I think these comments from Jourdan sum it up well; and despite the emotions involved, helps to explain the thinking behind the moves.
The savings from not retaining Miller, extending Stafford and creating more cap space in 2022, and the extra savings from trading Woods will fold into more moves beyond the acquisition of Robinson.
To me, this move signals even more of schematic shift in 2022. We saw pieces of this last season, including the movement away from sweeps and play-action passes and the increased usage of pure dropback concepts and empty sets.
Me: the league evolves. You can't run the same concepts and plays year after year because Defenses figure it out (look what the Bucs did to the Chiefs last year, and what the Pats did to the Rams in the previous Superbowl).
Clearly the Rams are going to change to something else, but I'm not good enough with the X's and O's to say what the change will look like. But Robinson is a very different kind of player than Woods and certainly runs different kinds of plays and routes.
