So, this has had me thinking for awhile now..... and after posting this I'll eat crow as a new deal with Williams will instantly be announce by the Rams!! However, I'm wondering if the Snead stories of hoping to get a new deal done with Kyren are slight smoke screens. I like Kyren, bar a few untimely fumbles, he brings a top level RB to the Rams backfield................... as long as your prepared to forgo long explosive runs. Is he a back I'd like to have on the Rams, sure. Do I think McVay loves having him as the pulse of the RB room, definitely. So I also think McVay wants a more explosive option, definitely yes from what's been said since the end of the season. But, also on the eve of an absolutely fantastic draft for RB's, would it make sense to stall a new deal for Kyren until after the draft. For me, absolutely, this would make sense. What if the Rams are able to add for a lower round pick one of the more interesting RB's, either a more physical runner and or an explosive type. Would the pause button be pushed for this season on a new deal or at least of a lower value maybe?https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163205#msg-1163205Mon, 08 Jun 2026 19:43:38 -0400 Phorum 5.2.18 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163351#msg-1163351 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163351#msg-1163351 Speed_Kills RamsFootballFans.comTue, 15 Apr 2025 12:00:58 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163293#msg-1163293 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163293#msg-1163293
The Rams drafted Corum while they still had other backs in addition to Williams and Williams had shown well as a rookie.

What I think the Rams will NOT do is let Williams' agent highjack them The RAms would like to get a fair deal done pre-draft; Rosenhaus will try unreasonably to leverage that higher berfore the draft RB chips have fallen; Snead will not let that happen. FAir deal now, or fair deal later. Ball is in Rosenhaus' court; Snead will be perfectly content to let him stew in his own juices.]]> mtramfan RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 20:46:36 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163292#msg-1163292 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163292#msg-1163292
Teams know not to capitulate to Rosenhaus. Some teams, anyway. He'll opt for the contract that pays him the biggets percentage. Teams that cave, lose.]]> mtramfan RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 20:34:55 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163291#msg-1163291 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163291#msg-1163291
I do hope they can work out a deal, but it's good business to have contingencies.]]> AlbaNY_Ram RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 20:34:07 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163290#msg-1163290 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163290#msg-1163290
If I remember right and he is represented by Rosenhaus, the agent is the turd in the punchbowl.

Snead will engineer his public statements around Rosenhaus' obnoxious meddling with what could otherwise be an equitable and smooth negotiation, and will play the Rams cards very close to the vest.]]> mtramfan RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 20:28:32 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163289#msg-1163289 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163289#msg-1163289
If they have a bad feeling about the direction they can draft his replacement on April 24.

If they are making progress then maybe they simply draft a RB3 in the later rounds who can bring some much needed speed to the RB room.]]> AlbaNY_Ram RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 20:23:26 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163287#msg-1163287 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163287#msg-1163287
So yes, I think the purpose behind getting a deal done is finding out if we need to draft a running back.]]> kw13 RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 19:59:22 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163241#msg-1163241 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163241#msg-1163241
It's OK of course, but many times I think fans tend to over think actions or non actions into becoming some sort of under the table plan to disrupt other teams.....personally I think the guy deserves a reup...RAMS have been looking for a RB since Gurleys knee, and the guy has responded very well IMO.....He gets some unbelievable yards at times, and I really can't think of many times he's stacked behind the line....less then the fingers on 1 hand.....add to that his energy level is past crazy......]]> roman18 RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 15:24:06 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163239#msg-1163239 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163239#msg-1163239 OzRam RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 15:21:50 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163234#msg-1163234 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163234#msg-1163234
We gave woods a raise without needing to.

He deserves to be paid for previous performance and while he's not going to get 15 I don't see why can't get 11 without any issue.]]> alyoshamucci RamsFootballFans.comMon, 14 Apr 2025 14:56:34 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163205#msg-1163205 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1163205,1163205#msg-1163205
