In my opinion, Jordan Rodrigue is more clued-in to the Rams' Strategy than anyone else out there.
She posted the following comments shortly after the Gilmore-signing came-out:
Couple things on Gilmore from Rams’ perspective -
Yes, they were interested and had dialogue w him through offseason. My sense was there wasn’t going to be a lot of $ offered there
and it would be stunning if they signed anybody else pre-draft as it is, bc of comp pick formula.
This doesn’t rule out their exploration of/interest in others! All written about here this week! And, I still think they’re looking at what’s possible/will explore what’s possible w open timeline at pass rusher.
After the expected Donald and Kupp extensions, the Rams could have significant cap space for 2022.
I don't know that there will be many big-ticket free agents available but there may be trade options.
And the Rams like to make trades.
