Tree deal was only hit last year so no lasting issue from that deal either.
Not setting a new standard on Donald when we have 3 more years of control I don't fault him either.

What you call "not setting a new standard" I call "failing to pay market value." What you call "three more years of control" I call lowballing, which is disrespectful and bad business. You don't treat your best, once a generation players that way,
And neither of us knows if any of that's the reality or not. Just disagreeing with your basic premises there.
In terms of Tree, yes there are ramifications. Signing Tree then trading him cost the Rams 6.4 M in dead money against this year's cap.

I see it differently, zn.
You want an example of bad business? Bad business would be to extend AD on unrealistic terms. Including either price or with poison pill clauses.
As another poster has said, there are many other mouths to feed on this young and talented team and they must be provided for, as well.
Smart FO’s don’t allow the tail to wag the dog.
I think Rock may be right in predicting that AD will be here through ‘20 or ‘21 via the tags, but then will no longer be a Ram. Just the way it is, sometimes.
