Hav'e contract is structured so that he could be cut after 2019 without a big hit to the cap. [overthecap.com]

But I'm convinced already that Hav will be one of the Rams' core players thru this contract and possibly beyond.

I wouldn't make a right tackle a core player.

Right tackles are right tackles for a reason. It's because (with a handful of exceptions) there's more human beings who can play right tackle than left tackle.

Besides, the real question is, is Hav harder or easier to replace than any player they will lose because they signed Hav?

I agree that there's a good chance he's gone after 2019. Not because he's a bad player because he isn't a bad player. He's solid. People who study film and rank ROTS rank him anywhere from 11th to 15th or so. It's because you need to save core big contracts for players who are more than just solid and who are harder to replace.

I don’t disagree with your premise, zn. In fact, I think it’s spot on.

But so far I have to say that the Rams have been doing a terrific job of extending their elite type core players. Only when (or if) that becomes no longer possible, THEN it’s time to prune the “solid” types. But meanwhile, let’s try to have our cake and eat it, too. Lol.
