Can't sign everyone: Joyner seemed expendable not just because we signed Cooks but because any money that would have gone to Joyner would be money that couldn't go to Peters.

It is but he’s signed for $8 million this year the extension is for 5 and $80 million. So if you combine this year with the extension both numbers are accurate. In the end we traded our first round pick to have a WR play 6 years for $88 million.

Because he is not a free agent yet, that's the main reason. Plus Im not certain he is better.

He is better and way less injury prone. We signed a better player for $1.5 mil a season less than Watkins. I’m happy with it.

So basically, the Rams signed Cooks for Watkins $$ (starting NEXT year) sight unseen. What will be the reaction if Cooks puts up #s somewhere BETWEEN his yearly averages and Watkins' #s from last season?
I see this as a realistic scenario when you consider Cooks will be splitting targets with Kupp, Woods, and our TE duo. There's also a guy named Gurley who had the second most receptions last year and will be getting a lot of carries.
At the very least, the Rams have to make the playoffs, and Cooks' have to be better than Watkins' were, not to mention Donald has got to get a new deal.

His cap hit will be close to his 8.495 Million already accounted for as his 2018 salary. What he gets is upfront money as a signing bonus. Rams don't usually go high on signing bonuses and like to do pay as you go. They could be going higher with the new contracts they need to do. Say they give him between 4-6 Million for each year. I imagine 20-24 Million signing bonus.
