Trade his ass, we cant be having a player going against our new head coaches motto of 'We not me', also if we give him this mega deal it almost all but guarantees we're gonna be very handicapped paying some of the other players set to hit free agency. PLAYERS THAT ARE PLAYING UNDER THEIR CONTRACT AND ACTUALLY GOING WITH WHAT MCVAY IS TRYING TO DO... AHEM 'WE NOT ME' <rantover>

Can I ask a question to you guys that know more about the ins and outs than me? Is he not in breach of (his current) contract if he doesn't play?

He is in breach of his contract if he does not play......of course I know as much as you do lol. But I do know he is under contact for 2 more years and the Rams have all the leverage. If the Rams want to bust chops they can hold his rights for 4 more years by making him play the 2 in his contact and then 2 year of franchise tagging him....lets hope it never gets that far.

In theory yes, but due to the situation the Rams aren't going to take this down a legal road. First the union contract limits what they can do to and outline penalties they may enforce (in effect they can't really sue for more than that), their ultimate option out would be to end the contract (which doesn't take court action and which makes him a FA) which they aren't going to do. Really all they can do is fine him for days missed and ultimately games missed.

Ah....no

The Rams are not good at rrading away future Hall of Famers - who did we get from pitt in the Bettis trade? Name me someone from the Dickerson deal besides Gaston Green? Aaron Cox?

Aaron Donald is gonna be fresh for the season and ready to go

If he's willing to play this season, then okay keep him but if he carries this shit into to the season... Id rather have a healthy Watkins under contract then a DT with a contract for 100 mill+ just my opinion.

Aaron Donald is gonna end up one of the top 3 highest paid players in the NFL if not of all time

Imagine if we had drafted both Mack and Donald in the first round - talk about breaking the bank.

And he deserves it man but really gotta pull this with 2 years left on his deal and while a new coach is trying to instill a new culture and a winning attitude. Send his ass to Cleveland if he doesn't want to win games in horns.

There is still plenty of time for him to get to camp in time for game #1, but the word you used, "disheartening" really nails it.
And if it does end up being a game of chicken, I have to ask, why?
Why draw such a line in the sand with your best player?

There is time, but if there's a stalemate and the 2 sides aren't communicating, opening day will be here before you know it.

If in fact the $70mil/guarantee is legit, then I can see why the Rams are done talking. What I don't know is what Donald wants that hasn't been offered. I would be interested to know that.

What are the penalties/fines per game missed?

And can that money be used toward other deals/contracts?
