Jamon is Gone - Claimed by the Giants

[HE WITH HORNS]

Someone gets themselves a starting OG soon. . . .

Memo to fans: Quit panicking and trust Aaron Kromer.

 

[Rabid Ram]

Did brown try and steal kromers chair?

 

[majrleaged]

Has to be a pending suspension

That makes a lot of sense. Otherwise if they didn't want him, he would be really good trade bate. With all the wheelin and dealin Snead does, there is no way he doesn't get something for him.

to be honest brown is worth a more than a 2019 5th round pick we could have packaged him up fo rthe fowler trade or something .... theres something in the background that means there is more to this

I believe the following factors have yet to be considered here:

1) If there is a problem, trading that known problem to another team without disclosing it hurts your chances for future trades and goes against McVay’s standard of open, genuine communication.
2) Disclosing a problem hurts the player. It should come from him. Releasing him is the kindest solution.
3) The suspension was a result of not meeting a standard and something this team is built upon. He served his suspension, but others thrived in their opportunity to succeed him.
4) McVay doesn’t throw players under the bus so he won’t point out that even through Brown was physically capable, he was the weak link in recognizing responsibilities on the fly and had occasional mental lapses. Blythe, Noteboom, and Allen are all likely upgrades in this regard.
5) McVay cares about his players and this may be the best thing for Jamon. He will start somewhere and make more money this offseason as a result.

ouch.... very surprised with this tbh

What this does say is that Saffold is not going anywhere next season. They will keep him.

And really he just turned 30 this summer so he could play well for another 3 or 4 years, especially with the shape that he keeps himself in.

 

[Jorgeh0605]

Is Jamon practice squad eligible? My gut says no, but I saw some site mention it as a possibility?

 

[ljramsfan]

So I thought he was gone to make room for Fowler?

 

[AllGasNoBrakes]

This is an absolute gift for the Giants. If they don’t claim him they’re for sure tanking for the 1st overall pick.

Yup... under Fisher and Boudreau, I'd worry.

Under McVay and Kromer, I'd say there's a plan... they've earned my trust and I'll trust these guys until they show me they can no longer be trusted.

under fisher and boudreau seem like I remember we had 9 or 10 on the 53. with kromer we we have 7 or 8 on the 53. kromer does more with less.

The new staff has these lineman ready to play multiple positions, so you don't need 9 or 10 active. Think about it - Saffold can play either G and T spot, and so can Notebloom. Havenstein can play both G spots and RT. Blythe can play either G spot or C.

 

[BonifayRam]

Guessing here..............Noteboom who has played both sides @ OG has surpassed Jamon Brown in his pass blocking skills @ OG. Brian Allen must have also made great strides in his rookie season in practice too. This give Kromer two rookie OL'ers ready to step up in place of Jamon Brown.

JB was NOT in the future plans in the 2019 OL & Noteboom & Allen are. Kromer continues to like PS interior OL'er (OG/OC) Aaron Neary now in his 2nd season. Kromer must also like what he has seen in our two new rookie ex Saint OT Rick Leonard (FSU) & 2nd season Darrell Williams from Western Kentucky.

Rams have only one UFA 2019 OL'er to be concerned about in March of 2019 & thats our starting 2018 LG Rodger Saffold now. The rest of the present enitre OL is uder contract & set to return. One would think that three Ram OL'ers Noteboom, Allen & Neary will be in competition for the Rodger Saffold starting post.

I still believe that Snead will give a LT/CB/OLB'er with our 1st round selection in the 2019 draft.

 

[LA_Rams_#29]

Wow... Well..I'm going to assume that something else has happened that we don't know about yet. Hope he lands on his feet. 2 years ago I was ready for us to move on from him, but he really played well for us last year. My lasting memory of him is going to be on Gurley's long TD vs. the Titans on that screen pass... Jamon was waaaaay down field laying guys out... it was great to see how far he had come.

hope our depth can carry us the rest of the way.

yeah that's what I mean by more with less

 

[dang]

It appears they had to free up a certain amount of $$$$ by releasing someone that was not in their long term plans. Jamon happened to check both boxes.

......And there you have it

It was about saving money to give to Fowler.
