True, we'll never hear/know the whole story but we know the Rams don't currently value him very highly and based on the trade, the market doesn't either.

Definitely going to be interesting to see how it goes for Jones from here...

I dunno, I just don’t feel like we’re hearing the story, and like Alec Ogletree, Akers, etc we probably never will. You can’t tell me there’s a world where Jones isn’t better than any of the 5 guys they kept—I don’t care what defense they play. And injured guys don’t usually get traded. I guess we’ll know if he fails the physical.


I had Reeder getting cut. He’s the LAST guys I want to see at ILB. Fine on STs. I’m just saying as far as comparable straight line speed, they are similar. Maybe Reeder improved??? Rams know, we don’t.


I would not be surprised if EJ failed his physical

well McVay specifically mentioned Reeder and Rozeboom as starters so I am skeptical about Reeder getting cut.

Also interesting...McVay was a in a mood at that pressor

I meant in my 53 prediction I had Reeder gone. But didnt account for the EJ trade. And ya, MCV was salty yesterday. The EJ sitch is probably bothering him too. Lol

What does a 5th minus a 6th equal?

I missed that. So really, they got the equivalent of a 7th next year, if that.

a 5th minus a 6th for a green dot ...

...this is the best offer out of 31 teams. I don't know if I just asked a question or made a statement.

I noticed that too…then I thought: He just got done giving a couple dozen guys their walking papers. So that might explain it. Can’t be easy.
