I think Donald has done his job. Donald has zero incentive to come in before August 8th. And if he did, he would be stupid. He shouldn't show up one day early with his current contract.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
So...you say that Donald is the hold up? Why aren't the Rams the hold up? So you're saying since Donald won't accept the Rams offer, it's all on him? This is easy...split the difference. As for the lowball offer...here you are...it's a lowball. Donald will get $23ish.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
if I were a player, I wouldn't be tweeting. So many people say stupid things on the spur of the moment. So he didn't tweet to Cooks or Gurley. How do you know he didn't call them directly? You don't. And by all accounts, factual accounts, Donald is a great team mate.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Cut a few tree limbs, get a clear view and there you go! Sunday ticket is the first year and then $293.94 a year after.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
See PM.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I think he gets signed... 5 years $120 million $90 million guaranteed or 4 years $96 million $80 million guaranteedby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
advice to those concerned... Quit looking at these things in a vacuum. It'a puzzle and timing is HUGE!by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
about his paycheck if 3-4 years! lolby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
and there are so few threads pre camp! I am so thrilled we locked up Gurley!by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
My point...an inside/outside RB with receiving skills was bound to start getting some of that "receiver" money. This deal has me stoked! Bucky Brooks@BuckyBrooks Hmmm.. I’ve tried to tell some folks that the “hybrids” will change the RB market.. $15M per makes sense for a RB1/WR2.. Maybe @LeVeonBell wasn’t so crazy The 230+ RB with elite running skills and pass catching abilityby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
But...who knows. It may be now that Donald simply wants to hold out as long as he can since he doesn't need to be here until August 8th. I think we can trust Donald will be ready no matter what. And, now that Rams management has shown they are serious about getting this team signed and keeping it together, I'm feeling bullish on a Donald signing. It's amazing how a new stadium needing tby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
and like I said, if he has a good year, then do it. That said, if a good year, I could see three more years from Saffold. That should do it!by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I'll share via PM is anyone is interested.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
the extension vs. new contract keeps the door open for Donald. The effect on the cap is much less than a new deal. However, it does give the Rams protection and more flexibility with the franchise tag.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
it does make it a sounder move. And not to jump on the Aaron Donald discussion but many think the hold up is the Rams or more likely the hold up is Donald. This move shows all of us, we don't know what the he$$ is going on behind closed doors.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
he is going to have to be a difference maker in the 4th quarter. So far, he really hasn't been. At this point, Goff doesn't make you shake in your boots when the last drive of the game is the "money" drive. Wentz has shown that ability which is why most pundits put him well ahead of Goff. Goff came out of a spread. So, most (we) expected a bigger learning curve. Thby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
He would be my guy to sign of the three. Ever since he fixed that shoulder, he's been steady.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
an extention vs. new contract. The Gurley situation makes we wonder. I'm not certain if it makes a difference..I still think it comes down to guaranteed money and possibly length of contract.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think the Rams and Donald are looking at this as an adversarial negotiation. "Shots fired" says the Rams are "warning" Donald. I don't believe that for a minute.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Where does one take that post coming out of left field?by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
and up until the Cooks signing that was a true statement. Was it not? Hmmmm? And, once the Rams got the deals done, I congratulated them and felt very relieved. The St. Louis Post board used to be the board of flaming and blind rah rah. This board has been a board of discussing issues, evaluating facts and stating opinion...whether is was positive, neutral or negative on the Rams. Tby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
it's a four year extension so the easy math is $15 million a year. There will be 3 cap increases before Gurley's contract really kicks into place. Once again, I'm not sure what he got at signing which may affect the next couple years. But...is $15 million for a marquee player who would be 26 years old playing in his next deal high, considering you have a cap increase in 2019, 2020 and 202by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Not sure why you think what you say is funny. Almost every post on the subject was correct when posted. The Rams showed inability to sign their big players. Now, finally, they are getting things done and people are recognizing it. They finally get things done and...what...you're thinking you have I told you so? Haha...funny. Funny as a box of rocks.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I can see his thought process.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
he has a young one...keeping him happy... I don't think we will see her as Mrs. McVay...the coach should keep the door open for about 8 years!by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
One of my sleeper teams...a team that no one expects. They are reloaded on offense.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
This contract hits in Goff's final year of his contract. If Peters is as good as advertised, they will now likely have the the franchise tag available for him. This helps keep the core of this team together. Remember, there will be more cap increases. I'm thinking this Gurley contract looks like a stellar deal in two years.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I would think that only upfront money would effect cap. The bulk of the contract won't hit for another two years. This was a brilliant move and I give the Rams management kudos.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams understand his value and he got Bell money. There is a new baseline for RBs thanks to Todd Gurley.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
