GRob traded to Lions

[FrantikRam]

What are the odds of a team drafting Jason Smith and Greg Robinson within like 6 years of one another, both with the 2nd pick in the draft? Ouch.

 

[DaveFan'51]

WOW :wow: and thats how Thursday June 15 2017 starts. Guess Jamon Brown may be our future RT after all. Or at least this season.

So all we could get was a sixth round pick not even a 4th or 5th But i guess something is better then nothing and just cutting him.
ball:

It sure seems like Detroit got a great deal, and that we could have done better! But then again, IF he's a "Bust" it's just as well!

 

[12intheBox]

Anyone know the cap hit?

 

[Mikey Ram]

Didn't take long for them to decide to jettison Robinson...Not a big surprise given the mini-camp work he wasn't a part of...Speaking of which, why would the Rams forego the last day of moni-camp ???

 

[DaveFan'51]

Cap savings will be useful. But glad to see him gone. It isn't much but at least got something for him. But the cap savings is probably what they wanted more than the draft pick. What an awful pick by Snisher.

I guess this " Dead Money/Cap savings explains why we took a 6th rounder for him, I just wonder If Detroit picks up any of that Dead money or how does that work!? Anyone know!?

 

[LACHAMP46]

We are lucky we are getting anything for his ass.

A 6th rounder, is basically nothing...IMO

 

[RedRam]

I can see the future now:

"Former rams LT Greg Robinson invited to 2018 pro bowl"

To do what, carry bags or bus tables?

Oh, I know! To open doors!!

More specifically, with their other first-round pick that year, the Rams took Aaron Donald. But they also could have had Khalil Mack, Mike Evans, or Odell Beckham Jr.

The latter two would have probably been busts here as well. The previous regime was just not good at developing drafted offensive talent.

Turn the page! The GR saga is over with the Rams. We have a little more clarity as far as the OL roster goes. Somebody in the OL mix is feeling a little better today about making the roster. Good luck to GR and hello a little cap help. An extra 6th round pick may not seem to be worth much but it's a full 6th round pick better than no extra pick at all.

OR Jake Mathews like I wanted!!

 

[OC_Ram]

I find it shocking we couldn't make a guard out of him.

 

[DaveFan'51]

OFF TOPIC! Love the New avatar flv, Looks like, it should be captioned " Flv Reporting!"

 

[Tron]

Well looks like we'll see about half as many yellow flags as we did last year. Glad he's finally gone.

Best of luck to him. Glad this staff isn't playing around with those who can't cut it.

Addition by muthafuckin subtraction...


I really wanted it work out but it didnt and im glad it happened sooner rather than later. I never understood the patience shown to guys like G Rob and Barnes by some on this board...especially after years of subpar play in which they were paid hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars for their "performance"...

To throw a party in celebration of dumping Greg Robinson!

 

[den-the-coach]

Yep called that Monday, thought it would put an end to this matter. GUess Snead might come in here from time to time after all.

You were right on point sir, nicely done and I know how much you will miss GROB and his follies.

 

[Soul Surfer]

A 6th rounder, is basically nothing...IMO

I would have traded him for bag of freshly laundered jockstraps.

 

[den-the-coach]

I don't see how saving $3 million is good? How receiving a 6th round pick was good? For the #2 overall....

.

I disagree saving cap is always good and might lead to resolving the Aaron Donald extension also it was time to move on and cut your loses at the very minimum the Rams did receive compensation back.

So some dirty jocks woulda held the deal up?

I feel ya den...get something...

My take is...rehabilitate this guys image....THEN trade him when teams in need get a lil desperate...like pre-season game 3....

6th round pick is nothing.....3.3 million ...in this age is almost nothing. We basically blew a #2 pick...in a deep draft....

and personally, if Goff doesn't shine...and I mean 4000 yards 25 td's....Snead is toast.
