I am interested as well.
I wonder if is appropriate to share some of the details of negotiations with another team so they know what they are willing to do.

John Johnson III had it before Jones. Curl had it in Washington, if I'm not mistaken.

I honestly feel as though the Rams are one of the best run organizations in all of sports. They have earned my trust.

If he doesn’t ask for an extension, then maybe Jones is a Ram all season. There is no requirement that a player asks for an extension.
His agent miscalculated how much the Rams valued Jones and now Ernest is on a team without much of a playoff chance. He never asked for a trade. That indicates that he would have preferred to stay a Ram.
Unless the Titans give him his contract, it’s a lose/lose. They acquired him because of injuries to their linebackers. It doesn’t seem likely that they plan to give him an extension.
If they don’t bring up an extension Jones gets to play this season on a Super Bowl contender. And the Rams are a serious contender.
I think his agent made a bad move.

Except he’s new and plays on the back end. Maybe Lake.
I cringe but in the early part of the season, I’m thinking Troy Reeder.

Jags are the Rams farm team. Bortles. Fowler. Ramsey.

I cannot face the game day thread if Reeder starts
When he gets washed out on the first running play people will be losing their shit!

He was here with Staley and again with Staley in San Diego. It’s possible until someone else is ready.I cannot face the game day thread if Reeder starts

Yes, we are.
But imagine how much better we could be if we didn't just give away our starting ILB and leading tackler for literally nothing.

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anybody the Rams have let go who has thrived or made the Rams look bad for letting them go.
Goff would be the only one I can think of who has gone on to have real success, but the Rams got Stafford in return and won a SB. Both robinson and skow were cut today.
Look at every player from that SB team who the Rams let walk, released, or traded. What have they done since? How would you like to be the bills, holding that von miller contract? Yikes!
Jones wasn’t coming back after this season and I’ll be quite surprised if he has a season that makes us second guess the Rams’ FO.
I disagree. If I'm a good player, I'd want my agent to ask for an extension after year 3 as the CBA allows. If you don't ask, you don't get. If I'm an agent, that would be my policy as a matter of course. Just because it sometimes doesn't work out shouldn't deter from that policy.
Winning the SB is great but this is their job; getting a big payday is priority numero uno. And it's speculative at best that the Titans won't pay him.
