teams' needs and wants; and the cap implications to both teams.

For example, want Brian Burns?
Call Carolina and say we can't offer our 2024 first round pick but we could do the 2025 #1 and ... Puka Nacua.
Personally, I would hate that deal but the Panthers might consider it.

 

[Allen2McVay]

See where Detroit lost CB Emmanuel Mosley to a torn ACL.

Could the Rams offer the Lions Derion Kendrick and a seventh round pick?

 

[Ram_Rally]

If the Rams make any trades I hope they don't do it until after free agency, honestly. See what you have in this roster and what holes you can fill with cap space before unloading your cost controlled picks. If they crush free agency then maybe they can trade for a player under contract to stack onto that.

But the Rams made this bed and I think they're prepared to sleep in it for this year. They didn't have to cut Floyd or Ramsey. They could've kept Gaines. They're choosing to use this year as a reset, so no need to pivot from the plan.

You are witnessing a 2 year plan by the Rams. See what they have this year then stock up for a legitimate Super Bowl run NEXT year. We are finding who we have as gems and who we have as JAGs this year. Gems: Nacua, Avila, Young, Evans, Witherspoon. JAGs: Hoect, Note (due to injury), Rozeboom, Kendrick (maybe another position), Jefferson.

 

[MarkyMark]

An ELITE EDGE would put us into playoff run contention.

That's been the by far LARGEST issue all season. We went toe to toe with SF, should've beaten Cincy and toe to toe with Philly. At the end of the day, the lack of pass rushing really killed us.

Jalen Hurts had so much time chillin in the pocket, I think at one point I saw him make a sandwich, eat it, wash his hands, and then complete a pass!

I saw the same play!

 

[Kupped]

I don't know if they'll make a big trade.. but the absolutely have to go out and get a big body for the DL. Bobby Brown look's like he's out for the season and he was the only real beef they had. Need to find someone. Fast.

 

[Malibu]

Honestly I have come to the conclusion that we are 3 to 5 players away. Brown is hurt and we need an upgrade at Nose Tackle, an upgrade at CB, 1 - 2 upgrades at OLB and maybe someone on the OL.

One player at the deadline will not impact us. Remember we got 2 superstars OBJ and Von to add to a better overall team. That got us to the Superbowl we are not at that level. Getting that lucky is unrealistic so I feel this season is what it is a loss leader for the future. That said getting one or 2 pieces for the future is smart. There will be 6+ teams that want to unload players by end of week 8. And you all need to look at it from the players side. Do you think Brian Burns like being 0-8? He is on the last year of his deal, and sure he can be franchised, but he will be ultra pissed this is when he wants to cash in - same with Chase Young etc. My point isn't a specific player, just saying we as posters need to consider how the player feels about rebuilding or their dysfunctional management/coaching and being stuck on those teams. Look at CMC he wanted to bail there will be others.

I just feel we grab one or 2 to help next years draft and free agency to round out and upgrade to the 1st tier teams like Philly and SF.

 

[Kupped]

As for the greater roster construction issue... I do look at certain types of players as force multipliers.
You get an ass-kicking edge.. it changes things for Donald and Young appreciably. You also change things for the defensive backs. I actually think the corners are acceptable for the moment. Honestly can't believe they value they're getting out of a 6th rounder and Vet Min contract.
And a running back who puts actual pressure on a defense. I just don't think Williams concerns defenses. He'll get yardage that they can live with.. because they know they don't need to change anything to prevent significant gash runs. He just doesn't have any juice. With that kind of RB, the defenses have to think a little more about being able to drop and/or play light boxes.

Keep AD for 2024! After a good draft and a few FA signings, we're back in it!

This year was never about a championship. It was about seasoning your young players and combining it with another draft and FA class to make a run next year.

AD has eluded to next year being his final year. He’s stated that it’s time to go off and enjoy his family. Stafford and his wife talk about him doing the same soon. All the great vets this team has are retiring next year, or in Staffords case maybe a year after that.
