What a jerk, now we are ALL having to wait on whatever it is that HE'S waiting on, sheesh

It’s not an open roster spot. They have 3 TE in their salary cap calculation.
If Everett goes, they still have 3 TE and save 1.3 mill

No.... Not in terms of real cap space.

They save in terms of cap spent on the TE room, but his roster spot will be filled by a rookie. Whether its a rookie OL or LB or whatever.

So if a rookie gets $600K, that is essentially subtracted from any cap savings Everett gets you.

Unless they do not intend on filling his roster spot and go with one less player.

This really should not be difficult to understand.

Dont need to get salty, it's a net savings
The Rams 2020 cap calculation already includes Higbee, Everett, Mundt and Blanton
Hopkins rookie salary has not yet been applied and when he replaces Blanton (or Mundt), it will actually save an additional couple $$
That leaves 4 TE on the roster
Remove Everett, and there is no replacement needed
They carried 3 last year
So yeah, they can use that savings to be applied elsewhere, which is the point of saving cap room
It really isnt difficult to understand

Probably waiting on a Door Dash delivery.

This thread seems like sheer desperation to me when we are sent into a frenzy of speculation by an obscure tweet from one of our four tight ends. Who has shown talent but, unlike Higbee, no breakout, and is a probable cut cap in the not very distant or maybe immediate future or will be a free agent signing with someone else.

Ok, we're desperate.

My point is the overall cap savings for this yr and or to rollover to next year, is really only about half his salary because his roster spot still must be filled.

Sure you can spend that money on another position, but that doesn't help much when it comes to cap room for Kupp & Ramsey.

So, he was waiting for a seat at the Black Jack table?

Or he likes an intense game of Russian roulette. The possibilities are endless.

Do y'all ever wonder if sometimes these guys put out cryptic tweets just to mess with people?

Or need attention?
One thing is for sure, he's certainly not overly concerned about addressing his fans on there who are concerned about his Rams future. And there is a very conspicuous absence of other Rams players jumping in there.
Like remember when Cooks tweeted "Free me" and everyone thought he wanted out? Kupp jumped in to clarify...

Maybe he wants to sit out the season and not take the risk. I don't think he is married and not sure about any family.

I want the truth and can handle it.

I probably would lol.

Sorry guys seems I jumped the gun on an Everett trade. Still, he removed the Rams from his bio so who knows.

Honestly, I'd love a Gerald Everett/Trysten Hill (Cowboys DT) trade. Huge fan of him out of Central Florida, and he'd be a pass-rushing upgrade over Fox.

Wouldn't be so fast to concede on that. I don't think it's likely or anything but there's still time. If for example Hopkins comes in hot (and if they plan to prioritize blocking opposite Higs in 12 sets which is possible) they might elect to kick Gerald's ass to the curb.

 

[PhillyRam]

Could just be that maybe there were some very preliminary talks or maybe he hoped there could be talks on an extension and nothing materialized.

Thus he realizes this is his last yr here.

 

[CGI_Ram]

There are only two ways to deal with a contract year;

1. Sulk and devalue yourself and/or fail to maximize this opportunity. Blame something. Watch your career fade away.

2. Go out and show why you are the #1 guy here. All works out here, or elsewhere. Become a career NFL player.

Winners always choose door #2.

Who knows what those tweets mean, tho.

Maybe he’s just talking about the season getting cancelled
