I doubt the Rams go after Trent Williams. Where's he going to play on the line? RG? RT? LG? LT? I know he's not taking Whitworths spot and there's no reason to bench Edwards he's probably been our 2nd best lineman since starting 2 weeks ago. I doubt we give up the Farm for a 31 year old guy whom is constantly injured. What he might have another year or two max in the tank? Nope, don't do it rams, don't do it.

I agree, the thought of trading what they're likely asking for him would be foolish for the Rams to give up. Offseason maybe right now though hard pass IMO.

Probably not Williams but something to address RG deficiency please (perhaps in house but the Rams are not shy about looking outside for help).

Agreed, if he was about 4 years younger without the injury history I’d be all in and just deal with having too many tackles this year in the anticipation of Whit retiring. But it just makes no sense as is.

I hate reading that ... because I really like Gurley ... but for at least this season, you may be right. At minimum, the OL problems have gotten into Gurley's head and made him indecisive on a lot of runs, where Henderson doesn't seem to have that problem. I'm hoping it's a temporary thing, like 2016 was with Todd ... but for the present time, it appears that you have correctly stated reality, even if I and others don't like it.

It's not the OL "into his head", it's his knee condition.

The Browns OL is really bad. I bet they make a large offer. Possibly even a player and a pick.

Rumors have it that the Redskins want a player to grow with Haskins and a pick(s) for him. Not sure what the Browns really have that's tradeable other than maybe Njoku who seems to be developing an impressive injury history.

There problem is the have a lot of talent but no leadership. Coach /QB/ defense are not ready for Primetime.

I'm sure they could satisfy demand though, it's just a matter of if they want to do that.

Two 1sts for Ramsey for possibly a year and a half doesn't seem any better.

Ramsey is far greater of a gamble than Williams so two firsts for him isn't much more than a first for Williams for the same amount of time.
