QuoteAlbaNY_Ram <snipped> AJ is signed thru 2026 and if he collects all of his workout bonuses, option bonuses, and per-game bonuses (and if my match is correct) he is in line to collect $90,934,220 over the next three years. Assuming that he stays relatively healthy, this means that he'd be asking for an extension after the 2025 season, no? Not completely hating the idea becausby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotealyoshamucci Not to speak for Deadpool but I think he and I both have latu as the #1 edge with turner and verse after. I think Latu is my 8th overall with turner at 9. Verse I think is 15. For me it's three things... First, the arsenal and hand usage is mature and ready to go, but also indicative of willingness to learn. Second, the overall disruption by Latu is next level.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I've not noticed any consistency with respect to which of these two players will come off the board next behind Dallas Turner. Is there any consensus amongst the board's draft experts? Given that the Whiners are in our division, I like that I've heard that Verse is stout against the run. But I've also heard that he's not a natural 260-lbs and that the muscle-building that he's had to engageby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Is there a WR5/6 that can be an effective K/PR for us? Don't remember if Tahj Washington has that as part of his background. Regardless, our inability to gain ANY yardage in PR is pretty old.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I really like the idea of pairing him in tandem with Williams. Would like to see him in the 3rd round...or Schrader in 5th/6th.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I came away convinced that, should the Rams have an opportunity to select a highly-rated QB in the draft...they should take it. As much as I'm impressed with Stafford's ability to take a hit; pull himself off of the turf; and, continue to play well, I think that both McVay and the Rams are taking for granted that this will always be the case - even at his (Stafford's) age and investment in theby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

Quote4.126 Audric Estimé - RB - Notre Dame - 5'-11" 221 lbs. - The Rams have built a line for mauling opponents so it makes sense to add a hammer to the backfield. He has excellent contact balance, decent agility and can catch the football. Compliments Williams well. I def think drafting another RB is a necessity as Williams has demonstrated some durability issues and, like you say...paiby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I'd have to agree that it's better to live in a neighborhood that has one. My current neighborhood is non-HOA. It's a nice neighborhood and, for the most part, we haven't had too many issues (but we've had some).

Been really disappointed with them declining to show more Rams games with vintage Aaron Donald performances. I get it...he's a defensive player who likely never had an opportunity to make a house call. But man...he's had 3 & 4-sack games as well as games where he didn't record a sack (but absolutely dominated just the same).

High praise from the Kelce brothers. Gives me a new perspective on my prior (misguided) perception that AD hadn't been much of a factor in playoff games prior to the 2021 Super Bowl season.by ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
I think that the Rams would be wise to keep Donald close to the organization through spring and summer. I don't know the man, but...I've seen people who are burnt out from their jobs. He didn't look like that. Tired of OTA's, mini/training camp? Yeah. Tired of a 17-week grind? Maybe. But of fall/winter NFL football? Nah. He might be full now, but I think he's gonna start to get hungry towarby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteLSURAM Sorry about the half message, was trying to write from my phone. To summarize : Wauffle and AD had spoken almost weekly his whole career. Donald indicated to Wauffle after the Lions game that he felt he would retire but wanted to take some time to be sure. The plan had always been to announce in March. The only noteworthy statement I heard was Donald’s frustration recentlyby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteStafford9 But AD wants to be paid for his worth and money motivates him. In his eyes he trains the way he does to be paid as the highest paid defensive player, every Ram fan has witnessed this.

Quotesince68 "Note that if AD had played this year and then left his cap hit would have been $25M this year and then $25.2M next year so AD retiring nets the Rams $7.9M in cap space this year and makes no difference to 2025 (assuming the Rams opt to push most of the cap hit to next year)."

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram The screen shot below is from It reflects AD's deal after he restructured. First thing, under 'Guaranteed Salary' there's nothing for 2024 so that $1.125M salary shown for 2024 is out the window. Next, under 'Prorated Bonuses' there are separate columns for 'Signing' and 'Option'. The Rams are on the hook for the pro rated signing bonuses shown for '24, '25, and '26.

Although I don't believe that Wentz is a world-beater, I do believe that he's better than Jimmy G. What?
