Wade is living close to his daughter he will not go anywhere unless he has health issues or burns out otherwise I see him doing this for as long as he can. Now as far as the trade well the picks are great obviously you have to hit on some or most but I don't think the Rams are hanging there hats on these picks all mid to late rounders. They must have something else in mind via free agency some players loyal to wade maybe a veteran or two that can keep it warm til the youngins can step up tampering or not who knows what goes on behind the scenes I'm sure wade has kept friendly with some of the linebackers we will be needing. Honestly I'd love to be able to resign Donald then Watkins or Allen Robinson then Poe then or the Titans dude who got hurt but his name slips my mind lol then NRC and a corner like talib ......can this be done with the cap space available????? Tru is not coming back especially after this trade and the cash he wants
Ogletree traded to Giants

Thing is, we HAD a good 4-3 defense before Wade got here. He comes in, and sure we ranked top ten overall, but that's only because teams were running for 7 ypc against us instead of passing. Now we end up getting rid of all of our players to build a 3-4. We're probably two years away from having a middle of the road defense now at this rate.
Are you kidding? We're going to get a 6th rounder for him!
Nah, I think our defense will be better this next year than last year. Patience young grasshopper. Offseason has just begun.
yep, we were all saying the defense was gonna get overhauled after the falcons loss. just starting the process.

Even though I liked Tree because he was a Ram, I also like this move by the Rams. Ogletree was not a fit as a 3-4 inside linebacker. With this trade the Rams free up cap space and a roster spot for someone (yet to be named) who will be a much better fit. Like others here have noted, I thought he was a fixture due to the extension but truth be told I would pick a healthy Barron over Tree. Decent Inside 3-4 backers are not hard to find and do not usually cost 10 mil a season. I actually hope the Rams keep Barron around now but I suspect he could still be cut or traded.
After this trade Spotrac says the Rams now have $47+/- mil, (includes the 11,287,00 for Joyner) Add another $3 for dumping Tavon and the Rams will have around 50 mil in cap space with Joyner already secured for anther year at least. If you set aside the extra 14 mil needed to extend Donald, who already counts 6.89 mil against the cap, then that leaves the Rams 36 million in usable cap space. Take out 7 mil for the rookie pool and 3 mil for in-season cash then our Rams have about 26 million to work with for upcoming free agency.

I was ready to make changes after the Redskins game.
But the thing is, why try to run a 3-4 if you don't have the personnel?

I understand it, but the Giants got the better end of this deal IF they play Alec where he should be, in the WILL position. Let him chase and you have a Pro Bowl addition to the Giants defense.
Sad day for Rams fans. Seriously man, I love Alec. Best of luck to you and family AO!!!
Like others have said, In Wade we trust. As much as I loved Tree's leadership, his play as a MLB was suspect and at times a liability.
generally the 2nd year of wade's tenure is when the d really takes off. i don't have anything to back that up but that's my take, mainly due to his broncos stint i guess.
wade is one of the best and i'd much prefer have him and make a few changes than not have him. let's revisit at the end of this season.

This is a complete defensive rebuild ln a team that just won the division. I trust these coaches but I'm honestly a little scared
Their d coordinator is the cardinals old dc. Runs a 3-4 as well.
With his contract, we'll have to relinquish a 3rd or 4th rounder to have a team eat up the cap space of his contract.
Maybe the Rams Next Big announcement will be the signing of "Donald's 120 Mil. Contract!" that would soften this Blow!!
