This is how it goes with the Rams: They say they're interested in extending a player. There's very little news. We get nervous. Deal happens: Donald, Gurley, Cooks, Goff, Ramsey.

Definitely a pattern here but the Rams get the deals done they want done. Doesn't mean they always work out (Gurley and Cooks for example) but they do get it done.

And there's the one's we never see coming, like Higbee last year.

So who's next?

Could be he was just upgrading his media platforms all at once,, but unfriending the Rams at the same time? We'll see I guess.
A lot of outside / political stuff oozing into pro sports these days. A lot of ugliness has been exposed as well. Transformational yet disheartening times for sure.

Supposedly a deal with Kupp is close.

Haven't seen numbers yet but should bring his 2020 hit down and get us under the cap:

ramsman34 wrote:Was just texting Elvis about the Kupp deal. I wonder if they are waiting to see Van Jeff and leveraging his performance against Kupp? Probably not and there would be 31 teams in line to snatch Kupp if we let him go. I posit McVay needs 3 top WRs for his offense AND good TE play. So, hopefully a Kupp deal announcement if forthcoming.

And, I sent you a PM.


Rappaport, on NFL live said that the Rams are trying to get Kupp signed but don't know logistically if they can at this time.

Makes sense to me.


On NFL live Rappaport was saying that the Rams research showed that when Ramsey and Donald were on the field at the same time they were a top 5 defense. They just wanted to make sure that it would be the same under the new DC. Apparently Ramsey was the second best player in camp next to Donald, so they decided it would work.

I am watching what you’re watching. That’s impressive. I think Staley’s D is going to really showcase that tandem and provide real problems for opposing offenses. We get our first look Sunday!!!
