Elvis wrote:Ramsey wanted his contract guaranteed, Florio (of all people) wrote about this. Plus Ramsey is 29 now. You could say, he signed his contract as it is, he should be forced to honor it but that's not how the Rams roll and we saw what happened when Ramsey wasn't happy in Jacksonville.


I think this is a huge part of it. Ramsey is a great player but likely on the downside. The Rams were not going to give him all that guaranteed money so Ramsey would have been unhappy to stay. The Rams are clearly not afraid to move on.

Also, it seems the days of being forced to honor a contract in the NFL are over. The Rams acted accordingly.

We got what we got bc of his salary. But ya, we shoulda got picks next year at least. Unless Long is someone the Rams have good intel on. TE is a difficult position to learn transition to from college to pro. Maybe he will come on as a Ram???

You don't need to make a profit but you don't need to get fleeced either. The team was obviously in a bad bargaining position with the cap deadline coming up in 48 hrs. but a 3rd and a possible stiff wreaks of desperate. Not impressed.

Meanwhile, thanks for helping the team win 56.

Hacksaw said it best. Don’t let them off the hook.

I gotta ask the question where does the team go? Are you just developing young players next year? Next season?

Guys reaction I want to look at.

Aaron Donald what does he make of this? Is the conversation are y’all trying to compete? Do you want to send me somewhere to win? Or is it let’s finish strong here and get one more ring.


Cooper Kupp what’s the deal? probably he will play. Determining his injury do they become real cautious with that and bring him back next season like is this an Odell thing?


Matthew Stafford. The neck is serious is he coming back 1st game. Or I’ll throw it out again. Is this Peyton Manning where he takes a season to get his neck right.? I know he says he’s coming back. But do we see him on the 5th game of the season?


These are questions you have to ask yourself. Where is this team going? After the release of Floyd also.

Apparently Rams did like the TE coming out of the draft.

I expect the Rams to try and keep Gaines. I expect Rams will go defense in the draft but also a few picks on offense. They want high powered O again while defense matured . Next year we will have 81 mill in cap if we trade Arob too.
