Man I'm psyched to see Williams play hopefully soon but I need some rumors and or some action. I'm tired of reading about the Obj tour. I love him and hope to have him back just hate reading constantly about new emerging team. I want him back here badly but with each rumor and Von Miller constantly running his mouth it's beginning to tarnish the luster.

If he'd add 15 lbs. I'd recruit him as a DE.

I want ANY 2 of these three
1) Any IOLmen capable of offering a significant upgrade to that units performance.
2) Any RB with enough vision to take what little there may be, enough playmaking ability to occasionally shake a would be tackle - and if it's not too much to ask - can be counted on to put himself between a free rusher and our QB.
3) an OLB with some bend and speed who is capable bringing the heat off the edge. This does not have to be a stud, 3 down LBer who can set the edge, shed double teams and stop the run. Nope. Can be a pure, 1 Trick Pony edge rusher for passing downs only. That seems findable and affordable. We have the steak and potatoes players on our front 7.
Now they just need some sizzle.
That kind of speed around the edge has never been seen with AD, really, and even if it's ineffective at producing QB hits/sacks from that position, just moving him off his preferred release point a split second sooner would often be enough to get AD there, not to mention the benefits to our secondary.
I believe we have enough at WR to be very effective on Offense. If the Rams do get OBJ back at some point, fantastic, .....but... at this point he's not even near the top of my wish list.

He would be an outstanding addition but it seems unlikely the Rams would beat the other suitors for him if he is on the market. Last season reminded teams what a good edge rush addition can do for a contender so this time around I expect there's going to be a lot of suitors on any rusher who hits the market.
We can dream though.

Great Point.
Takes two to make a deal. The Rams may be on their bye-week; and motivated to make a move right now. However, a viable trade-partner may want to be a little more patient.

Maybe, but if both teams are in serious negotiations, I don't think you're going to want to expose the player to injury by continuing to put him on the field. jmo.

LOL that first tweet was funny to me. Someone told me that something may or may not happen. There's a possibility that it happens but also a possibility that it doesn't.

Serious negotiations ... sure; and the injury risk is a real thing. However, some teams may still be evaluating their season and whether they want to move specific players. Some teams might be willing to act now but they want their price to be met, and may prefer to wait-it-out, to get their price.
