I guess Speights and Hummel impressed enough.

I don't think the Rams could get much. He's on his last year of his contract. Maybe some CB depth?

I'm fine with the move on, if that's ultimately what we do. Jones a good, not great player. Rams don't pay ILB's unless they're Mike Singletary or Fred Warner. Plus his knee issues are creeping in. Jones wants Rams to pay him for when he ultimately goes on IR and needs surgery.

Knee issues for a Linebacker??? Huge.

Another thing is we lost our 2025 2nd Rounder for Fiske (worth it) , would love to recoup something close to it like a 4th or 3rd.

Oh, and Speights is giving me "London Fletcher" vibes (UDFA)

No, we’re really not, unless you consider one of those a starter, lead tackler, edge rusher, signal caller and potential team Captain. I thought he’d be gone next year but now it’s likely we’ll be opening against the Lions minus, AD, EJ, our starting LT, backup QB and major ? marks at CB and Kicker. We have 2 weeks. Shoot, we’ll fix it. 🤩

I think Speights has looked great and is slated to start on ST. Not MLB and certainly not calling all D signals. Hummel is a gamer but again, built like a FS not a MLB. Forget the green dot, Who steps in the middle?

Probably Speights, with a confluence of heady Safeties around. Look, E.J. is a good player, but wouldn't be surprised if Rams have "Todd Gurley" vibes about his knee.

The Rams already made it clear the weren't gonna consider a new contract for Jones till after this season. They don't pay linebackers, often unload players on their rookie deal in their final year and have been relatively cheap lately.

Jones said he was okay with the situation but apparently he isn't. It's too bad but it also kind of is what it is.

He wants to get paid now. The Rams aren't going to (or at least sure seems that way)...
