Seems to be the case. Agents should be on notice when it comes to dealing with the Rams. Shelton’s agent thought he was worth more too.His agent told him he was worth mor than he was.
Maybe not today. Or the first few games of the season, But what if they believe they’ll be every bit as good at the position AND got a better future draft pick.. and saved money this year and in future?DeMarco was ruminating and speculating -- he was just as blind-sided as everybody else when the news broke. In fact, he was shocked and very disappointed by the news. Again, I doubt McSnead believe they're better off without their best ILB. Jones may well have forced their hand when the Rams informed him he wouldn't be extended after the season. We may learn more about the details in the coming days, but I seriously doubt their decision was based on the calculation that the team would be better off without Jones.
I seriously don’t think that’s an issue.Interesting, especially considering he was a captain and a leader on D. The D still needs to find it's new leaders... even moresoe now.
Never read anything of value from him.He said it. He doesn’t get it, unless there is something we don’t know.
I guess there’s no reason to read the article.
I think Jones forced their hand. And yes, I do think that part of their calculation was making sure the player got some say in where he would be traded. Just as they did for Ramsey when they got almost nothing in return for him.So your saying out of the goodness of their heart they traded him to the Titans so he has a chance to get the contract? I doubt that more.
Well, we all hope they're right. And maybe they will be. But right now, it's a leap of faith, and all they're really getting in return is peanuts in draft compensation (probably would've gotten more in the comp formula if he played out his contract) and a couple million in cap savings.Maybe not today. Or the first few games of the season, But what if they believe they’ll be every bit as good at the position AND got a better future draft pick.. and saved money this year and in future?
There isn't. Absolutely nothing we didn't already know and has been said repeatedly in this thread.He said it. He doesn’t get it, unless there is something we don’t know.

Fair enough. I don't think they consulted him other than to inform him they were looking to trade him. I don't think they had a better offer.I think Jones forced their hand. And yes, I do think that part of their calculation was making sure the player got some say in where he would be traded. Just as they did for Ramsey when they got almost nothing in return for him.
Again. That was basically a devil's advocate type post. But common can't say in God conscious that the Rams don't treat their players dirtyProbably see that with other teams that none of us care to read about.
Those reasons could be why they made this choice. Can't have a leader of the team who is disgruntled.Interesting, especially considering he was a captain and a leader on D. The D still needs to find it's new leaders... even moresoe now.
Yeah he got sent to a loser franchise unfortunatelyLA to Tennesse. ouch
You may be right; we may never find out. But it still feels like they got fleeced again.Fair enough. I don't think they consulted him other than to inform him they were looking to trade him. I don't think they had a better offer.
