To date, I'm leaning towards Warren McClendon and someone getting a franchise tag next offseason.
If you are right then a fire should be lit under the asses of every other OL, especially Avila.If I HAD to put money down I'd bet on a Dotson extension right about start of camp.
I got the impression from Nate's article that Rams might want to see a healthier version of Avila and a bit more consistency in his blocking (even though he's been doing it at a high level). I think "take the next step" was mentioned so I could see them waiting on any work on him or perhaps let him go if Dotson is locked up.If you are right then a fire should be lit under the asses of every other OL, especially Avila.
I voted Nacua, but McClendon is a sneaky one that could be done if he accepts a little less, since he only has about 8 games as a starter under his belt. So considering it's a smaller deal than Nacua, I could see them getting it out of the way. This could be especially true since with no #1 pick next year its likley no high level OT is coming into the building via the draft.To date, I'm leaning towards Warren McClendon and someone getting a franchise tag next offseason.
Yeah, I could see that while they can still get him on the cheap (relatively) and with Hav retired.I voted Nacua, but McClendon is a sneaky one that could be done if he accepts a little less, since he only has about 8 games as a starter under his belt.

My vote is for The Conductor. I love Nacua, Avila, McClendon, and Dotson, but Kobie Turner is more important to that defense than people think.
Another sneaky signing that's not on the list might just be Colby Parkinson.
