#Rams deserve major props. Donald, Gurley and Cooks were core pieces they wanted to lock in long-term – along with Goff and Peters = and they did that. There is room to now take care of Peters and Goff eventually. Plus Havenstein is locked in. Rams as set as anyone moving forward
They’ve planned and executed their salary cap to accomodate a talented, young, locked-in foundation for the forseeable future. People sometimes can’t see the forrest for the trees. But in Rams case, the space and flexibility was also there for all this.

And OBJ became highest-paid WR in NFL history

With Aaron Donald signed, and IF Dominique Easley starts at OLB, 7 of the @RamsNFL 11 defensive starters Week 1 will be former @NFL 1st-round picks.

If anyone deserves it, it’s AD!! Generational player. One of the hardest working guys I’ve played with.

People play fast & loose with “generational”…but Chris Long has is right: Donald is the best defensive player of the era.

I’ve said it before: This dude is one of the 4-5 non-qbs in the league that completely changes the whole game plan the Monday before the actual game. Earned it.
