Nick Foles released(July 27, 2016)

[Roman Snow]

Dang. Couldn't we wait a couple more weeks until Sam blew out his ACL?

 

[RamFan503]

Just to clarify, is this author really saying the Rams shouldn't have selected Goff so they'd have more leverage to trade Foles? Has he been sipping on JaMarcus Russell's purple drank?

Man I love finger wagging articles that make no sense. I'm sure this guy is making bank as an NFL consultant.

Good. Didn't want his sad sack aura anywhere near Goff and messing with his glow.

[Mojo Ram]

Good luck Foles, and forever thanks for your contributions in weeks 1 and 4 last season. :snicker:

 

[Florida_Ram]

According to ESPN, it looks like he agreed to give back some of his guarantee. So we did get something - more cap space. The question then is how much we get back.

I'm guessing he gave a child size handful of it back $

Best of luck to Nick and family. Unless he goes to the whiners, in which case I want to see snot bubbles...

[RamzFanz]

Foles gave us a nail biting win against Seattle in the Edward Jones' Dome for the last time ever with dozens of ROD brothers in attendance and in honor of Thordaddy. For that, I will be forever grateful.

Best.

Game.

Ever.

Godspeed Foles, get you some!

Don't know that I buy that the Rams had offers for him.....seems like they would have taken one of them rather than a nothing burger.

I KNOW I don't buy it...Rams knew they would get next to nothing, they would have snapped an offer of any kind, IMO...

 

[Picked4td]

Yea I know that but I meant what was saved in that 1st year. I know a lot of that money went to Fairley's deal which doesnt help long term but idk if they also used the extra money to move money from another players deal up or gave them additional money to carry over to this year or if nothing at all. But id imagine theres a few mil from that saved money being used on this years team and maybe into the future which could make a difference, who knows

[CGI_Ram]

Foles is a good man.

I wish him well.

 

[Amitar]

Hopefully it was just the system and he can play well somewhere else.

 

[OnceARam]

I think he $5 million-gruntled.

Not so sure about disgruntled. Got nothing to be disgruntled about.

Not For Long.

 

[So Ram]

We don't get much cap savings this year, but we save about $10 million next season!

How is that ?!Ends up being a bad trade. If Sam Bradford was on The Rams last season they make the playoffs.

Not necessarily. Part of that trade was a draft pick used to trade up for Goff. If Goff turns out, it's all good.

Not sure where you can even come close to thinking if Bradford stayed we would make the playoff. . There are equal chances that he

Gets injured again
Checks is down into oblivion.
We go 8-8

I mean anything can happen you can't be so sure playoff with Bradford. We traded for the future instead of mortgaging our future on an oft injured qb.

 

[rams56]

Good luck Nick.....

Go Rams.........

You lose a whole season, & they resigned him for an extra 2 seasons.
-- Yeah- if you go to the playoffs your not get an earlier pick either.Fisher screwed the St. Louis fans(Ram fans) , by not really wanting to win . JL55 said it best after he signed with N.O. Saints. They don't really care about winning.
-- That said I agree right now.Hindsite though ?? Do you want to win or have Goff ??
