Dozens of women have come forward alleging they were assaulted or co-erced. This is about holding people accountable for their actions, not some 'cancel culture' term thrown around.

Like, um...sexual assault stuff? You assume he'll be cleared and then be an advocate for that 'stuff'. I just don't understand the train of thought. He may yet be cleared of any and all charges, though it's not likely. And how many years will he be out of the league while it's all sorted out? It's not 1985 anymore - this is not going to be swept under the rug by the commish.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Sign him before his legal issues are settled? And pay him with what - IOU's and notes of encouragement? 'We sure hope you're not suspended' That train left the station a long time ago. Time to move on.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
2 million is way to much for his production. They could go internal for a cheaper replacement. It's not like there will be a talent drop off. Or use that 2 million to sign a veteran June 1 cap casualty LB. His career just hasn't worked out. The Ravens had no problem moving on from him and it's not like the guy is 22 and just breaking into the league. He's 25 now. If he hasn't gotten itby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I don't think it should be mandatory for citizens. My larger point is about a player doing something to help...or harm...his team. There are a host of supplements you can buy legally or illegally - it's up to you if you want to take them, but when your job and your team depends on being tested for banned substances - a player has to put the team first and have control over what they put inby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
In nations like Israel with a high rate of vaccination - there are a tiny number of breakthrough cases. We have data sets from millions of people worldwide and it all points to the same conclusion - vaccination makes catching covid extremely unlikely and being sickened or hospitalized from it even rarer. What we do know is what happens to people who are sickened by covid - it's not just a lunby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
However, an anecdote doesn't change the data - extremely rare for someone who is fully vaccinated - meaning 2 weeks + past the second shot, or J& J single shot. And nowhere in the story is it mentioned that he was fully vaccinated, so you'd think his agent would call that out.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
This is about elite athletes who get paid to keep themselves in peak physical shape. Getting a vaccine should be part of the deal - same as proper nutrition, off-season training and staying away from banned supplements.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
At Green Bay November 28th. Could be fine...or rain... or snow and freezing. Baltimore in January could be rainy and cold or fine. Either way - it's good for us. No December / January trips to play in New York, or Cleveland, or Pittsburgh, etc.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Clubs aren't going to tolerate this as we get closer to the season. Whole position groups shut out. Remember the nightmare Bronco situation. Will players who opt out of vaccination get game checks if they miss games due to a positive test? Already the NHL has loosened in person protocols for teams with at least 85 % vaccination (or maybe higher) for teams and staffs. NFL may adopt thisby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Mark this as totally preventable. The guy sat out 2020 because of covid and now, when he could have been vaccinated, he gets it? Lucky for him he's a first round pick, what about a guy who's a late rounder or UDFA. Good way to set yourself back. The agents for these guys should have a nurse on hand to personally vaccinate all their clients. I just can't understand this. You have oby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
To 'mentor' them. In what, exactly? How to fail at the NFL and MLB? You think most of these guys know who Tebow is or care? The only guy older than his mid 30's that players want to play with is named Tom Brady. And let's say he takes a roster spot of someone with more skill and upside just to sell tickets - that'll really bring a locker room together. Give a slot to the coaches pet.

The guy hasn't played football in, what, 6 or 7 years? And how many years did he compete at TE in the NFL? That's right - zero. It does a disservice to actual, freakishly talented TE's in the NFL to think that because he's in awesome shape (like the big hurt with Nugenix?) and ran over people in college more than a decade ago he can just come in and make magic. This is a Kahn (Khan?) ploy toby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Kerrigan would be a good add - is he a FA? Also Wright would be an upgrade over what we have at ILB which, right now, is just hopes and dreams. The KC center is intriguing, but why did the Chiefs, who are in the SB window prefer to sign Blythe instead of him? What am I missing?by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
I like to watch football. Winning football. Everything else that goes on in the building is not important to me. After a decade of losing I just want to enjoy the game again, and I have. I was angry the way Warner was treated, and before that Dickerson. Georgia was really a poison in the league. But there are other owners now who are nearly as bad (Texans, anyone?) Over the years I'veby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
Unless they've got one more shot at a ring and that's important to them. Other than that they go with who pays them the most. And why wouldn't they - often they have only a few years to make as much money as possible. So the issue of us not getting free agents is not relevant. Contract size, guaranteed money - that's what motivates.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

You say they have few good options in 2022 for a LT - is that the word from inside Rams headquarters? Sounds more like your opinion. I trust the Rams to sort this out properly, whether its the dreaded 'push salary down the road route' that will surely, in your opinion doom them. Again, when we have no LT in 2022 and have 5 wins - let me know and I'll start getting worried.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com

You haven't convinced anyone that subtracting future cap space on a team built to win now is an issue. I don't think it is, or has to be. You assume it's an insurmountable issue.by promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
'They can't keep doing this' - really? why not? The cap will rise in future years - and it could be a lot thanks to the new, huge broadcast / streaming deal and stadiums reopening. Also, who knows what players will be kept and at what price. Let me know when their pushing out of salaries comes back to burn them and cost them a chance at a championship - and I'll pay attention.

Drafting a Tackle or Center gives you the chance to find players who 'could' start, or who 'might' be counted on in 2 years. But there are no guarantees. Many of those guys may wind up as reserves or cut, some will start. Some might even be good. The Rams, like every front office has a plan - short term, and long term goals they strive for.

They traded for him and then he retired. If he was still able to play at a high level wouldn't they have put him on the field after the IR was over or the next season. this is one of the sad parts of the game for the veteran players and hard for a lot of them to deal with. Same thing with Clay Matthew, I noticed he got no other offers after the Rams. These guys were both done, as was Weby promomasterj - RamsFootballFans.com
