Saffold cut by Titans, signed by Bills

[El Chapo Jr]

According to Jourdan Rodrigue the Rams are going to wait and see on Noteboom. She as well as many others are expecting him to get offered more than the Rams are going to be willing to. They won't get into a bidding war for him.

Either that means they are comfortable with Edwards or Aleric Jackson at OLT or they have their eye on another option. I hope AJ has shown enough development to make them think he's ready, or that Whit returns. Noteboom could possibly net them a decent comp pick and Jackson could be a nice cheap option for a few years

If that's the case, sounds like they have a big swing in mind. Armstead could be a target. I just don't see them going with a such an inexperienced starter at tackle, just not a smart thing to do. At this rate, I'm sure most of us don't know what'll happen lol

Never miss a chance to tell us Hav will be cut. I'm almost at the point where I want him to be cut just so he can do a victory lap and go streaking in the quad. My goodness the effort put into hoping something will happen that should never happen is impressive.

Yeah I hear you there.....Hav is not getting cut. He's on a great contract for us.

The other day, he also had the Rams possibly getting a Second Round comp pick if they lose Von Miller.

Saffold soon to be 34 in June.

Still a kid! Sign him to a 6-year contract!

- Big Whit

Yeah unfortunately it's only a 5th if we do not retain him. But it looks like the Rams are putting in a lot of effort to keep the man.

Rodger Saffold?
Man, I'm old enough to remember the wrath towards him when he was hurt all the time. Funny how time changes things. Hard to believe there's still a player in the league drafted by Dumb and Dumber OG, AKA Spagnolo and Devaney

Yeah.. one of the things that's great on here is that you can, you know, read other posters and learn stuff.
Like.. you can get a max 5th round comp pick for Miller, for example.
But you'd have to actually read other posters to get that info.

Ive said this so many times and I know all you guys know it but you dont take chances with the o-line. Put something together and hooe for the best can cost you an entire season and especially when you have a Stafford back there.

Stafford gets hurt long term its a killer especially do a new contract and thats when our formula would surepy be challenged because if we patch work a line for next year and stafford got hurt well then that 1st rounder for Detroit becomes a whole lot better abd the sharks circle.

I cannot stress enough I want Miller back first and id love wagoner if its team friendly or if anyone wants to join via team friendly but all the cap room we have left or create shoupd go to a corner and MOST importantly to the O-line.

Especially forgetting skill on the line itself not only can you not just put a bunch of maybes possiblies out there and hope for the best but continuity is a huge part of a good line.


This will be very interesting to say the least.

Best example to give how important an o line is the Bengals. If they had one, we may not be champs right now.

And ... there's no such thing as a Second Round comp pick.

A lot of dough on his deal.

I sometimes wonder about a guy like Saffold....or maybe Littleton. They played with the Rams, and in Saffold's case during the dark days in St Louis, to leave and your former team wins a Super Bowl without you. THEN, you get signed again the next year. You may know the guys in the lockerroom, but the roster of brothers who were in Super Bowl 56 are a brotherhood, who will be linked forever, and you are outside of that.

That would be a cold feeling, like @den-the-coach looking at San Antonio weather reports in March....

 

[OldSchool]

The more I read about Saffold's recent injury problems the less I want him. And Armstead and cheap just are two words that won't go together this offseason unless he signs back with them on a discount.

Not after he’s cut.

Saffold Makes Clear He's 'Not Retiring'

Saffold Makes Clear He's 'Not Retiring'​

A tweet issued during Super Bowl LVI briefly created uncertainty about the veteran left guard's immediate plans.

• DAVID BOCLAIR
• FEB 14, 2022

Rodger Saffold took a moment during Super Bowl LVI to express his love for the game, complete with a “tears of joy” emoji.
Many interpreted his brief tweet Sunday evening to mean that he planned to leave the game after 12 seasons. That prompted the Tennessee Titans left guard to issue a subsequent tweet a short time later in which he clarified his intentions.

“Lord I’m not retiring,” Saffold wrote, “sheesh.”


That cleared things up – to a degree. None of that is to say, however, that Saffold’s future is fully in focus.

At 33 years old (he will be 34 before the start of training camp), he was the senior member of a Titans’ offensive line in need of a youth movement. Saffold, left tackle Taylor Lewan, center Ben Jones and right tackle David Quessenberry were all in their 30s last season.

Plus, Saffold failed to finish a number of contests because of a nagging shoulder injury, which he said might require offseason surgery.

Then there is the fact that his 2022 salary cap number is set to be $12.9 million. The team can save $10.5 million if he is released, which means he is very much a candidate to be cut.

If that was all there was to it, franchise officials easily could move on from him.

Yet Saffold played 15 regular-season games in 2021. It was the sixth straight season he made at least that many appearances and made him one of eight Titans who missed two contests or fewer.

Plus, he played well. A little more than a week ago, he took part in the Pro Bowl for the first time. He was an alternate who was added to the AFC roster when Indianapolis’ Quenton Nelson withdrew because of an injury.

In other words, it is not easy to believe the offense will be better without him.

Saffold has spent the past three seasons with the Titans after nine years with the Rams, the team that took him in the second round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He has appeared in 160 games with 157 starts in the regular season and another nine in the playoffs, including an appearance in Super Bowl LIII in his final season with the Rams.

That will not be the extent of his career. At least that much is certain.
