Sort of puts into perspective the Rams approach. The Cardinals went out and signed one of the biggest named defensive stars in getting JJ Watt. In retrospect, his injury history proved to be a bigger risk than expected.
The Rams seem like they acquire guys in season after they see how they're performing and holding up. Then make a choice about whether to re-sign them.
High priced, risky FA's vs. productive veterans with contract issues coming up with teams willing to take draft capitol. Seems like it's working for the Rams.
