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

[ottoman89]

More I think about it, the more I'm wondering if a Stafford/Donald retirement and a complete destruction of the 2023 cap might not be so bad after all. Would be in the drivers seat for Caleb Williams

I said it to a buddy, if you trade Ramsey, trade Donald too.

The one benefit to the Ramsey trade is now the Rams can restructure contracts pushing salaries into 2024 giving them cap space and maybe be able to keep someone like Gaines.

Robinson and a 4th for a 6th.

We laugh but that might actually happen just as another desperate move to get under the cap.

Yeahhhh liking our corners is a huge problem to me.

 

[RamFanWA]

Stupid trade. Unreal. Next year down the drain. Hopefully this gets Morris fired next year because the defense will be awful

they still be playing 10 yards off the receivers - so, let's not further waste a good CB....

The door is now wide open for Durant and company to get Uber PT and step up. The draft will bring reinforcements as well. I’d bring in a vet Safety in FA.

No. They are two distinct and separate problems.

You have Ramsey and what to do with his aging, grabbing, holding, ego-driven and overpaid ass. And you have the fact that we have drafted like shit with the corners prior under this regime.

But let's disagree. We usually do anyway so nothing to see here.

I'm in total vent mode and you are looking at things objectively, at least for today it will be hard for us to see eye to eye. Lol.
I love the Rams much more than I hate this trade, but I'll need the rest of today for convalescing

I like you as my doctor my friend

Good, because his main practice is as a proctologist, so bend over.

 

[AZRams]

I was in favor of the move for the draft capital...but, WTF is this?

A 3rd and a backup TE? For a top 3 Corner in the league?

I get trying to do right by your player but this feels like giving away the store to a certain degree. Left some stuff on the table with this I think...

 

[jrry32]

This is a really disappointing trade.

 

[Ram_Rally]

Hope Robert rochell is ready.

 

[AvengerRam]

So basically with the last 8 first round picks the Rams have had, they've parlayed that in to adding a Matt Stafford on life support and a Tight End who Snead thought was related to Howie Long

Well, that and a Lombardi Trophy.

Gaines is the kind of guy they need to be careful tying up money with. Good player and productive but if they overpay him he will follow the likes of Woody, Cooks, Floyd in them looking at that contract later with regret.

As good as the Rams have been they really haven't done a great job in the planning who to pay side of things. They make a lot of mistakes and then sidestep some of the pitfalls due to having a top coach in place. This is one of those rare decisions they have made that will be wise IMO. So I'd be very careful with who I pay from this point forward if we're going with a draft/develop model.

We have a world class DL coach who maximizes what he's got. Let Gaines go get his payday somewhere else. Draft some kids for Henderson to coach up who will play balls out and show great hunger snap to snap. They're cheap and will help us have operating space for adding key pieces next year as hopefully this roster quickly turns the corner.

I know this is a rough time for Rams' fans but it's OK to be a little optimistic ... Look on the bright side.

Hunter Long has played 183 snaps in two seasons.
Albert Breer (above) posted that the 'Rams like their young CB Robert Rochell'

So, on the bright-side, Long and Rochell are REALLY well-rested.

Sarcasm aside, this really does suck.

Yeah man. Sorry and I get it. I don't mean to be smug about this but I am relieved that we moved him. It's very un-Rams like to get ahead of his decline and my fear was they would restructure him out and we'd end up carrying a bigger bag down the road. Cheers.

 

[dieterbrock]

Well, that and a Lombardi Trophy.

Sshhh... I'm venting....
