First, let me say that I love having AD as a Ram. Just love it.

Nothing like having an elite player on the field, is there? One that the opponent just can't stop despite special gameplanning?

However...

I hope that he's gonna be reasonable about his contract demands. No doubt he deserves to be paid as the best DT in the game.

But, how high is "up"? I mean, there is some point in the salary stratosphere beyond which the Rams should not go. Because it would result in a net loss for the team.

You know, the "we, not me" thing?

I don't know where that point is, but Demoff better know it and better not cross it. So, laram has a point. There are ways and means of keeping AD as a Ram through '20 without an unaffordable extension, if absolutely necessary.

I hope for a win-win contract extension solution, of course. But let's don't lose sight of the fact that the overall team comes first.
