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.
AD has to play this season to get his 4 accrued years to be eligible for free agency next year.
But if they franchised him multiple times after that and he decided to hold out how do you think the Rams would respond?
Going the franchise tagging route would likely save the Rams money but doing so would also alienate the player.
You also have to consider those consequences and AD holding out is part of that.
BTW, the CBA provides that they can actually tag him up to 3 seasons.
