I mean, this is almost too difficult to even type the words.
But, what if Snead/McVay are so confident in their CB corps that they are actually considering allowing Ramsey to play out his contract this year in a kinda ‘prove it’ move?
Bear with me for just a moment here. In this scenario, if Ramsey really blows it up (AD like, I mean), then they could extend him at market price at that time.
But if Ramsey has just a ‘very good’ kinda year? Well, maybe the Rams would prefer to take their chances with their current other CB’s?
Hill
Long
Williams
Burgess (slot)
There are other promising kids, too. Plus Snead has a good track record bringing in secondary players so maybe he brings in another CB via draft?
This could potentially save $18-20M in cap savings annually if Ramsey doesn’t have a dominating, truly no kidding All Pro season.
I could understand this strategic thinking, tbh. Ramsey has a great reputation, but have we seen Top 2-3 CB play from him as a Ram? Not really, at least not yet if we’re being honest. And we DO have a ton of quality CB’s just waiting for an opportunity to showcase their skills.
Is this heresy? I know that I’m in the minority with this outside-the-box suggestion, but I could see this possibly playing out with Ramsey having to prove he’s worth that humongous ‘21 salary as opposed to quality CB alternatives already on the roster.
What say you?
