I’d spin the wheels on Howard as the third TE. He hasn’t lived up to his draft status but as a backup he’s intriguing. Still young and very athletic. Also a big body, dude is massive. Thoughts?

I doubt the rams get him. There has to be a reason why the dude can't last with any team.
Shouldn't our TE3 or TE4 be one of our teams best blockers ?

Does he still have his Bills playbook?

I think remember reading that Howard greatly improved his blocking recently under Arians, after Arians made a comment about TEs being around the block and not catch passes, which pissed a lot of TE and OJ Howard boosters off?
In any event, I do not want Howard. He was hyped coming out of college but has not lived up to it and has had plenty of opportunities. As always, I would defer to the Rams pro scouting entirely if they deem him worth acquiring. They rarely if ever miss. But I'd rather roll with what we have in house. I do think he will find a home soon. He has talent, TE is a thin position, and lots of rosters far weaker than the Rams will be looking to add talent in whatever form they can find it.
Won't matter he wasn't studying it anyhow. Word on the street was him and G Rob were practicing rap lyrics instead of the playbook.

Let's Make the Rams Great Again
I think the biggest knock on OJ Howard was his trouble picking up playbooks and schemes... at least from what I've read. He seems like a great physical talent, but a lot of times that doesn't transfer to an NFL field. Maybe McVay and crew could teach him...? I'd be down to try him but not sure whose roster spot would be worth the risk
That's exactly it. Hasn't looked like the same player since tearing his Achilles. Looked like he was going to be a star back in 2018.
I guess the juice got loose.

Riddle me this Batman. Who was the better pick?
Josh Ross #9’cinncy?
OJ Howard #17
Or Les Snead trading back & drafting Gerald Everett? Adding John Johnson.
Just in salary cap alone The Rams did better. Add the comps picks as well.
Snead talks about winning a championship in April(March)
