"But their decision to decline Nickell Robey-Coleman’s option and allow him to hit free agency was certainly unexpected." NRC got a 1 year, $1.35M deal from the Eagles. The Rams would have had to pay him $4.5M if they picked up the option year on his contract. Personally, I would not expect the Rams to pay three times what a player is worth, especially with the stable of DBs the Rams already had on the roster to replace him.
I really like NRC and he was an asset while he was with the team, but no - letting him go was not unexpected.
