I just think the Rams are gonna play it that way....rightly or wrongly.
AD will be what, 28-29yrs old by then?? We could still get a 1st rounder + for him then. imo
Again, he's the best DT I've seen in my lifetime - not doubting that for me - I just think the Rams brass will control him thru 5th yr option
and a Tag or even two...then, deal him to the highest bidder.
Do you realize for them to do that would mean they would essentially be negotiating in bad faith now.
I don't believe for a second that they would do that.
I doubt it even ends up at what you describe through force of circumstances, unintentionally.
It certainly wouldn't be their PLAN right now, this year, to do that That would mean they were setting him up to play for them with lowball money and by treating him like cattle. Do you really believe the Rams are capable of that? I don't.
The only reason I can think of that you would advocate treating a player THAT badly is because for some reason, maybe you think the Rams can't handle the future cap situation if they do sign him.
Well it's simple math, and, they can handle it.
