As I said, Geller isn’t focused on trade concepts. Truthfully, neither am I. Just because Geller ignored trade concepts doesn’t discredit his sources. This isn’t a test. It’s absurd to say since you didn’t consider everything we discussed on this board that means your sources are no good.by max - RamsFootballFans.com

As I said believe what you want. Technically the Rams have the legal right to tag him for 3 years, so that’s not a false statement. When you get into trade scenarios it gets more complicated. I took from him that since he believes they get this thing done soon, he’s not interested in forced trade discussions.

Here's the guy who broke the news on the 21M, north of 25M stuff. Believe what you want. He thinks a deal will be done within a month. He said Donald wants to be a LA Rams for life. other stuff, worth a listen.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Take it up with Allbright. I’m just the messenger. He has connections in Denver and knows the Kroenkes. That’s all I know for sure. He will be on tomorrow night on Facebook. Go ask him.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, Rams will have to pay Mack more than they are offering Donald. And it will either kill their CAP or the CAP argument was BS.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
What are Rams thinking? What influence does Wade have and what does HE think? Big takeaway is that Allbright implies Donald will get more from another team. And he’s not playing until he gets his price point. I got the impression that Kroenke will have to direct them to pay Donald otherwise Donald is gone.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Just heard Allbright say a few things. Kroenke is involved in Donald contract. Big issue is Donald is not a best fit for what Wade does. He’d rather have Mack, but the Rams will never say that publicly. Donald has a price point and won’t play until he gets it. Rams have one too based in part on how they value the position. Wade values the edge rusher more than 5 tech. Donald isby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotedzrams Well, that would be mutual cave. That's a fair possibility in all negotiations. The part that I'm really interested in of what you said is the bit that historically teams don't cave as much as players do. I've wanted to do research on this but haven't had the time.

Quotezn Quotemax We have no idea what the conversations are between the 2 sides. It could very well be the Rams saying lets sit down and maybe we can meet around 23M and France saying, no way, we want over 27M. Agreed, we have no idea.

Quotezn Quotemax I get that he could force a trade (next year at the earliest). But it seems weird that someone else would pay him significantly more than the Rams plus give the Rams compensation.

QuoteznSomewhere down the line he can demand a trade. Franchise tags count against the cap. (I have technical details on that if you want).

That's the real argument here. I don't see Donald with enough leverage to reset the market on non-QBs when he is still under contract and can get tag for years to come. He can only hurt the Rams by hurting himself just a badly, probably worse. Teams go on without great players all the time. The Eagles lost their MVP candidate QB and still won the SB. Donald can sit home for the next 3 yeby max - RamsFootballFans.com
There’s a new deal on the table. He doesn’t want it. He’d rather sit home, while his teammates play, and miss his $430k/week game checks. He can’t workout for 24 hours straight, he’s got to sit down on his couch eventually and watch others play. I wouldn’t want to be around him.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteznSo yes with Cooks it's a 2nd contract, not a re-write of the first. The first expires after this year and to balance not erasing the first, they put huge pay-outs in place for 2019 and 2020, with again a lot of that guaranteed. ... Thats what I am saying. Do you think Donald will agree to stay on his $6.89M this year and take $24M for the next 4? I don't. But thats an accurateby max - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteAll the talk about Donald sitting out until he gets a new deal sounds like hot air from his agents. He would miss out on $431,125 per game. That won't happen, no matter what the rhetoric is now. I would expect his agents to wise up and take a deal that would make him the highest-paid defensive player in the league.
