He hasn't been cut yet, but he'll be cut or traded before free agency starts next week.

Welcome to the Raiders Sherm....

Can't stand him but the temptation for him to come here and stick it to his old team/Carroll is fun to ponder.

It'll probably be this.

Every post on this thread is blank except moklerman, so what happened?

Yeah I was having a problem with blank tweets as well. Go into the settings on your browser and make sure the tracking blocker is disabled. That work for me

Some insight into the Rams’ thinking on trading Alec Ogletree: They believe last year’s defense had a lot of 4-3 players who didn’t necessarily fit into Wade Phillips’ 3-4 scheme, Ogletree (and Robert Quinn, dealt to the Dolphins) among them. Signing Ogletree to an extension gave them down-the-road flexibility at that time, which they have now used to recoup draft picks.

The Alec Ogletree void for the Rams will come mostly in their locker room, which is why some players have expressed shock, even anger, through social media. Ogletree, a captain the last two years, had blossomed into a key emotional leader for them.

The Alec Ogletree trade to the Giants means there’s a pretty solid chance that ILB Mark Barron, a potential cap casualty, stays. The savings on Ogletree can be used on the Rams’ own free agents — namely, WR Sammy Watkins and CB Trumaine Johnson — and on remaking their defense to fit Wade Phillips’ scheme. In a larger sense, it’s about creating room for potential extensions with Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley and Jared Goff, who are each a year apart.

Rams' offseason needs/desires, in no particular order ...

* Watkins
* Johnson
* C
* NT/DE
* ILB
* Slot CB
* OLB
* OLB

That, in addition to figuring out a long-term deal with Aaron Donald and, potentially, Lamarcus Joyner. Spotrac has them at $47 in cap space, plus 10 picks.

This seems very reasonable.

To quote Bill Parcels.........

"You don't win Championships with great players and good coaching, you win with good players and great coaching"

Plenty of really good players in the later rounds.

Haven't heard anyone disappointed in our Coaches for the past year. Especially the NFL. Who voted McVay Coach of the year. And we all know Wade is going to the HOF.

Snead I believe has proven his skill set as well.

I am one, confident.
