““What’s important right now is to continue to make sure we try to find a way to get Aaron in the fold, but also preserve – because that’s what we need,” Demoff continued. “We’re gonna have Marcus Peters on a contract expiring. You have Jared [Goff] coming up. You know, next year we’re going to have four picks in the top 100. You want to make sure that what we’re building is not just short-term. It’s sustainable. There’s a balance there.”Clearly, Demoff is thinking in terms of keeping core players together on future Ram rosters. Just as clearly, he recognizes that this will be a challenge as more and more extensions come up.
We can talk about it being okay to devote 60% of our cap to just 6-8 players ‘til the cows come home. That’s what message boards are for. But Demoff operates in the real world and his professional reputation is on the line, so if he thinks overpaying AD is a serious problem, who am I to disagree?
Team before any one player. I support Demoff on this AD negotiation position.
