I'll be shocked if Donald sits out for more than a game or two. I don't think he will sit out at all. The only question is whether he will play on the tag or sign an extension. Mychal Thompson was talking on ESPNLA and kept saying Donald was asking for 27M as if he knew something. Who knows? But if that is indeed Donald's number then I don't blame Demoff for saying we have a difference in valuby max - RamsFootballFans.com

Nice podcast. Dan Hanzus, Gregg Rosenthal, Marc Sessler & Chris Wesseling – travel down to Rams camp for the day and get you up to speed with the latest news around the NFL including the Patriots signing Eric Decker (5:30), the Bengals releasing Brandon LaFell (9:25), and Earl Thomas’ status with the Seahawks. (11:30). The heroes sat down to chat with Rams Head Coach Sean McVay (22:22)by max - RamsFootballFans.com
there are still many in the media who are skeptical about Goff being any good. VinnyB called them stupid.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay says that over and over. Goff has the ability to excel in all three.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSpeed_Kills that close to the endzone... they will try and rough him up but that was a nice looking play I was looking at the play from the perspective of the timing between Goff and Cooks so early. that play will work well between the 20's.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 Quotemax Brockers said yesterday that the guy who pushes him the most is Samson. He was raving about him as a leader too. Maybe Samson becomes a leader of the D, maybe not. but I feel strongly about one thing. Donald isn't the leader Breer was touting him to be. I missed that Brockers quote, max. Thanks for sharing. Agree that AD is not a great leader, other than by example.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
According to Breer, that is. LOLby max - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteRampage2K- QuoteSunTzu_vs_Camus a 3 yr deal with 60m guaranteed. This would let AD hit FA again at age 30...and able to negotiate a new deal with the Rams or someone else. it avgs 20m/yr...but guarantees 60m and that AD will get a 3rd contract. ...is it reasonable? justa thot Rams already have him locked up for the next three years at less then $40M with no guaranteed money using tagsby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotezn Quotemax KD said they want to be able to keep the young guys together. He specifically said, Goff, the OL, and the DBs.

I think it’s quite possible that Donald signs for 22M. Wouldn’t surprise me in the least. I take it that you don’t believe that’s possible. Not me.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
And the CAP is a mechanism created by the owners. Take away the CAP. Make it like baseball. And then no one would care if Donald got 50M, if they could keep all their other players.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
That’s is one insightful post. Big thx. VinnyB told me yesterday that the elite abilities were on display last year in TC. He saw them. He said he got into disagreements last year with other LA reporters (didn’t mention names). When I said there are still reporters out there now who doubt Goff. Vinny replied they’re stupid. Made me laugh.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I’ve been saying 22-23M That’s where I think it ends up, assuming Donald signs with Rams. I don’t see Rams going to 24M. That’s my bet.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
Watching Goff on TV is nice, but You need to see him in person, on the field. It provides another valuable perspective. That’s true of most anything.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSaguaro There was a camp report about Goff being first guy out on the field. Word is he's hitting tight windows. Underneath the almost goofy, puppy dog exterior is a serious competitor and a leader. Not too many guys are wired that way. What I don't see is a big ego. Or it's hidden. Here's the key. He wants to learn. He wants to get better. He truly doesn't think he's doneby max - RamsFootballFans.com

Donald isn’t getting 25M, from anybody this year. If that is what France is insisting on, then Donald won’t be on the field anywhere. Other teams aren’t going to give up multiple first round picks and take a 25M cap hit. And the Rams have made it clear they’re not doing it. Ain’t happening.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
You are putting up a click bait header on a Rams board that talks injury. Don’t be that way.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
There shouldn’t be a train wreak over the difference between 22M and 23M. That looks like the sweet spot to me.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
I think 21M is on the low side, but not insultingly low. It’s at least in the range. I do think anything over 24M is not a good deal for the Rams. If Donald refuses to sign for anything under 24M, then he’s not being reasonable.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
In 2015, Suh got a then monster contract as a FA that put him #11 in average salary behind 10 QBs In 2016, Miller got an extension that put him #16 in average salary, behind Suh and 14 QBs. In 2018, the 10th highest average salary is $22M, all QBs in the top 10. If Donald got $23M that would put him 9th overall. That sounds like a very fair deal.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
That’s exactly what I said weeks ago. He’s not getting $25M. He can ask for whatever he wants, I get that, but he ain’t getting that if he’s not a FA. The Rams will eventually give him a bit more than their current offer and he’ll be back. He’s on a team that has a good chance at a ring. I think he’s too much of a competitor to sit at home and watch his teammates compete for a ring this yby max - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, 23M is probably the magic number.by max - RamsFootballFans.com
