Unless McVay is lying about Henderson's injury the Rams don't need LF.

So many reasons to pass on LF.

He doesn't know the offense.
He would take away for Aker's and Henderson's development.
Questionable health issues.
Rams low on cap space.
Questionable attitude.
He is not going to be happy sharing the load.

And then he may just be ecstatic to be out of Jacksonville and on a winning team, could happen

Guy who was habitually late and slept in meetings is a fucking turd who doesn't fit We Not Me. If the Rams chase this dude it means they don't like our RB room which is a bad thing in and of itself. But then I would also question their decision making bringing in a non-locker room fit.

I am a Fournette fan. Where you land matters. I won't begrudge anyone for not being a world beater in Jacksonville. Fournette's stats have actually been quite decent, despite that. I would welcome him if we could make the money work. I think he is better than
Henderson and Akers are/will be. But we could also probably spend the money better elsewhere.

I have him on a couple fantasy teams, so I hope he finds a good situation.

Not a fan. He has always seemed to be a head case. I am sure he is on the block as the team is tired of his act.

Jville is a different case.

Every single person who's left was labelled as this and there have been zero issues.

Fowler wasn't a head case.

Bouye hasn't been a head case.

Ramsey hasn't been a head case.

Ngakoue hasn't been a head case and actually took several million LESS to GTFO.

The problem is squarely with that Jacksonville team that had the most talent of any defense in the entire league and has lost most of it within a few years for no reason other than just having a shitty front office.

Fournette would be an AMAZING pickup, but I doubt we could swing a trade.

We don't have any money to sign him. I'd rather sign a ILB.
And tbh if we don't have our Oline woes behind us it won't matter who's back there

They said the same sort of things about Fowler and Ramsey. That culture in Jacksonville was rotten. The FO and coaches alienated so many good/great players. Fournette might be a shit, or like the others, he might have been angry at the issues in the locker room and not had the sort of leadership that could get him on the right track.

I really agree about the J Vill comments, something is going on with that F/O and Coach and staff.

But like has been posted many times,imho because of cap, No way.

Rather get Jalen and Cupp signed and with all the dead money, cap looking it's going to decrease for the 1st time in history etc etc.

Heck we Might be lucky if we can sign those 2 guys ,without restructuring some contracts or cutting/trading need players.jmjo

I will say I was wrong about Ramsey’s attitude so far, thourghly impressed how he gandered reporters trying to bait him and speaking it how it ya. If LT could do that to, look out in the offense. Maybe 3-4 weeks to get him going?

That saying I don’t think we have to cap or will do sign him. We’ll see.

IMO....drafting Akers makes this a no go. Nothing against Fournette, just ready for the Rams to develop Akers into an All Pro

At 13 pages of responses, I'm not reading them all. But if he wants to Blake Bortles it for a budget rate, I'd kick the tires. He is definitely a gifted back.
