Ramkind
Is this just insurance knowing that OBJ (if he is signed by the Rams) won't be available until midway through the season and also insurance for Woods in case he doesn't come back fully healthy?
IMO, if it were merely OBJ/Wood-insurance, then the Rams would've tried to sign Robinson to a one-year deal (I believe that was what most other suitors were offering). But the Rams gave him a 3-year contract with a significant portion guaranteed. So, he's a significant part of McVay's offensive plan...for this season...and the next.
I was disappointed with Jefferson's play in the Super Bowl where he simply didn't win on many of the (what I considered to be) favorable match-ups that he had. Yet, he's still learning; is on a rookie contract; and, clearly stretches the field for the offense.
It's for these reasons that I suspect that OBJ won't be resigned (unless he takes what I suspect is a low offer from the Rams); or, Robert Woods gets traded (likely to the Lions) for a 3rd/4th pick.
I absolutely HATE that I just wrote that (and actually believe it).
