DJax being waived. Interesting comment from Rams

[dieterbrock]

No dead money, 2.75 mill base, at a cost of $161,765 per game, the Rams should be saving 1.45 mill

 

[Karate61]

$50 says that DJax goes to the open media and starts throwing darts at the Rams.

Some people just never grow up.

You be wrong about that!

 

[PhillyRam]

DJax won’t have to go through waivers. He is a Veteran player with more than 4 years in the league so he is a FA.

Actually post trade deadline, he does. They do this so teams can't do some backroom deal late in the year where one team releases a player who then signs with another team that nay ask that team to release that player. So they lose that control and the player must go through waivers regardless of yrs of service.

Pre-trade deadline he wouldn't have to.

 

[PhillyRam]

Yeah I’ve seen it written in a couple of places as well. I just put it down to incompetent journalism.

He is not subject to waivers.

Rules are different post trade deadline. Look it up. All players are subject to waivers if released post trade deadline.

Rules are different post trade deadline. Look it up. All players are subject to waivers if released post trade deadline.

Yes I’ve been alerted to that now on a couple of occasions. Cheers

 

[PhillyRam]

"This isn’t the case all year round, however. Once the trade deadline passes, any player who is cut by his team must pass through waivers, regardless of how many accrued seasons are on his resume. So if a team drops a 12-year veteran in Week 10 of the season, that player must pass through waivers unclaimed before he’d be free to sign with a team of his choice."

I take it back. He's a man.

His base is guaranteed so we eat that unless somebody claims him on waivers which is a very real possibility.

Well you learn something new everyday!! That should make @Allen2McVay happier. Lol

Actually, it really does. I may need a hobby.

 

[IE Rams]

I've seen $1.4-$1.7m, but if this week has taught me anything, it's that I understand less about the cap than I thought I did last week.

Which is infinitely more than I’ll ever understand that stuff. Ever.

 

[HE WITH HORNS]

I thought we were just saving him for the playoffs, but it appears he doesn't care about that. If that was the case, we should have put him on punt AND kick returns, and ran him into the ground and got what mileage we could have out of him until he got hurt.

 

[payote75]

Marvin Hall? Mentioned on other thread but he has history with Stafford and can return punts RT?

 

[AZRams]

"Willing to stay" - In other words, we did him a favor and tried not to make him look as bad (to the fans, and to future teams).

Yeah, that didn't go according to plan now did it.

 

[Merlin]

Correct it's a final dick move since he played this game. Now he can go to one of the worst teams in the league if they want the little nazi.

Interesting and well deserved as far as I'm concerned. His ego directly hurt that unit's depth he can get fucked. Hope it's the Texans.

 

[OldSchool]

Interesting and well deserved as far as I'm concerned. His ego directly hurt that unit's depth he can get fucked. Hope it's the Texans.

The last minute talk of being willing to stay IMO was 100% when he realized they were going to wait until after the deadline to cut him and make him go thru waivers. He realized he'd gambled with an empty hand and the Rams called him on it.

Every trade the Rams have made since hiring Sean McVay in 2017

Every trade the Rams have made since hiring Sean McVay in 2017​

Since hiring Sean McVay back in 2017, the Rams have adopted the philosophy of staying aggressive and exploring just about any trade possibility that comes across the table. GM Les Snead has stayed busy in his role, making more trades than just about any team in the NFL.

In the last four-plus years, the Rams have made a total of 21 trades involving players. For the most part, their deals have worked out for the better. They’ve acquired players such as Jalen Ramsey, Matthew Stafford, Brandin Cooks and Marcus Peters, also quietly adding Austin Corbett and Kenny Young, who became starters in L.A.

Their most recent deal was a blockbuster move for Von Miller, adding him to a stacked defense just before the trade deadline. With Miller now in the mix, it’s a good time to look back at all the deals the Rams have made since 2017.

Yeah your read on that makes a lot of sense. Probably a situation where he thought he could push the old TE coach and found out he's a head coach now.

This would have been nice if they showed who those picks ended up being for both teams.

 

[Ellard80]

I'm going to be in the minority here - we were better off keeping him if he wanted to stay.

We have no kick returners worth a shit - let him return punts and kick offs - he was always great at that... if he gets hurt doing it then thats fine he served a purpose/

he still had use - if he was a "cancher" then maybe.. dunno.. i didnt hear anyone reporting he was being a cancer anywhere.
