Rams interested in DT Nick Fairley? (Update: Apparently so)

[Penguin.]

Keep Fairly, and trade Brockers. Brockers is not as good as Fairly in my honest opinion. He is a big man, but Fairly is a big man who can literally bully people. He just had some weight issues is all.

I have a better idea...Keep them both.

Ladies & Gentlemen meet the St. Louis Tigers....War Eagle!

I doubt it. He's on a cheap rookie contract and Fairley isn't known for being a guy that can stuff the middle like Brockers. IMO, they each would have their own role.

My only thought was he is the last year of his deal and is going to command 6M type money next year. Maybe he nets us a OT or OG in a trade. Its been a crazy off season so far. Its early but we seem more aggressive on the defensive side of the ball.

In theory that would be great, but we won't have enough cap space to keep them both, with Quinn, with Foles, with Britt, and hopefully re-doing the offensive line. Think about it in a business sense. We can't put 60-70% of our cap space into four positions.

Why? Fairley's deal is only a one year deal and Brockers fifth year option is afforable and he's still on his first contract.

This defense looks to be full of young talented players. I see no reason that this defense could not be one of the best in 2015. Then add in that the Rams defensive coaches are as good as they come with experience.

Well one thing is for sure: Opponent QBs won't be looking forward to playing us. We need a nickname for this rediculousness.

Umm... #sackcity?

Didn't Fritz Shurmer run a 5-2 that he called the Eagle while he was with the Rams? During Kevin Greene's tenure, pretty sure...

Sorry but how about they earn a nickname. I want to see them play together and destroy teams from the beginning of the season.

The more aggressive we are in FA on D, The more aggressive we can be on the O-Line in the Draft!!

I'll tell you what. I'll let KD worry about that. I would love to see us keep all of them and just brutalize some offenses this year. They didn't sell the farm to get him so I think we are just fine with this signing and can still work on the O-line. Kill or be killed.

I'd rather they use FA to fill their most desperate holes so that they can focus on BPA in the draft. Right now, it's looking like we will HAVE to take and O-lineman in the 1st and 2nd rounds no matter who falls to us.

 

[Mackeyser]

I got the nickname... And with our offense finally having a QB, we will be playing with leads... Which means our guys are gonna get to pin their ears back and really get after it!

 

[RaminExile]

Didn't see a thread on this? No one interested in the fact we got Fairley?

One year "prove-it" deal @ $5m with incentives up to $7.5.

 

[RaminExile]

Edit - I was on the wrong board - sorry. Reading "Draft/College" board instead of the main one which is why I didn't see the topic!

Feel free to delete mods!

 

[RaminExile]

$5 million one year deal is ok for me. Lets see if we can get him pumped up.

So whats the plan for Secondary? As long as secondary is weak, there is only so much Rams can do to better the DL. Thumbs down on this signing.
