So how bout Fox eh?

The DL decisions would be even harder if Pasat had not torn up his knee. I think he would have made a strong case too.

BTW The Rams have done a great job of supplementing their D-Line Depth and with UFDA's and veteran castoffs.

I thought Fox was an interesting possibility when they signed him. I saw his college highlight tape and it was ridiculous, of course he played D2 I think and he was just a man among boys, but you also have to think it may have just taken him time to adjust to the level of play.

I hope they can deal Sims and keep Fox. For a team short on a high pick next year, why not take a shot on this guy over a 30 year old that is more costly when you consider the number of players they need to sign next year. Sims will likely be a cap casualty anyway next year.

This DL was a hard cadre unit that any 2016 rookie UDFA would find hard to crack in 2016. Was there really a chance or room for a DE Ian Seau? If Quinn had shown big concerns about his back surgery then a yes to some degree. But Quinn looks like he is well on the road back. When Gregg Williams finally made the move of Ethan Westbrook to the edge from the inside, since DT Easley shined so bright inside behind Donald, then add the unexpected great TC & pre season 2nd yr Matt Longacre put in......one last thing do not forget the new WSLB'er or WS safety or what ever Mark Barron ....Barron can be a quick nightmare crashing in outside the edge of our DE. Barron has some super skills in this area too. Seau has no place to fit in.

Same can be said for Morgan Fox...6-4 259 pound DT??? when you have 3 former #1 draft picks pushing for playing time with Brockers/Donald/Easley when would you yank one of them & insert Fox?? not going o happen. Then the very solid TC & PS effort by veteran Cam Thomas who ugly body fits perfect with the 3 other DT's ahead of him. Another fact that makes it impossible to find a way for Fox is that Hayes/Sims & Westbrooks can be utilized for long period of time inside without any problem. Fox has no place to fit in here....This DL unit can be the best in the NFL with a little luck.

How about a # 5 WR or a # 4 LB or a # 10 OT or a # 5 CB or a # 5 Safety, how about a future 5'th/6'th round draft pick if you value Sims so highly ?

Of the veterans I was hoping might get traded if we could find a partner...

DL.. E. Sims
DB.. L. Joyner
CB.. M. Roberson

Call me crazy but these 3 vets I'm all about trading, if Snead can FIND
a dance partner.......

A team who might be interested in Eugene Sims would be the Dallas Cowboys. He would be an immediate starter on that DL @ DE IMO. Not sure the Cowboys have a corner to exchange with.
