In that scenario I'm on board ... except for one thing.
It does seem to fit the Rams' recent strategy of letting some stars go and taking the comp pick when they think they have a replacement groomed in house. The Rams find themselves with too many stars to sign (like most good teams) so considering who is the next man up is part of the discussion on who to keep and who to let go. So yeah, if the Rams think there's not much of a drop off and end up getting a 3rd round comp pick plus $72M over the next 4 years to use elsewhere, that's at least a reasonable path to take in my book.
The 'one thing': the Rams might have made a verbal commitment to Ramsey that they would sign him long term when they traded for him. Ramsey held up his end of the bargain by not holding out. If the Rams made that commitment I would like the Rams to keep their word.
