Ramsey traded to Miami for ‘23 3rd rd pick(#77 overall) and TE Hunter Long

[WestCoastRam]

Can we at least give our new player the respect of his actual fucking name in the thread title?

Sheesh.

I mean I hear you but it's pretty funny. And true. Doesn't even look like dude plays special teams.

Awful trade return. Ramsey is easily a top 5 CB.

It certainly looks like Brad Holmes was the brains of this operation. Just jook at the trajectory of the Rams vs. the Lions right now, as well as the trades, free agency signings, and draft selections of the two franchise since Holmes left. Night and day.

The Rams are clearly heading for the basement of the NFL this season. They are burning it to the ground, trading big assets for pennies of the dollar, and cutting talented players to save almost no cap dollars when waiting just 1 more season would see that reverse. It will be sold as a quick re-build. "We need the cap space". "We need the draft capital". "We need to re-tool". And in the NFL, franchises can certainly turn things around on a dime. But my fear is, once back in the basement, the Rams will prove completely incapable of climbing out of it, now that Brad Holmes is in Detroit.

It’s all about 2024/2025.

This better be a huge salary dump so we can sign Mayfield.

I thought I read somewhere that Mayfield was going to sign with the Saints.

I'm sure Ramsey isn't too upset about the millions he's going to save in taxes as well.

 

[Memphis Ram]

So, they traded him somewhere he wanted to go, got the #77 overall pick, and probably their starting TE looking at Higbee's cap number.

Lions got a 3rd & a 5th rounder from the Eagles when they traded Darious Slay a couple years back. Slay was 2 years older, but was on the final year of his contract.

I've got no problem with the deal.

Bucs seem to be the team with the strongest link to him, but a lot is going to happen in the next week.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

After reading Hunter Long’s pre draft profiles he sounds like a Higbee clone.

My Bad! I think it was the Bucs that I heard was rumored to be signing Mayfield. Thanks for the correction!!

Sheesh.

Okay

I knew there would be a melt down once it happened. 3 is a little disappointing but we are out from under his overpaid ass and can load the secondary with some young legs. Onward and upwards.

Thanks for everything Jalen. We will always have Paris.

Even you have to admit this is a terrible return. From what I understand we still take a huge cap hit this year, so we really are not out from under him, unless there is some other money aspect to this deal I’m not aware of.

A return this underwhelming is an extreme disappointment. I’d rather have kept him for one more season.

After reading Hunter Long’s pre draft profiles he sounds like a Higbee clone.

Unfortunately though, after seeing his first 2 seasons of utter disappointment, he sounds more like a Brycen Hopkins clone

 

[12intheBox]

Suboptimal.

 

[TexasRam]

How fucking sad.

I get the argument for freeing cap
Space and retooling.

But Geez. We just got raped in terms of value.

Why would we dump salary on a starting CB to sign a backup QB? That’s terrible team building

 

[Ram Ts]

Salary dump package

 

[ottoman89]

You were right, might be time to look for a new GM.

I never want to say "I told you so" but I've had this worry for a year now and it seems to become more and more evident.

I don't give a damn where his preferred destination is. This is about the RAMS not Ramsey.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Long was the #3 TE and none of the Dolphins TE stood out in 2022.

Rams fire sale at SoFi, ... I think I'll hurry over there and see if I can't get a deal on Kroenke's helicopter.
