2 totally different dogs competing at the same WR position. At this point OBJ is a junkyard dog (superior at high pointing the ball and making strong-hands catches). Woods is a show dog (better route runner, YAC).If you think Woods is in OBJ's class then I can't help you. Let's agree to disagree.
Some skills are more rare than others. We aren't gonna find a guy like Odell without a high pick.
i literally said in my last comment that my original comment had nothing to do with odell specifically. the voidable years gives you cap flexibility, idk why youre insistant on bringing up odell and guaranteed money. but either way, yes voidable years would still effect guaranteed money cuz added years still allows you to further spread out the money in how it counts against the cap
Why do I bring up Odell? Umm.... Seriously? You do realize that this thread is about how we can keep him? It's kind of the title and everything..
He could be a new man, more mature and happy to be here now, but things change and old habits die hard. We should only keep him if he takes a similar deal to Woods and Kupp. No 20 mil plus deal. He could be just on his good behaver till he is not.
I think Michel is gone next year. The draft is full of guys like him. I like him and all, but get a guy on a rookie contract.
Any paid money cannot be transferred to another money. The savings would be in 2023 and after.Nice thread.
I remember here at ROD talks before the season that the Rams would have to lose Kupp or Woods in 2022. I wanted to keep both.
Now, it's how can the Rams keep Kupp, Woods, and OBJ. It would be great if they could. As it is the Rams are top-heavy with big cap hits at the top of the roster. That's will out Von Miller and others that will be free agents. It also hurt depth as we have seen.
I don't see how trading Woods saves any significant money but, maybe someone can figure it out. I'm not sure if the roster bonus can be taken on by another team.

It's really hard to figure out until we see some other pieces fall into place such as Staffords contract and the new cap amount. I would doubt they could keep all three. It is fun to think about it.
There is some truth the endorsement opportunities. Guys like JJ and Hill don't have the name power of guys like OBJ, Ramsey, Donald, etc. Their opportunities would the lower level local type. They rely on that contract for the bulk of their money. OBJ has to factor in what he could get in that market.
I think Michel's gone as well, but I don't think what he brings is something you can count on from a mid-low round rookie and I don't know that they'd try.
Rams have trouble getting that type of runner in mid-low rounds, but other teams do not. They need to look more to size and speed and start from there. Doesn't have to be to shifty. Also maybe someone who hasn't had multiple knee injuries.
I don’t know.. as a complimentary back, wasn’t Brown that guy?
How many years ago was that. Wasn't that under Fisher. Anyway, I think they can replace Michel and forgo the few mil he would insist on.
Yea Michel was a necessity after Akers went down. We wouldn't be here without him no doubt. But Akers was slated to be the workhorse in the off-season. And he definitely was down the stretch and into the playoffs last year. So I bet we let Michel walk, and draft someone late. If Akers stays healthy next year we wont even be thinking about who our #2 RB is let alone #3. I predict Akers to have a 2017 type Gurley year next year. He's going to explode.
Now just us your boy Ben Mason so we can get a real TE2/FB
Not a bad thought in terms of Henderson. Might have a few guys that could get you a 5th or 6th rounder. Hopkins? Maybe Robinson, which also frees cap space.
