I want Shaq Barrett and I'm backed baffled that he is still out there.

Yes I've been saying it on every thread lol I want perry and Shelton for sure and I'd trade for Zach brown use draft to fortify line and secondary

Kind of a tier two guy. A good one though.

Ford had a good season - the best of his career. He's really had one other good season. And keep in mind that the Chief's opponents had to pass all the time to keep up with them. So that likely inflated his sack totals somewhat. He's a good player, but I don't know if he's worth over 9% of the cap. It wouldn't shock me if he never gets 13 sacks again.

not really what he was looking for but if half of it is guaranteed it was exactly what he was looking for to be happy.

Tomorrow I need more information to fire my imagination to give me inspiration hopefully before my cremation where I may face my damnation. So please dear Ram Nation, grant me a day of elation.

Anyone think the jags would take a trade of peters and Reynolds for jalen Ramsey???
Would free up some money for us and allow us to pick the bones from the nfl cuts and as far as jam well peters is peters and with there pass rush and the way he likes to play works and in all honesty Reynolds is a poor mans Alshon Jeffery right now and foles likes that big target to throw it up too?

Or do you guys think they hang up on us lol

He is over paid. But of course the Rams overpaid Fowler.
They added two good LBs.

There are still a lot of guys I like. Barrett is one of them.

 

[dang]

After tendering the RFAs - the Rams only have about $9.5m cap space left. I believe the Rams will try for CJ Anderson leaving very little left. Maybe enough to go after 1 more cheap defensive FA and a cheap FA OL.

Oh, it will likely help them next year.

But giving a good but not great player a 5 year contract that pays him like he's one of the best players in the league, at age 28 (in a week) is different than overpaying less extremely a soon to be 25 year old for one season. I figure some of the money for Fowler is because it's only a one season contract, so the Rams could buy some time to develop a replacement. We'll see how much money is guaranteed for Dee.

Yeah.
Pretty limited and blah FA period for the Rams.
Losing Saffold hurts the team. But realistically he would have had to take a lot less, like $5M a year for the team to keep him.

My dream all off-season, as I have shared on twitter as well, is to trade Peters and a future second or maybe even consider our first this year, in exchange for Ramsey and a pick; a fifth this year if it’s our second next year or their second if it’s our first this year. I want Ramsey!!

Also fwiw, anyone on here on twitter feel free to add: bigbry55. I’m all about rams on twitter!

He held out all last year only to sign that?

He was afraid that if he signed a one-year franchise tag, that the Steelers would intentionally overuse him, and shorten his career. He's paranoid, but it's his career. And given the incredibly small amount of guaranteed money he was offered by the Steelers in the contract they offered before the franchise tag - he might be right. In any case, he has enough guaranteed money now to live high on the hog in his retirement if he's not foolish (yes, that's a longshot)

Minus of course the $14.5 million he missed out on last year.
