Not often that we can observe these guys unfiltered when the real bullets are flying. What a treat. As an aside, it’s clear that Rams had 2 players that they REALLY wanted when they picked. One is Bruss and the other is Williams. Not that they’re not very happy with all their other picks, mind you, but those 2 seemed to leave Rams war room positively giddy. Don’t be surprised if the Rams scby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotestlramz Quotemerlin It's only a matter of time. He's probably dedicated to finishing out at least another season, maybe two, with Stafford playing like he has. But at some point the crazy money and the allure of being around the game while still having family time is going to win out. Agree wholeheartedly. Its a ticking timebomb. Money is too good and the hours, in comparison to theby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteNewMexicoRam Even that is slim. A few of these guys could make the practice squad but the Rams have too much depth for any of the UDFA's to make the team.

LA Rams have some tall targets for Matthew Stafford this year by Bret Stuter The LA Rams loaded up small but speedy and swift receivers for the 2021 NFL season. The Rams signed free agent veteran wide receiver DeSean Jackson, who stands 5-foot-10 but runs a blazing 4.35-second 40-yard dash. The team drafted rookie wide receiver Tutu Atwell, who stands 5-foot-9 but runs an even faster 4by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yes, that is always a possibility, Dynasty. But I am comforted by 3 things. 1. Rams remain the most perfect matchup for OBJ in the entire league. The player and the team are perfect for each other. No other team can quite match that. 2. OBJ won’t be able to play until November. This will suppress the normal frenzied market for his services that might otherwise be occurring now. This is nby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams have a very short list of ‘needs’, but I do think that a solid vet at edge should be on that list. So, what is the holdup on restructuring AD and Kupp to create funds? And then getting that vet while the getting is good? I sound like a 6 year old waiting for Christmas Day, don’t I? Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Los Angeles Rams I could feasibly see the Rams add undrafted free agents at positions such as inside linebacker and tight end, but I think they’ll be most aggressive in exploring their options is at edge rusher.

QuoteThe Professor The player is protected by a contract without incentives. If the player is on the team for week 1 then they are guaranteed their salary for the year. An incentive based contract means they only get the money if they meet the incentives. This protects the team (don't have to pay if they do not do so), but it puts the player's money at risk. Could easily be an 8 game base contrby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Quotejoram and subsequently? Based on his last contract, his age, and his knee I think 8mil a year and/or some incentives would be more than fair. Why not just make ‘22 heavily incentive laden? Protects both the player and the team. Then they can offer a multi-year contract for ‘23 and beyond based upon how well he healed and played in the 2nd half of the ‘22 season.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

With the FO, the coaches, and the fans. I mean, who didn’t he piss off? Good riddance. Besides, OBJ is a much better and much younger weapon for Stafford and Stafford quickly bonded with OBJ and is encouraging OBJ to extend with Rams. This is a no brainer.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
