I dunno. Seems like the Rams paid FA money (or more) to Cooks, Gurley, and Havenstein.
It's just misleading language and the writer is guessing.
Both Cooks and Hav got more or less exactly what guys at their position were getting for 2nd contracts in 2018. 16 and 8 M (for ROT).
Gurley we know, they started a new category.
My bet is no one in the AD negotiations used the term "free agent money." That's the writer just making things up. '
And besides the relevant contract for AD is not Suh, it's Von Miller. AD is not going to get paid as a DT, he's going to get paid as a "best defender." Why Von Miller over Suh? Because VM is more recent.
See we know more about this situation than the writer does.
