Please, no more speculation that the Rams are cheap and/or can’t sign top players that they really want.
What the heck is so wrong with Rams making AD the highest paid D player in the history of the NFL?
AD loses net money in his pocket every year that he fails to sign an extension. A classic “cut off your nose to spite your face” strategy. This has been explained on this board at length.
As others have mentioned, even an All World DT can affect a game from a loss to a win just so much. IOW, he ain’t no QB, and will never be paid as one.
He will obviously play in ‘18, even without an extension. Each snap he needlessly risks a career threatening injury. Not smart.
I think his agent is giving him some terrible career advice.
He is now starting to lose the PR battle in these negotiations.
Enough is enough, AD! Get the respect and admiration that would come with being the highest paid defender in league history, the security of $70-80 million guaranteed, and the opportunity to play for amazing coaches and on a team that seems loaded for a long dynasty type run.
This is not that complicated and you shouldn’t overthink it.
Well said 43. I couldn't agree more. I am so tired of this BS about the Rams are low balling him and they cheap and the FO cannot sign big name players. IMO, AD and his agent are being greedy. It's simple as that. I really don't care how good he is, he still has to have a cap on what he is paid. He does NOT deserve to be paid like a QB. He is a DT. He is a great DT, I will give him that.
He doesn't even acknowledge the team or his team mates on his twitter. How about a simple "congrats" to Gurley and Cooks?? It's all about AD. Maybe he has been reading his own press clippings too much. Maybe we should trade his butt to Cleveland after this season and send his agent with him. Maybe the Browns would be willing to destroy their cap for this guy. IMO, he is losing respect by the day. He is NOT the BE ALL, END ALL. We can win without him if we have to. After all, what have we won with him?
#HelmetHornsMatter
“Well, the color is good, I like the metallic blue,” Youngblood recently said while laughing, via NFL Journal. “The horn is terrible. It looks like a ‘C.’ When I first saw it on the logo I honestly thought it was a Charger logo.
“Now when I see it on the helmet, it just isn’t a ram horn. There is no distinct curl like a mature ram horn. I don’t know how the Rams could get that wrong. That is your symbol and it has been for what? Seventy years or more? Longer than I have been alive? It’s just not us, it’s not the Rams.”---Mr. Ram Jack Youngblood
