Clay Mathews released

[Psycho_X]

I know was half expected but still not sure what we’ll do for pass rush. Obviously OBO taking a step up would be huge for us. But I hope there’s an influx of talent soon to make these cuts and losses up.

An aging vet with a decent cap hit when we're right up against it. Writing was on the wall.

 

[99Balloons]

Wow. The Rams better replenish their talent base quickly with better drafting and developing of players asap. WTH is going on?

Ehh...this just means that Leonard Floyd will probably stay at OLB. Him, Ebukam and Obo as the primary rotation and let the fourth spot be competition between the young guys.

 

[OldSchool]

This move makes sense, saves us money we have Floyd who can do what he did and a stable of young talent.

 

[Corbin]

All this for Ramsey smh. Ramsey isn’t worth a team.

 

[HX76]

It’s a mass cull. We’ll have no one left at this rate!!

 

[Mojo Ram]

Meh, he was a stopgap guy here. Thanks for the 8 sacks.

 

[thirteen28]

A lot of people predicted this move and/or advocated for it. Not a surprise.

Clay was good at rushing the passer but terrible at setting the edge and it hurt us in the run game.

Im sure that’s what the Rams are praying for as we all are. But that line up doesn’t get me too excited yet. A lot to prove from that bunch.

 

[Memento]

Not surprised. The young guys are probably better than Matthews.

Hope he lands on his feet somewhere.

Matthews had 8 sacks last year. Floyd has never had 8 sacks in a season in his career. I'd rein in your expectations slightly

Seriously, Snead is running a clown show.

Oh please. Matthews is an aging veteran near the end of his career with limited value. If that's a clown show, then get me some floppy shoes and a red nose.

Man I feel bad for AD right about now. We lose both starting OLBs, Fowler is better than Floyd so we downgrade there technically. Lose Matthews on the other side so Ebukam or Obo is a downgrade there. No starting ILBs with NFL experience after losing a play maker in Littleton.

We lost all that on defense all while not improving the o-line at all. Wow wow wow

 

[Jacobarch]

lol, you guys are hilarious.

i Don't know Fowler is better than Floyd, Fowler was riding the bench when we brought him over. Sooooo who's to say? The rams obviously have a plan freeing up some cap room for a big list of needed FA's next year. Plus people we need ot sign this year.

We also can't pay an RB 14mil a year to get 15 carries a game. Sorry that just doesn't compute.

Floyd has also been asked to drop back in coverage way more than Matthews because Floyd is 6'6" and runs like a deer.
