much appreciated zn. logically and intuitively, this makes sense to me.
would you happen to have the same info on 2nd contracts for successful cb's (peters) and edge rushers (fowler)? just wondering what they'd cost to keep if they pan out during 2019.
at the current course and speed i can't see how goff does not get paid rack rate when it's time to re-up.
and i do not think that, in and of itself, is the kiss of death for the rams cap space. goff's performance during his rookie contract basically allowed the rams to invest in other positions. one of them being whitworth at lt. a luxury at the the qb position not many teams get to enjoy. the tables look like they will turn soon.
i think the biggest question mark the rams are facing on the cap space in the next 2 or 3 years is at left tackle. if none of the young, relatively cheap prospects in house don't prove to be a viable successor, finding an established talent in free agency will put a lot of stress on the cap space. the good news is they have multiple prospects on deck. they also have 1 more draft, including a 1st, 2nd and 3rd rounder, before whitworth is likely gone. even if whitworth stays it would put strain on the cap space.
edge rusher and cb are my next 2 concerns.
