Yes, the Rams now have a ton of money. Yes there are good arguments that the Rams had enough cap space to keep some of the players just cut. That said, the Rams have a ton of free agents to sign, and Fisher obviously felt to build and take the team to the next level, he had to prioritize who he kept, and also try to improve at the same time. That will take a lot of money and all the cap space freed up will be needed. So yes it sucks saying goodbye to loyal Ram players, but if Fisher didn't, the Rams would be saying goodbye to others that have more upside and that can contribute more.

I still think releasing JL may have been one season too soon, but we'll see what they decide to go with

For some reason this^ just reminded me of the year the Rams let 'Deacon Jones' go, I hated it!! And didn't trust the Rams decision or the player they replaced him with!!! .... The Player was "Jack Youngblood"!! So that worked out OK!:D

I just hope history repeats itself!!;)

LA and nearly $60M in cap space should be a good recipe for the Rams. Should (hopfully) be able to re-sign most of our guys and maybe sign a guy like Alshon Jeffrey. I'm hopeful.
 
The past has little to do with the present or the future...(good or bad)..
 
At the end of year Aaron Donald will have one year left in his rookie deal.

Think about it.

Spend wisely my Rams management.

That goes for every year and every contract. Demoff must have made a personnel CAP software program that he uses. He has a very good system going.

You may be fooled but I'm not. The Rams will easily have an extra 15-mil, after signing their own, to offer outside FA's
 
This is where we see the power of the Kroenke-built front office. Demoff killing it annually with cap genius. Great talent coming in every year through a well designed player evaluation process. Seasoned coach taking care of the players.

They haven't won yet because of QB. But it is coming IMO. Rams are going to be a model of how to build it right. Well... As soon as they get an effin QB in here.

And if Donald hits FA he will receive the biggest contract for a defensive player to date.
 
Please do not remind me about Jamie Duncan. I have been pissed at Lovie ever since.
 
Yeah you see a lot of 3 year tags everyday. He gets paid in an extension instead of the 1.8 to buy him out of FA years. And it will be huge.
Football is about performance on the field and teams pay for that, it's not about spreadsheets and just cause a team can should it.
