Consider trading Donald for Multiple 1std

[dieterbrock]

And here I was worried that there might be some over reactions to the loss.
Nah...

Cap room.

Just for shits and giggles.....How much cap space do you think the Rams would save?

 

[SuperMan28]

Five first round picks wouldn't be enough.

 

[UKram]

I shudder to think how bad our defense would be without AD.

We saw it in the game last night .. two plays without Donald and the niners went three qtrs if the field in that span

 

[Zodi]

No other team wants an aging defensive tackle @$20M per. Especially in exchange for two 1st round draft picks.

Dude turned 28 this year. "Aging." Arent we all then huh

 

[JonRam99]

Equivalent would be the Patriots trading away Tom Brady. He's been the best player on their team for years. Seymour is not even in Donald's zip code.
If we're ready to blow up the offense& start over yeah maybe but we're no where close to that yet. Yet.

Consider not overreacting.

I know it wont happen because Im sure Kroenke would never let star players go like that with the new stadium opening but the Patriots would always trade big names when they were still worth something and that allowed them so much flexibility and no rebuilding seasons where they were without cap room and draft picks. They traded Seymour and Chandler Jones. But this is an offensive driven league and McVay needs more parts to make his offense work. Trade him to Miami so he can sack Brady 2 games a year lol

but man, this isn't just a good player, this is Aaron Freakin Donald. Considering the short career of Gayle Sayers, there is no way Donald fails to enter the HOF right now if he never played another down, and dude has years left in the tank. It's times like this that I hate the effect of Fantasy Football on fans.

Aaron is the #1 core player at this time, and he is in his prime..: he does not get traded until everyone else is unloaded ... which is never going to happen. These crazy knee-jerk reactions have got to go away. It's not like McSnead is that Gruden character who traded away Khalil Mack.

 

[tempests]

He is an amazing individual talent but Defensive tackles as great as Donald at most add 1-2 wins a season. The impact from that position is not as strong as some others. You cant deny that it would create alot of flexibility and capital to improve other deficient areas on this team.

Donald impacts the game like no other DT. What I know is that it would create a deficient area on this team. The man leads this team in sacks, QB hits, pressures, and tackles for a loss every year.

Boy, did we get fleeced.

 

[Karate61]

3 Firsts?

Well, we need them next year. We can't wait 3 years to get them. Any teams out there with 3 firsts in the upcoming draft?

Or maybe 3 consecutive years of 1st, 2nd & 3rd round picks.

Rams would be a dynasty with that!

 

[den-the-coach]

Ahh Rams tried that with Eric Dickerson and it did not turn out well...Let's keep Aaron Donald and reload from there.

 

[Psycho_X]

Cap room.

Trading AD does nothing to clear cap room for at least 3 years. We would literally be swapping the best defensive player in football for two first round picks with zero guarantees of being better than shit on a stick and $41 million in dead cap space.

 

[Kevin]

No first rounders for 2 more years. No cap room. Many needs. Status quo and maybe we are a Wild Card team at best. The offense needs a whole new Oline. We need to replace aging players on D. If we trade Donald we can fetch at least 2 firsts and maybe a 2nd. Plus free up tons of cap room. We also can unload Ramsey and get a first and 2nd maybe. These two are great names but as shown tonight they do not make the Rams a great defense. I love Donald and I like Ramsey but this team is not 2 great players. I dont want to go 9-7 next season

Stupid idea

 

[Zodi]

What's that in Schrute bucks?

 

[Ramstien]

You don't trade the best player on your team, period.

 

[Angry Ram]

Since when does does this so called "lackof cap" every affected any team from making moves?

Year after year I see on internet boards fans posting links to sporttrac or whatever, and every year I see those same teams sign and resign players.

Yall worry too much.
