He will like playing for Wade and along side Donald1. Can we afford what he may want to be paid?2 kwik responses. First, at what position? NS is a 4/3 tackle who doesn't necessarily translate either to NT or 3/4 DE. The closest he translates to Wade's front is AD's 3-tech spot. Second, no they most likely cannot afford both Suh and AD. Or I don't see how they can afford both. by ramsman34 6 years 1 week ago Total posts: 8462 Joined: Apr 16 2015 Back in LA baby!

Easley, who played well as a backup in 2016, signed a one-year contract and should be ready for the start of the season.Now, the question is whether the Rams can connect on a big swing and bring in Suh to play alongside linemen such as Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, Ethan Westbrooks and Easley.It became possible last week when the Miami Dolphins released Suh, midway through the record-setting six-year, $121 million contract he signed in 2015. Suh played well for the Dolphins, and recorded 15.5 sacks in three seasons, but the money became prohibitive for the Dolphins.Suh, according to various media reports, visited with representatives from New Orleans and Tennessee this week. It was not immediately known whether Suh had any other trips planned this week.Suh, who turned 31 in January, has a history of aggressive on-field incidents, but his level of play is unquestioned. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2010 draft, Suh excelled for five seasons in Detroit before he signed the big deal with Miami. Suh earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2010, 2013 and 2014.The Rams, almost certainly, will not be able to offer a big-money, long-term contract, but they might be able to sell Suh on the idea of a short-term deal and a chance at a Super Bowl ring.Suh would be a remarkable piece on a defensive line that already features Donald, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and Brockers, who had an excellent 2017 season. The only question would be whether the Rams view Suh as a nose tackle in their 3-4 defense, or an end on Donald’s other side.The Rams recently completed a run of big moves involving their secondary. They traded for Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, signed Sam Shields and re-signed Nickell Robey-Coleman. Collectively, that more than made up for the loss of Trumaine Johnson to the New York Jets via free agency.Linebacker remains a position of need after the Rams traded Alec Ogletree and Robert Quinn, but the possible addition of a talent such as Suh no doubt would be tantalizing to coordinator Wade Phillips.Easley is less of a certain bet, but he has potential. In 2016, as a primary backup at end, Easley played all 16 games and recorded 35 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.Last year, the Rams signed Easley to a one-year contract worth just under $1.8 million and viewed him as a potential starter, but during training camp, Easley tore an ACL for the third time since high school.

I know people have questions with how he would fit in a 3-4. But talent is talent. Donald switched from a 4-3 and ended up DPOY. When you have talent Wade is the best at figuring out how to get the most of a guy.Donald did not switch positions though. He is playing the exact same position in Wade's 3/4 (a 3-tech DT) that he did in Wms's 4/3. And no you can't always switch positions on guys like that. Brockers moved to 3/4 DE but then that's his more natural position whereas NT wasn't. You could not switch Donald to NT or DE and expect the same from him, he's a 3-tech all the way. Suh's best fit in the Wade 3/4 is at 3-tech. Donald's position. I suppose they could try him at 3/4 DE and move Brockers back to NT, but then as I said that wasn't his natural position.

Easley, who played well as a backup in 2016, signed a one-year contract and should be ready for the start of the season.Now, the question is whether the Rams can connect on a big swing and bring in Suh to play alongside linemen such as Aaron Donald, Michael Brockers, Ethan Westbrooks and Easley.It became possible last week when the Miami Dolphins released Suh, midway through the record-setting six-year, $121 million contract he signed in 2015. Suh played well for the Dolphins, and recorded 15.5 sacks in three seasons, but the money became prohibitive for the Dolphins.Suh, according to various media reports, visited with representatives from New Orleans and Tennessee this week. It was not immediately known whether Suh had any other trips planned this week.Suh, who turned 31 in January, has a history of aggressive on-field incidents, but his level of play is unquestioned. The No. 2 overall pick of the 2010 draft, Suh excelled for five seasons in Detroit before he signed the big deal with Miami. Suh earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2010, 2013 and 2014.The Rams, almost certainly, will not be able to offer a big-money, long-term contract, but they might be able to sell Suh on the idea of a short-term deal and a chance at a Super Bowl ring.Suh would be a remarkable piece on a defensive line that already features Donald, the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year, and Brockers, who had an excellent 2017 season. The only question would be whether the Rams view Suh as a nose tackle in their 3-4 defense, or an end on Donald’s other side.The Rams recently completed a run of big moves involving their secondary. They traded for Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters, signed Sam Shields and re-signed Nickell Robey-Coleman. Collectively, that more than made up for the loss of Trumaine Johnson to the New York Jets via free agency.Linebacker remains a position of need after the Rams traded Alec Ogletree and Robert Quinn, but the possible addition of a talent such as Suh no doubt would be tantalizing to coordinator Wade Phillips.Easley is less of a certain bet, but he has potential. In 2016, as a primary backup at end, Easley played all 16 games and recorded 35 tackles, 3.5 sacks and two forced fumbles.Last year, the Rams signed Easley to a one-year contract worth just under $1.8 million and viewed him as a potential starter, but during training camp, Easley tore an ACL for the third time since high school.
