On the bright side, Donald didn't get hurt in preseason and won't get hurt on Sunday. And if Tanzel Smart plays well for a couple of weeks AD might need to call his agent and pull a Trump/Pelosi kind of "deal." I suppose it depends on the urgency of the situation for both sides. I'd love Donald to be in pads, but it's the offense that is going to float or sink the good ship Kroenke.

That top tweet is where I'm starting to think the problem lies. AD wants his money NOW, not next year, and we just don't have the money this year. I think the Rams want to pay him next year and the one or two years after, when they have the money, and to lessen the cap hit. It's the inability to pay THIS year that, to me anyway, seem to be the big issue. Complete speculation of course.

and it shows what a "me first" not a "we first" kinda guy tru really is, if he cared about the rams, his team, rams fans, he would give back so the rams could sign donald, in fact the same goes for all rams players, a pretty self-centered bunch now that i think about it, fuck them, don't they know i want to pull for a winner, and deserve bragging rights at the office cooler?

Well, if everybody re-worked their contracts and took a ten percent pay cut, they could pay Donald what he wants. Selfish players.

Amazing how perception is. Tru has ransomed the Rams in to a near 17 mill salary this year despite never even making a pro bowl. He allegedly turned down a trade, and will likely be gone after the season yet "fans" are villainizing Donald. Classic

The players are selfish, i mean i'd play for free.

Of course that's because no one would ever pay me to play, let alone pay to watch me play, but i hardly see what that has do do with anything...

Right. Jerk.

So, remind me again, which guy refuses to play for the Rams, until he gets his way?

Tru is gtting paid 3x what he's worth, of course he's showing up
Which of course is preventing the Rams for paying Donald what he is worth. Offer Donald 3x what his value is and he'd be there with bells on
