OBJ proved Aaron Donald right

[So Ram]

Exactly. It’s not a pick for player lost deal. And with the cap room the rams will have you can bet they’ll be brining in some fa themselves.

Saffold ? Is his contract a players option, or team option for 2018 ??

 

[So Ram]

Not likely, remember only 32 picks are handed out...two guys in their mid-30's who are coming off one year deals aren't likely to get giant FA contracts ....

also remember that FA losses are also offset by team signings....so if the Rams spend on big free agents they may not get comps for the big name losses they have.

Well was Sammy Watkins worth a 2nd rd pick ? There is a lot of season left , but McVay & Goff keep trying to make him happy.

I hope y’all are as good at your jobs as you are at managing a 200 million dollar NFL franchise, it’s related cap, player contracts and personnel, and oh btw, coaching and play calling, time management, rookie development, and the attendant egos of the greatest age 20 something athletes on the planet.

Sorry...of course you are, and I’m equally sure each and everyone of you is killing it in fantasy.

Speaking of fantasies.......

 

[VegasRam]

Right. At his own risk. But this is why players are reluctant to play out rookie deals

Then they shouldn’t sign ‘em.
Bosa didn’t.
I am way more upset about what entertainers make. It’s fucking obscene, especially given the crap they produce.
I care about what I make, and everyone else - get as much as you can.
If it’s not enough, change jobs.

Bosa didn’t.

Yes he did.

Has this been a career ending injury, Odell would get his 8 from next year and that is all. It's all hypothetical but it highlights many of these players gripes with their contracts

Of course we do. What you don’t ever see is “you guarantee me x million dollars, and I get (permanently) injured, you only owe me x/y money. “

Or I don’t maintain my current level of productivity, you owe me x/z money, or the guarantee is based on an escalating minimum number of incentives.

See JJWatt.

Eventually - when he got what he wanted.

This actually happens a lot.

huh? little confused since we were talking comp picks. If he goes in FA then you won't get a 2nd round back, the highest pick you get is a 3rd round (actually end of 3rd so more like a 4th round), and that would only happen if he got a huge FA contract and the Rams did not sign any FA themselves. Remember they base it off a calculated net loss so ....what happens with him doesn't happen in a vacuum.

Now if you are asking if he was giving a 2nd round for that is to be determined.....

Yeah - Goff really got some good tape on him quitting on routes.He came in with a great attitude. I think McVay went away from after the Niners game to try to get Tavon more involved.
Why mess with a good thing ? I know there is a lot of season left. My hope is that this loss really sparks Watkins.
