Haynesworth didnt make Washington a winner.
Suh didnt make Detroit a winner
Richardson didnt make the Jets a winner.
NGata didnt make the Lions a winner
Corey Luiget hasnt made the Chargers a winner
Overpaid? Yessir, thier impact is greatly distorted. I dont believe Aaron Donalds impact is distorted as far as our team goes. But the above list didnt seem to impact thier teams greatly enough to turn them into winners.
Richardson will be hard to judge on the left coast, since the Seahawks were winning before his aquisition.
Suh helped Miami and Detroit both win in ways they weren't before he joined the team. Richardson isn't an elite player. Ngata was old and declining when he went to the Detroit. The Ravens won a Super Bowl with him. Liuget isn't an elite player (or even a very good player). Haynesworth gave no effort in Washington.
Donald isn't going to make the Rams win by himself, but he certainly has a major impact on this team. We all know because we all watch the games.
Marshall Faulk didn't make Indianapolis a winner. But you aren't about to convince me that he didn't have a MASSIVE impact here and in Indy.
To assume THAT, is to say the Rams are sneaky and calculating and manipulating...and that is way over the top in my opinion.
I do assume that, and I hope it's true. The Rams need to be sneaky, calculating, and manipulative when negotiating.
How do we know they did? It might be a case of loose lips. A lot of that going around these days in high places.
We don't know. But with how seriously these people take their jobs, I don't see loose lips being an issue. How many people beyond Demoff, Snead, and Kroenke are going to be privy to the Donald negotiations? Maybe McVay and Wade. Beyond that?
