Woods workload was diminished - yes, it was - because they signed OBJ. Doesn't mention that does he. They let Sony Michele just walk away. Yes, they didn't want to keep a back with bad knees who gutted out the season with us. They did get rid of Brandin Cooks quickly - but he's been with a lot of teams in a short amount of time - why did all those teams let him walk? Also, maybe the Rams didn't love that he dropped 2 touchdown passes in the superbowl. You can say one wasn't his fault but one certainly was.
We don't know what went on between these players and the team, but declaring that there's some kind of callous - throw great players away thing going on at rams park strains credibility.
Author also doesn't mention how some of the player moves are motivated...by the player! Wagner was a mutual decision. Robinson asked to be made available to be traded.
