But that is the thing. His 2018 contract is not guaranteed. So the Rams have the leverage to tell him they will pay him $XM or they are releasing him. Maybe he wants to take that bet and believes he could get a better deal somewhere else. Maybe he would want to stay in LA at a lower number and in exchange for 2019 free agency. But either way if I am the Rams I am not keeping him at $12.3M or anywhere close to it. And especially not when you have young, ascending players at OLB waiting in the wings.
