OFFICIAL Rams Free Agency Discussion Thread

The Bills may not take all 5 days to notify him. I mean, they could, but if they may know and decide to inform?

 

[So Ram]

Haven't heard a thing about TJ or Zuerlein but Benny has been to the Jets and the Falcons.... maybe? Depends on who you believe on twitter last night lol.






EDIT: EDIT: ignore my first edit it was a pinned tweet lol. Nothing to see here but assumptions and conclusion jumping.

That's solid though. Time will tell. Greg just signed

 

[Tron]

Damnit, just read Jerome Felton likely to sign with the Falcons. Really wanted the Rams to bring him in. A true bruising blocking FB. We need one. Hope they have a good plan to get one.

 

[manmaderam]

Byrd is a safety, no?

my bad was thinking of Alterraun Verner lol

It could be Buffalo and the Rams work out a trade. Maybe Groy can come over as a small part of a Tru deal.

I think Harkey will do fine, and he's a dual threat if they'd just use him. For some reason Fisher/Boras just decided to park him last season and he had very few snaps, and that certainly didn't help Gurley, where in 2015 PFF scored Harkey I believe at # 10 or 11 overall for FB's, and Gurley had a nice rookie season. Harkey didn't have enough snaps last year to even garner a grade. jmo.

Who's our 2 ILB's? Ogletree & Forrest? OLB's will be Quinn + draftee (or Barwin? )?
I'm totally new to 3-4 defenses, dunno what it takes for these roles now. No idea if we actually have these types of players on the roster currently. And even if we do, they'll need reprogramming (can Quinn be a 3-4 OLB??).

It would appear that Wade is very thick in inside LB'ers.Super thin @ OSLB'ers. Never know what Wade will do with Mark Barron many say strong safety few others think ISLB. That would be the first question Wade needs to work out but if Wade likes Barron & Alexander @ safety posts then Josh Forrest would be your top prospect to line up as the strong inside LB'er post. Qgletree would be the top Weak inside LB'er. Reserves of Bryce Hager, Reggie Northrup, Cassanova Mckinzy & Nicholas Grigsby are available for action.

 

[Mr. Walker]

So I know this is a little off topic but does anyone else dislike Myles Simmons as much as I do? That dude is incredibly annoying. And to make things worse, he hasn't even seen Back To The Future or Dumb and Dumber. I've lost all respect for him.

If the Bills match Groy's deal, another quality center is now available.

Haven't heard of Zuttah, what's his story?

31. He has been a starter for the Ravens for four years. I know he was hurt in 2015, started slowly in 2016, and then turned things around enough to make the Pro Bowl. PFF had him graded middle of the pack. 14th, I believe. Known for his run blocking. He was making too much money for a team with younger and cheaper players who also play center.

Wouldnt be a bad backup plan if Bills match on Groy.

Poe just signed with ATL for one year, per twitter sources

Wanted to rescind this note, it appears I jumped the gun. Sorry peeps, he just finished his meetings with Dolphins and a decision is expected soon.

I love seeing Harkey rumbling down the field with the ball and was really disappointed with the way they did not use him last year.

Is the the 5-day period 5 working league days ?? That makes it Tuesday before they have to make the final decision ??? I guess if not then it's Sunday..

This once good NT has a chronic balky bad back. Wonder if he will play a major role or a limited?

Can not blame Cory Harkey for the offensive mess of 2016 so he probably looked better than most others based off his previous past seasons play of 2015 & 2014...but I always liked Cory's overall blocking performance than Lance Kendricks.

Or they can just say will send you our 7th if you don't match which would essentially be a 7th for Groy trade. That has happened in the past in such cases. Just give them an incentive to pass on a match.
