I was more interested in a Saquon reclamation project but looks like that ship has sailed.

There's no way Carolina keeps him on his current deal. His cap hit the next three years: $19.5 mil, $19.5 mil, $15.4 mil.

I wouldn't mind him being a Ram on a new deal. He's only 26.

It is a shame the most talented RB in the league just wasting away in Carolina, but he sure hasn't been a model of health the last few years. Id take a chance if there was a way to restructure his salary but I have no idea what we would have to give up to get him and we really would be better off looking for some Olineman to trade for. But its fun to dream he would definitely supercharge our run game. Maybe we could get them to take Akers as part of the deal with a Mid round draft pick. Surely he would take a pay cut to get out of carolina and come win a superbowl.

Akers and a mid rd pick or 2 would be plenty. Question is would he be allowed to restructure contract? Does players union allow that if overall sum goes down?
 
Love him injury prone don't believe the Rams will ever spend that money on a RB again lesson learned and especially not one that is oft injured.

Pass

However I would rather target Brian Burns if anything that's a player that could not only fill an immediate need but should or could we sign him long term would (and I mean this in the smallest away as nothing will hurt more) also help with life after AD. That's who I try for or Sweat if I can get him discounted but Burns is target A!

Rams aren’t going to pay a RB that kind of $$$ under McVay.

Made an off-handed comment in the late game thread about Matt Rhule's shitty offense and what this guy would look like in an actual NFL offense.

Sure we couldn't afford it but fun to dream...

I would have rather had Josh Jacobs. There was rumors about the Raiders not wanting to pay his fifth season. I was licking my chops. I love how he runs hard but still makes great moves.

We'd never pay for him, but it'd be fun to have him. He has so much talent but his overuse and injury history should have everyone concerned. Granted, so many RB's get hurt and bounce back, can't say he would/would not. Would love to see what he'd look like in a stronger system like the Rams.
 
He’s averaged 156 carries per season with Carolina.
Hardly workhorse material
 
Looks like 26 for a running back might be like 30 at other positions.

Check out how few running backs from the past couple of years have been older than 26:

Plus, this guy's an "old 26".
Would not appear to be a solid get on paper.

neither rb for the rams is very good, injury excused or not. and a poor blocking o-line doesn't help out either. damn, Whitworth was that good after allm, even @ 40. maybe if they have some picks next year they can try to find a healthy rb to draft or it will become "f*ck them healthy backs".

I think they are both pretty good, and both are healthy. There is no injury excuse needed. When both ran on quick hit runs, they gained positive yardage, on trap delay runs they got smothered. No back is immune from that.
Look at the 49ers, they played with their 2 OT's and what? Their 3rd string RB? And yet...
Its scheme, plain and simple
