The Marcus Peters deal is chasing gambling losses...
|
|
Specifically with the handling of Trumaine Johnson, Janoris Jenkins and Rodney McCleod ALL young homegrown talent.
Heading into the off-season supposedly according to the Rams themselves, the mission was to retain their defensive backfield.
My assessment is that they failed on all fronts.
The Rams ended up losing McCleod for a mere pittance financially, low balling Janoris Jenkins and alienating him to the point of no return, and not being able to sign Trumaine long term essentially wasting over $33M.
McCleod played very well in Philly and is now a SB champion.
Janoris Jenkins got a reasonable contract for his talent and position and became an All-pro in NY.
Note: Deadpool Janoris has played very well in NY and this season there was team wide mutiny. Things were BAD in that organization.
Trumaine has pocketed over $33M from the Rams over the last two seasons and in return the Rams got 3 turnovers from him!!
Now their defensive backfield is in tatters.
That is a colossal failure in my book and part and parcel of why the Rams had to increase their wager.
The problem with that however is when chasing gambling losses, you tell yourself that you need to double down to recoup your losses.
That never works.
I recently said that the Rams are a smart organization now and I believe that wholeheartedly, but they are taking a huge risk chasing gambling losses.
Its not about being right its about getting it right and I give the Rams credit for that.
I hope that Marcus Peters pays off.
