Nice comment from Gregg Rosenthal (NFL.com) on the Rams (good to see that someone gets it):

5) All that talk about the Rams being "all in" for 2018 was nonsense.

The Rams made a number of aggressive moves last offseason, but the idea that it was "2018 or bust" never made any sense. The Rams didn't hurt their future cap situation and their core players (Aaron Donald, Todd Gurley, Jared Goff, Robert Woods, Brandin Cooks, etc.) aren't going anywhere. Their early moves in free agency are a reminder that they can continue to be aggressive.

Eric Weddle will essentially replace LaMarcus Joyner for one-third the price. The one-year, $14 million contract for pass rusher Dante Fowler was a coup for the team even if he comes with risk. Los Angeles leveraged Fowler's great experience with the team after it traded for him into Fowler accepting a "prove-it" deal in the mold of Ndamukong Suh's contract with the Rams last offseason. Fowler could have surely seen more guaranteed money on the open market, but his experience in Los Angeles was enough for him to believe that he can cash in even bigger in 2020 after a full season with the team. They are likely to allow guard Rodger Saffold (and Suh) to walk, partly because they believe they have Saffold's in-house replacement in 2018 draft pick Joseph Noteboom. The team has other roster holes, but GM Les Snead's track record proves he can be creative in filling them.

Allen is good, he and Noteboom practiced with the starters all last season while Saffold and Sullivan got plenty of rest. They need to find backups for those two though.

ODB went with the Browns offer, McVay is happy with the Rams receiver corps.

"Temporary" in house replacement. He'll replace Whitworth in 2020 unless they draft a LT at #31, which might be the best possible move they could make if one were available.

This would probably be a bad week for Snead's calculator battery to go dead.

There might be a few better receivers out there than any of the Rams top 3. But I don't see a better trio of receivers than Cooks/Woods/Kupp.

And, especially if, Josh Reynolds really starts to see the light this year we will have the best Quad WR group by far.
