Man, Humphries has all the upside (other than age) EXCEPT for injuries. Here's hoping the Sports Science at LA can keep him on the field. I do think he's gonna start-- he's not just for depth.

We can say, "the Cardinals suck, ergo, DJ Humpries sucks" but it's the NFL.

before this signing, I asked Nate to come up with a list of Offensive Tackles, and Humpries name was on the list. In short here is what Nate said "He’s still a “reliable” tackle ... (but) lack of Pro Bowl caliber play.

At what the Rams are paying him it is worth bringing him in. Not much lost even if he is cut before opening day. I expect the Rams to keep their eyes open for other higher quality OTs that might become available later.

$2.5 mil for a LT is not a lot of money but it's more than the vet minimum (just over a mil) which is what Quessenberry signed for...

But most of it is guaranteed. That means he's either a Ram or if cut, a well-off couch potato.

Any recent updates on Alaric?

Not that i'm aware of. Probably won't hear anything until camp in about 10 days...

He had the previous problem with clots after 8 games in 2022 and missed the last 9. Then was back for camp and the season (I don't know if he missed OTAs in 2023). I would think since they've dealt with this before, they know the proper medications and rehab needed so maybe he only misses a month or less of the season, or nothing if he's ready to go midway through camp. Of course there's always the chance he misses more depending on how his body responds. But yeah, we should know something when camp starts.
