The Rams are a stars and scrubs team. It's not a very common approach to team building and it's NEVER been done to the extreme levels that the Rams are doing it.
All of their money is tied up to 4 players. That can work if they had, youmg, cheap talent to offset the cost. However, since the Rams have traded all of their first round picks to acquire the high dollar stars the Rams have had to let huge contributers go.
The Rams have subsequently had to abandon any idea of depth. We may like players like Henderson but this is the NFL. Every team has depth. Especially in a 17 game, Covid world. Heck, some of our starters are depth players elsewhere. To lose one of the few players that the Rams absolutely counted on to make an impact is a death blow.
Why a deathblow? Because it's never been overcome before. No stars and scrubs team has ever overcome a big loss. No team has ever built their team so extreme.
