First, no one cuts a viable edge rusher, or at least it's rare. In fact going back 10 years try to name the times any teams got a decent edge rusher that way. It's not at all common to find one on the waiver wire. Teams keep them.They could trade but then anyone you're trading for will most likely take up cap space they don't have. Second, good edge rushers tend not to be all that productive in year one (there can be a few exceptions to this). They are after all going up against hosts of professional veteran blockers who made it in the league precisely because they can pass block, and to maintain that skill they continually work on their game. Plus they are supported by savvy, tape-informed scheming and playcalling, all of which goes way beyond what any rookie edge guy faced in college. Cracking that takes some time.

Not because they don’t want to or wont try. Because like many have stated, Including Snead, they aren’t available. The Rams “spent” at Safety, interior OL, and corner. They got a steal at corner. But those other positions, and you can add ILB and RB to the list, are easier to fill at bargain prices. They aren’t getting Edge, QB, LT, or WR1 without making a serious trade. So, will they trade for an edge player? Probably not at all but possibly at the trade deadline if we are ahead of schedule (as has been stated here by many). You can call out the need and WANT it to happen. But there are a lot more moving parts to it than that. Lastly, if they do bring someone in, someone else has to get cut. They aren’t doing that for a lateral talent move.

But those other positions, and you can add ILB and RB to the list, are easier to fill at bargain prices. They aren’t getting Edge, QB, LT, or WR1 without making a serious trade. So, will they trade for an edge player? Probably not at all but possibly at the trade deadline if we are ahead of schedule (as has been stated here by many). You can call out the need and WANT it to happen. But there are a lot more moving parts to it than that. Lastly, if they do bring someone in, someone else has to get cut. They aren’t doing that for a lateral talent move.

While I believe they don't expect to compete, they have to be prepared in case they surprise everyone and win more games than predicted. Plus, you need serviceable backups so Stafford doesn't get sent into early retirement. If there is only one area you want to improve this season, the offensive should be it. by ramsman34 10 months 1 day ago Total posts: 8674 Joined: Apr 16 2015 Back in LA baby!

Not because they don’t want to or wont try. Because like many have stated, Including Snead, they aren’t available. The Rams “spent” at Safety, interior OL, and corner. They got a steal at corner.
