This constant criticism of TA is not warranted.
He does what is asked of him (so far as we know) and does it well.

Yes, he did (this year) have a problem fielding punts; but that was new. That it has occurred shortly after his wrist surgery is not a coincidence.

If TA was $2m a year instead of $12 mil his name wouldn't be dragged through the muck.

The Rams offered him a huge contract under that personnel wunderkind Fisher (same guy who gave an already under contract Foles a big expensive new contract before he ever played a game for the Rams), and it has not worked out.

Who knows where this goes. It sure seems like TA is always going to have a limited role under McVay. I argued against the position that McVay seems to be progressively removing TA from the offense, but now it sure seems so.

I don't know that the Rams are willing to take a big cap hit ($5 mil) in order to save $3 mil next year. Spend $8 mil and have Tavon; spend $5 mil and do NOT have Tavon. But if there is just no place in McVay's offense for him anymore, then it'll happen.

Guess we'll have to wait and see.

  The ONLY problem with TA is the money he's being paid.
