He is terrific WR. When is on he is ON. He is better than Britt. Sometimes he does disappear in games if you don't throw the ball early in the game. So FA market price will be between #2 and #3 receiver which makes him a bargain. Cards are not going to keep him since FA will pay more than they are willing to pay.

With Britt and Floyd as #1 and #2, Rams will have two tall big receivers for any QB that starts.

Floyd's an enigma. He disappears for games on end. I think we could resign Quick for probably 75% of what Floyd signs for and get same production.

No thanks. I've seen most of his games since drafted and he's a big tease. He sleepwalks through the majority of his Sundays. Plays with no fire. For a guy who plays across from a future HOF'r in a passing scheme he's been unimpressive. The Alex Barron of WR's if you will.

I don't think so. He's a product of being on a team with better WR's than himself. He also has a better QB (currently) than the Rams do.
In addition I don't think Julio Jones would do well here...being on a Fisher controlled offense and all. I think as long as Fisher is our HC our Offense will continue to be horrific.

Lets see what Cooper and Spruce can bring first. Lots of big names become FA's for the Rams the next couple of seasons.

Depends on the price. If Britt wants too much money, I'd pick up Floyd at a solid price to replace him. I think he's being underrated here.

A wr that lacks top end speed and drops a lot of passes I think we have enough of those. I don't think we need to much help at wr it falls more on keenums arm and the struggle gurley is going thru.

Pass, we have plenty of #2s and #3s. Next time we draft a WR, we need a true #1

I gotta disagree. Having a #1 WR is great, but you get just as much value from a bunch of good options as you do from a true #1. However, if Alshon Jeffery hits FA, I'd be all in on him. The PED suspension might make that more likely.

Man, at a bargain price Alshon would be fine, but between his injury history and now PED suspension he screams of overpaid bust

Give me an A.J. Green or Julio Jones, all day over a mixed bag of middling receivers.

Realistically I am just hoping for some guys with great hands

He's 26 years old coming off back-to-back down years after two top tier seasons prior to that. I'm going after him hard if I'm the Rams. I think you can lock him up for less than what you pay a typical #1 WR. And he's very easily a #1 WR.

Michael Floyd reminds me a bit of Jared Cook, looks the part, has the potential, has a great game now and then, but just looks like lazy waste of a roster space most of the time - pass - he'll probably be looking for big time $$'s too - besides I like Britt, I'd like to keep him a ram ;)

Marvin Jones signed a 5 year 40 mill gig last year, is that what you'd be thinking?
I'm curious to see how Britt and Quick play with Goff, if they both continue to excel, I wonder what they will look for. Cooper and Thomas might get some looks here too.
Jeffrey>Floyd in my book, as long as money is right

Would be hard to sign both Britt and Floyd when you consider Austin was just extended. Thats a lot of capital at one position. Personally I hope the Rams ignore FA and focus on Tru, Britt, maybe Quick and look at extending Donald.
