It sure is different. Not many jobs out there that start out over a million dollars. In my work I am way more valuable then many who get paid much more than me. Why? They've been around forever. I will eventually get there but my desire to do a good job isn't thwarted by the inequity. It is what it is and I went in with my eyes wide open. I can always change jobs. AD knew exactly what he waby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
I found that intentional mentioning of how they have done a good job as coaches not just coaching him but also coaching Mannion interesting. Last year Goff was Mannion so it seems he is possibly comparing how he was treated vs how Mannion is. If this an accurate read it sounds like he is saying he did not get the same coaching or prep as Keenum did so he wasn't ready when the call came.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Haha Brockers knows this clown has way more time than he has. Dude ain't going to work so he must be real busy sitting out 😂😂😥by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess others were assuming beyond this board too 😂😂 glad to hear positives about our team thoughby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
My concern is if this works others will think they were suckers and will want to hold out next year. I don't want to see agent Todd get more business.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
yes true. I'm saying the players have a way to protect against the ability to be cut, guaranteed money. The owners need to get creative and come up with a protection for themselves. Of course you could say the hard cap is the protection. There will be a backlash if there is an elite class created as it will create a large wage gap. It'll become an NBA situation.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
The problem with that is teams can cut players under contract so you have to leave players an equal chance. What agents have done is elevate guaranteed money as a result to protect against cuts. What teams need to do is work in lock in clauses where holding out is really costly (just like cutting a player with a lot of guaranteed money leads to costly dead money) You'd have to have an automatiby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah I'm with you. Freeze out Todd. Focus on what we have. Build the TEAM and we not me culture. Then next year it's like getting a top FA injected into your defense. That could be a big boost when we are closer to be ready to make a run. I wish we'd pull any and all offers and implement all fines. What Donald doesn't get is that he wants to change the rookie wage scale but for every Donaby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
It was night, I was watching football in Miami. I'm now in New York and on my way to Zurich. Not sure why gotta judge, but I actually enjoy watching football and tracking NFL news in my free time. Glad you had a good day.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
yeah that was it. I got the list from another site, but then just went to the official Rams roster to compare notes.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Here is an updated list, the other one did not even have 53, but they still list Marquez so need to figure out who is missing QB (2) Jared Goff Sean Mannion RB (3) Malcolm Brown Justin Davis Todd Gurley WR (6) Tavon Austin Pharoh Cooper Cooper Kupp Josh Reynolds Sammy Watkins Robert Woods TE/FB (4) Derek Carrier Gerald Everett Tyler Higbee Johnny Mundt OL (8) Austinby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com

Hopefully it is not too much of a pendulum swing, but we used to seem to wait forever for players to develop or keep drafted players because the original decision and evaluation was trusted more than current reality. Watching GRob get shipped out, watching these cuts and even seeing draft picks cut and UDFAs kept makes me think there is a new reality on our team. No one gets a free pass, and nby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
I was hoping he would be a starter in a year or two, sad to see that project fail so quickly. With that said, I am happy to have a staff that moves on quickly. We were way too slow to cut GRob among others. Instead we threw a bunch of money at Tavon. Definitely seems like a new way to run things and I like it.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Well not too surprising but sad to see them goby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Other teams have long lists of cuts, we are holding our cards close I guess. Hoping that means trades.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
So maybe we are trying to use the back end of our DB depth and strength to make a trade after all. Mostly WR and DE cuts so far. Hopefully moves are in the works. I guess we will find out in about an hour.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Well to secure him with a 7th so that we can use our wire claim on another cut might have been the strategy. Not sure if he has less than 4 years of service though. I know he has been in the league 5 but out with injury makes me wonder if that lessens his "service" not sure how that works.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com

Sounds like a new product line at Trader Joe's. Trader Snead's Rams and @#$%&. His products would be loved by some who would rave about the quality and tell all their friends to buy and others would think it is the worst thing in the store and will boycott Trader Joe's until they remove all Trader Snead meats from the store.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Do you have any players in mind that might be getting cut from other teams? Could you see some bottom of the list trades this year? Say one of our WRs for a player that might get a lot of attention from another team that has depth at OL or DL for example?by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah I hope the lack of playing timing doesn't hurt our offensive timing. I would sure have liked to see Sammy and Goff develop a little more and Mannion is not a starter so thought it would be a good idea to let him play a little. The right side of the OL could use all the work it can get too. Oh well, I guess we will see. We aint the Patriots we need all the playing time we can get imo, I sureby headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
hey its a wishful thinking hard stance move, I do not expect them to do it, but how much would you love it if his next hold out client gets jacked. I am guessing he is getting a rep among team offices as someone who is a pain to deal with, this will or should eventually come back to bite him.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
Man if we are playing him to showcase for a trade that was a total fail. If we were playing him to make sure our two QBs stay healthy that was a win. But overall this guy is horrible, I would rather have Keenum back then him.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
They just called false start on us and the camera shot over to the sideline where I expected to see Fisher. Maybe it was the auto response from the penalty hahahaby headslapper - Game Time Forum
This guy is setting a bad precedent with all his players. I would be OK with us being the team that put an end to it. I would go to AD and say we will make you the highest paid DT on one condition, change agents. However with your current agent we will pay you your current contract only.by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
I keep hearing about the offer on the table but I have never actually seen that reported anywhere and have never heard what the numbers were. Is this documented somewhere or was it a twitter report that I missed?by headslapper - RamsFootballFans.com
