This is a recurring theme with the Rams should they trade Robinson. They were hot to trot to sign him and are now willing to listen to trade offers. They like to throw away money/cap space.

Maybe it's Tutu time!

In a poor WR class too... smh

This is probably why we will be able to trade him if we do. The WR draft class is not great and WR FA is pretty spare this year. Not making a judgment call on the trade but it's kinda the best case scenario if Rams hellbent on trading him.

I am not liking where this all seems to be heading. Yes the season sucked, but lets not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Slow the fuck down. This wasn't the 2016 Rams that needed an overhall. This is one season removed from SB team that had a ton of infuries. It feels like an over carection.

Making room for our top draft pick to be used on a WR ;)

The Rams have managed to sort out the OL woes every season until last year when there was a ton of injuries. They might just ignore all of us at ROD again this year.

Every effective Edge rusher has been acquired, not drafted.

McVay loves his weapons and all of a sudden the Rams don’t have any outside of Kupp.

If the Rams climb back into the 1rst, I’d say a WR is definitely in play. I’ve been saying that the Rams will go WR in next year’s draft if they still have their 1rst rounder.

As far as Staff’s connection with AR goes, I think it’s near impossible to evaluate that (or much of anything else) when Staff’s primary focus on every play was probably just to physically survive it.

Perhaps just a response to asking him to restructure? The Rams have 2.8 mil x 4 (11.2) dead money with a trade, 26.2 if he's released, so he won't be released. But if he finds a shitty team who say '15. something is to much so we'll trade for you if you rework your deal', maybe he tells the Rams "okay, let's rework this". Or maybe he just wants out. In which case finding a trade and taking whatever he can get is his best option. Either way, it saves the Rams money.

I've negotiated and signed many contracts actually.

The CBA is negotiated and agreed on by both sides. Please stop acting like the owners hand the Union a stack of papers and say sign this it's all you're getting. That's not even close to reality. Both sides get rich off this because of the product that they both put on for us.
The players association agrees to it after they get some minor consolations from the owners but make no mistake the owners drove what happens in this league. One side always holds more power and they use it.

So what is Snead’s strategy now? It was “Eff those picks” by getting proven vets while hitting on lower round picks. This strategy hasn’t worked that well since Brad Holmes left….

It’early yet, but I am not optimistic for 2023/2024.
If I'm not mistaken, the Rams have won a SB, so the strategy worked.

It seems that it won't work long term, so adapting/changing is the way to go.
Will it bring another SB, I don't know, but I'm glad that the Rams are evaluating and not scared to try something different

It didn't hurt to get OBJ, Von Miller, and Eric Weddle for the last half of the super bowl season. Things like that don't happen every year, so I might call it "fortunate" as opposed to strategy, although it was true in Von Miller's case.

I guess it can be called many things.
One thing that is a fact, it's that the Rams won a SB.
Not easy to win a SB.

This has much more to do with 2024. Big contracts for players on the downside will be replaced with FAs on the upswing and promising draft picks. There is a master plan to retool. It will just take 2 years instead of 1 year to complete. I’m mentally prepared for an 8-9 2023 season but back to upper echelon NFL in 2024.

Don’t understand the logic here. Stafford missed camp, the Oline was recasted with injuries, Stafford got beat down and didn’t have time to throw. But Arob didn’t develop chemistry.

Owners need to do a better job at setting the cap system up. This kind of move is just stupid.
I don't think Robinson knew the offense. That's the biggest reason why a QB won't look at you, is that he doesn't trust you to make the right read. Especially in a scheme like this one with McVay nuking route combos for given looks or reads pre-snap. If the QB and wideout don't both make the same read then the QB will look like a fool completing a pass to a defender at times.

But I agree moving him now is kind of stupid. It's selling low. I don't see a problem allowing him to try to find a new place that wants him then they can work it out, but better would be to get him going in the offense. Unless you think he's too stupid to learn it. That may be where they're at.
