Rams 2023 free agency preview: Will David Edwards get another shot in LA?
Will the Rams bring back David Edwards after a difficult 2022 season?

Speaking of mistakes.....per ESPNI am talking about this regime...under McVay... ONE bad season in six.
You are the one erecting a strawman.
And yes they made mistakes. All teams do. The Eagles drafted Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson. Shit happens when projecting what 21 yr olds will do in the NFL
The move will increase Watson’s cap charges from 2023 to 2026 by $8.984 million per season. That now leaves Watson with cap charges just under $64 million in each of those seasons.
It's Cleveland. It's terminally broken. Those fans have put up with some real heartbreak over the years and they keep rooting. In a subtle way, it makes me appreciate being a Rams fan.That would be 28% of this year’s cap. That contract is crippling. Every year they are going to have to adjust it in some way, it would seem.
I'm saying they restructured his contract this year to make more money, and can see them cutting him next off-season when they can afford too.Guess ? How do The Rams restructure his contract? You think Noteboom isn’t a team player ? All I have heard is good things from The Rams about Joesph Noteboom.
So what are you saying about Noteboom??? Just wondering
It's absolutely insane. And with it being 100% guaranteed anything they adjust just gets pushed to later years... every single penny. They better hope he comes out and is a top 5 QB for the remainder of the contract because they can't do shit about it for four years. Even if they cut him before the last year of the contract (after 3 seasons from now) they'd still eat a $73 million dead cap hit. Just absolutely insane.That would be 28% of this year’s cap.

Yeah, I suppose they could add more voidable years on the very end... but they are on the hook for all of that guaranteed deal.It's absolutely insane.

Fair enough,but I think Joesph Noteboom is a better player than he gets credit for,other wise The Rams don’t give him that contract in the first place.I'm saying they restructured his contract this year to make more money, and can see them cutting him next off-season when they can afford too.
I don't doubt he's SOLID but the best ABILITY is availABILITY. Dude just gets dinged up too much.Fair enough,but I think Joesph Noteboom is a better player than he gets credit for,other wise The Rams don’t give him that contract in the first place.
—Noteboom is a SOLID RAM!! Don’t forget his character & it is a mutual resign(structure).
Personally I DISAGREE!! Any way he helped the run game just by restructuring his contract.I don't doubt he's SOLID but the best ABILITY is availABILITY. Dude just gets dinged up too much.
I personally thought Alaric Jackson played better at LT.
Fact is there are two Joe Noteboom's!I keep seeing people say things like Noteboom is a decent LT and good in pass pro when he was AWFUL last season in all aspects of his game, ESPECIALLY pass pro...
Best case scenario is he rides the bench all year as a swing tackle and is a cap casualty next off season...
He had some good games Bonify’d last season.There are two Joe Noteboom's!
Noteboom (a)- This version is the Noteboom we as fans have seen the most. Version(a) was the 2022 Noteboom who showed up as the starting LT for the first time in his career. This version (a) looked very similar to the 2019 & 2020 versions. Very little difference in their on-field performances. Noteboom (a) is a walking injury waiting to happen. Best easy way to describe Noteboom (a) 2019/2020/2022 performances
Noteboom (b)- This version is the one we have seen in cameo relief appearances. Noteboom (b)appeared late in 2021 as the Rams were entering the playoffs on the SB run. Noteboom (b) gave all pro performances in the playoff run until he was injured & was placed on the IR just before the SB game which he missed.![]()
Immune? No.I don’t understand. So if you win the SB, you are immune to criticism?
Why can’t it be both? Maybe they could have sustained the SB contention if they hadn’t made so many mistakes like KC has for example (or even Pitt, Balt, etc has been able to do).
I’m not surprised at all. I expected it. That’s what happens when you give out money and contracts like a drunken sailor. I’m just asking to learn a bit in that side of things. It’s been going on for like 10 years (not a McVay thing). Luckily we’ve had McVay to cover up for those mistakes. But imagine if we could combine McVay with a more efficiently run cap. That I’d like to see.Immune? No.
But it has to be a factor. Fans expect teams to do whatever it takes to win it all. The Rams did so, and now it seems that some are acting surprised that there’s a bill to pay.
If you look at the NFL over the past 10 years, the Rams are in the top 5 in terms of overall sustained success. I believe the architects of that success deserve more deference than they are receiving from some.
Bruss isn’t starting off on the right foot for #2Sorry guys but I just can't get into Noteboom (and Brian Allen, for same reason)
In order to be a professional athlete you need two things:
1) Talent
2) A body that can withstand the demands of your sport.
Boom has got enough talent but he fails in the body part.
We need to start developing his replacement now before we get caught short again. (same goes for B. Allen too)

So you're of the mind, it's all one-sided? The players agents don't "ask" for anything. The Rams just offer it up? No negotiation? I wonder how all these current critics would feel if after trading for Ramsey, the Rams said, "nope. He's just like he was in Jacksonville. Wants too much money. Wants to break the bank. We're letting him walk." I can hear it now.....I’m not surprised at all. I expected it. That’s what happens when you give out money and contracts like a drunken sailor.

As I've said a couple of times. I don't watch the OL during games. I watch the ball. In fact the cameras watch the ball. So after hearing how PFF had him leading he league in sacks allowed and pressures when he was injured, I thought, "I don't remember him being a swinging gate". So I went back and re-watched the 5 games before he was injured.He had some good games Bonify’d last season.
I like the loving kind side of it,especially in the offseason. I was flying out of town Thursday night opener against Buffalo.
—Starting of as Andrew Whitworth HOF replacement going up against Super Bowl AllPro Von Miller who knew your weakness from going against you daily at practice is NO EASY TASK.
He did good against Atlanta & Zona. The Rams were 2-1
