Here's den-the-coach...
The FA signings will personify McVay.
Will he be like Jeff Fisher and focus on players that have only been property of the Washington Redskins? Will he be like Milquetoast Linehan and just do whatever his defensive coordinator tells him to do or will he be like Steve Spagnuolo and go for one year rentals on players that best days are behind them?
Hopefully none of the above, but if the Rams start looking like Redskin West I’m going to be somewhat concerned. I don’t mind maybe one or two signings, but let’s hope unlike under past regimes the Wunderkind can showcase he is truly beyond his years to not focus on players that are (FOSM) Friends of Sean McVay.
This is also an area where General Manager Les Snead needs to stand up and showcase he’s improved in this area. If the Rams let Trumaine Johnson walk, they will need to sign a significant Cornerback a wide receiver and an offensive lineman and the Rams cannot afford to whiff in free agency like they did time and time again under Jeff Fisher Kenny Britt & Williams Hayes notwithstanding.
For this franchise to take a major step forward free agency will enable us to have a good barometer as to the direction of this regime and although I do believe you build through the draft, you need to sign serviceable free agents to enhance the roster and the Los Angeles Rams have not been successful at this for quite some time IMHO.
I am looking forward to the 9th of March because it’s obvious that ESK will spare no expense, but this regime needs to be able to add players that can make a contribution laying the foundation in order to restore this franchise back into the upper echelon of the National Football League!
