Doesn't mean the Rams want to trade him. If he were available the Rams would let it be known.

Fisher did just say his job is safe...

watch out sammy!

 

[ChrisW]

It'll cost 'em a first rounder this year, and next year.

I just watched draft day. Let's make a deal!

 

[bwdenverram]

Well I guess the silver lining is we would get draft compensation I believe unless we outright release him, correct?

 

[Merlin]

Their 2015 first round pick and Johnny Manziel = let's do it!

<ducks>

These "insider buzz" reports are total nonsense
Instead of "Browns Will 'Take a Real Run' at Trading for Rams QB Sam Bradford"
The actual title should be: "Will Browns 'Take a Real Run' at Trading for Rams QB Sam Bradford?"

 

[LosAngelesRams]

Id do it for the 12th overall pick and Justin Gilbert, They are not really happy with him and he under preformed. If he came to the Rams I think he would shine like Barron, he's talented for sure.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Rotoworld is saying that Bradford has told fisher that he won't restructure as well. Anyone else hearing that?

 

[Slappy967]

It also says the Browns are only offering a 2nd round pick at best as compensation. Still interested? I'd seriously consider it even at that price.

If there's Cleveland's 2nd rounder on the table now, they ought to take it and run

Snap your hand off for a second, throw it in with our 1st and go get Mariota, then build the OL in the second and third.

I'd take that. Bradford's good but he's also damaged goods and he's replaceable.

 

[iced]

I think this is bogus..

we've heard time and time again they have money set aside for him, he's not on the block, and they want him back....

if he wasn't in the plans i don't think they'd consult him either for the new offensive staff changes.

Guess ignorance sells media clicks

Hell no.

 

[LazyWinker]

I know Bradford hasn't been reliable (in that he hasn't been healthy) but he's certainly a nice enough guy and I wouldn't wish that evil on him.

 

[Irish]

Whatever happened to football trades?

Player for player type stuff.

You want Sam? Fine, we expect a like-valued roster player. Justin Gilbert sounds good.

 

[Merlin]

It's probably bogus, but you never know. If Sam has decided not to restructure which is possible given the lack of progress in talks, then the Rams will be more likely to move him. Cleveland is a mess, and cannot control Manziel. Fish would probably be able to handle Manziel's personality, the Rams had scouts that liked him coming out, they have a QB coach who is good at working with mobile QBs now, he comes under contract for longer than Sam, and his value is incredibly low which means the Rams would get a pick too.

Everyone hates Manziel here it seems, but he still has a chance to show he can play in this league. If the Rams think they'd have to franchise tag Sam to keep him next year, they might decide to cut bait provided they get an offer they like.

With that 2nd round pick the Rams could take Carden, Petty, or Hundley. Add a guy like Sanchez in FA and we have:

Sanchez > Manziel> Davis > [Carden/Petty/Hundley]

Not a bad depth chart for next year's camp. What Sanchez gives up in his production he compensates for in not being an extreme injury risk. He knows the Rams' offense and would have far more weapons than he's ever had in the NFL. The cap savings would mean a very high chance of signing a guy like Wisniewski. The draft pick would mean another OL that the Rams would be able to get instead of using it on a QB. Finally, the Rams would not be hell bent on keeping Manziel, if he can't beat out Davis he's cut.
