Trumaine Johnson's irresolute situation had an interesting twist on Tuesday, the first day teams can negotiate with outside free agents, when a source confirmed to ESPN's Josina Anderson the Los Angeles Rams are actively shopping their primary cornerback.

There's no reason for all the bellyaching.

I don't feel bad for any young man who gets paid to play a sport making 5-10x what he'd make had he got just an entry level job out of college. And going bankrupt? Its disgraceful

I do. But to explain why would involve discussing things that border on politics, so it's probably not a good idea.

 

[KOWALSKI]

yeah, no shit. of course they are shopping him. but there is no market for him and snead and demoff trying to create that.
unlike ian rap, josina only says that the rams trying to trade him. but i don't see anything about teams being interested.

I guess we'll find out, Jeff. I figured you'd be fishing in Montana right now instead of posting on a Rams message board.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

You ever have anything positive to say?

 

[KOWALSKI]

wade was an awesome hire
aaron donald is a hall of famer
and the rams are the greatest franchise in the nfl.

Todays rumor mill just isn't as good as it used to be . only 24 hours till free agency and hardly a decent rumor out there

In the old days when we were this close to free agancy there were hundreds of usless rumors out there

The whole TruJo situation has been IMO brilliantly played by the front office. They clearly didn't want him back at that price and read the market well knowing teams with cap space wanted him. So they tagged him with the correct tag, netting two firsts if he signed elsewhere. Now with him having signed the tender they float out the thought he might not be a fit and not be signed long term. This drove up interest from the other teams encouraging them to try to trade for him. If they used the other tag all the could get was a comp next year and had no leverage to trade him. This whole situation tells me Wade doesn't think he's a fit and there are FA out there he thinks he can work with in addition to draft picks.

3rd rounder should do the trick, if that's too high then teams are nuts
If the Rams expect more than that, they are nuts

Unless they don't trade him and the Rams are stuck with that albatross of a cap hit
If this was by design and they cant pull off a trade then its a total failure

Thank you much. Tru signed so there goes that theory .

--Tru holds all the cards then. Paid the most of any CB in The NFL . That's sick .
Cousins the same.Takes some balls & trust in yourself.
It is a win win man !! How is this not good ?? The Rams have to be able to protect themselves as well.
The Rams or any other team has to pay a big contract. The player has to play though for another contract the following year .

So, what if he ends up being paid more than any Corner in the NFL? Next year another corner will have that title. In four years he will seem like a bargain compared to what the top corners will be paid. The cap keeps going up and so do the contracts.

Not at all, we get the use of a decent CB for a year and are practically guaranteed the top comp pick for him next year. It's so much easier and healthier to be positive and constructive than just be negative about everything. This will work out for the best.

 

[JackDRams]

I'm gonna use this thread for the sake of venting, because I don't wanna start another one.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE ALL THE RAMS RUMOURS??? This is the most boring start to free agency I can remember.

4th or 5th tru is overrated

But you were saying that the reason the Rams played this card is because he doesn't fit in Wade's defense. So now we are paying a guy who doesn't fit 16.7 mill? Yeah that wouldn't be good.
Of course I don't think this is by design at all, I don't think the Rams tagged him just to trade him

 

[dieterbrock]

4th or 5th tru is overrated

Not sure if that's true (no pun intended) but with that whopper of a price tag it sure lowers his trade value imo

 

[SteezyEndo]

Well we can all be positive, but this trade would of went in a blink of an eye if it was someone like AD tier, but since its Tru we may not be so lucky and we already inflated his worth. Let's just hope we see W's with whoever we sign. Go Rams!

 

[CanRamFan]

I don't know who this guy is but also saying Rams are asking for a 2nd rounder plus later pick on his website.
