The Rams need draft picks and can put off tagging AD for another season but if they plan on retaining Watkins, can they afford to extend AD as well?
AD has two more years under contract. They won't need the tag for him until 2019.
They've been talking extension with AD - some reports say they've been willing to make him the highest paid defense player in the league - while Tru is playing under the tag so clearly they can do both.
And why do they need draft picks now? They have all of their picks next year minus the 2nd round pick but have eliminated WR as a need provided they retain Watkins with an extension or a tag.
The Rams can play "tag" with Watkins and AD, but at some point, can they afford to sign both to long term deals?
Trading AD for players/picks while be has 2 years remaining is possible.
