all that "Todd was much more injured than anyone realized" talk no doubt burned a bridge with Todd as well as with the Rams FO that was trying hard to keep a lid on the situation. Though CJ did come help us out of a jam, he came off a little smug in interviews, and gave an air of, " I can take Todd's spot/do as well as him", whereas I never got that impression from Brown. He may feel the same way in his heart of hearts but he had the good sense to never say it aloud. Which is why all things being equal the Rams with the Malcolm route, hell at these prices they could have kept them both but never seemed to even try to make that effort. That speaks volumes.
