Just broke on twitter, interested to see what Suh will demand now at this stage in his career? If it's anywhere close to $10 mil they paid too much.

Look for McCoy to land somewhere like Phillie or another contender, whom might manipulate their cap!

Please not Philadelphia, McCoy next to Fletcher Cox would make that D line all but unblockable.

I hear we got all kinds of monopoly money to pay him.

I'd love to have McCoy. I like him more than Suh. But I doubt we have the money to get him, even though there is a need.

The rams can pay him if they want by restructured salary as bonus so the real question is do they think he can be a difference maker when they already have Gaines and Day. I say yes and tbat they should make him an offer.

Suh Part 2? Give McCoy a 2 year Clay Matthews deal and see if he's in it for the $$ or the love of the game.

Highly unlikely, especially bc of his locker room presence, but why not cut Brock and have McCoy play end? I’m sure his pass rushing is still tiers higher, and he’d count less against cap!

If he happy with Luiget as a cheaper rotational option, and then Sully as a back up Center.

I'd love it if they signed McCoy, but I don't think they find the cap room.

I just don't think they have any cap room, except for minimum players. They'll likely cut some non-minimum players as it is.

If there is an injury, and somebody is available close to minimum, that might change that - though not necessarily even then.

Cap space is very tight, and there will be injuries in training camp and during the season, necessitating additional spend.

All kinds of options for teams in the market for old and lazy DL who want to take snaps off and get paid.

Rumor is McCoy is already on his way to New England.

They don't have much more cap room than the Rams - but if he wants to win a championship, he may wrongly believe they are more likely.

Yeah somebody who's talked to him mentioned he's made about $100 million so far in his career and will sign a cheap 1 year deal shooting for the ring. Like many others have with them.

I'd much rather have Brockers for his play on the field and the leadership he provids in the lockerroom.
