QuoteAlbaNY_Ram All from overthercap.com The Rams have almost $100M in cap space in 2020, 15th highest in the league - pretty much middle of the pack. They have 26 players under contract. 10 teams have more than 26 guys signed: they all have less cap space than the Rams. 16 teams have fewer than 26 guys signed: 5 of them have less cap space than the Rams. And 5 other teams also have 26 gby zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRams43 McVay, a TE guru, saw potential in Hemingway and said so publicly. For whatever reason(s), it didn’t work out. Hemingway got his snaps, so no one can fault McVay for that. Hemingway didn’t deserve a roster spot, so he got cut by McVay. Don’t see where anybody’s to blame here. The End And it was a mistake. He was wrong.

Quotejemach I'm guessing we're hitting $40 million for elite QBs. I'll make a 2 years in advance statement...Goff gets paid below Rodgers current money when he extends. In fact, I would think the franchise tag average value would be about right. It will be interesting to see how much Goff gets credit, vs. McVay, vs. Gurley vs. the defense. I don't think he gets tip-top money. Honestlyby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

Quotemoklerman I was going to suggest a guy like Ferguson as a solid but not spectacular QB who the Rams would have won more with during the '70's, not knowing that he was actually available for them to draft.

Quotedzrams If Goff is signing a 2nd contract for only 26M then that means he hasn't developed into an elite QB. If he's elite and assuming he's signing 2 years from now, he should be well above $30M. I agree with your general point but I am just more picky about the term "elite." If he were getting 26 M in 2020/2021, that's Tannenhill and Bortles territory. Paid less but you'll lby zn - RamsFootballFans.com

QuoteLouis Riddick@LRiddickESPN No logical reason for #raiders to make this “football” move. No salary cap reason either. This has to be a cash issue.

Some speculations. I don't think anyone guessed all of this--22.5 M annual avg. 6 years, high 80s guaranteed, huge bonus. And I mean no one, not on any board or in the media. Quite a few guessed the between 22 and 23 annual avg. but the rest was not guessable. Part of what makes this deal unique is the combination of bonus money and guaranteed money. And that would be because of Kroenke.by zn - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteAlbaNY_Ram One thing is certain: if McVay thinks he needs a better backup QB then Snead will get him one. (So if the Rams don't replace Mannion I am 100% certain that McVay wants him.

QuoteWhat if when it comes time to sign other guys (Peters for instance) the Rams are so cap constrained that they can't? It won't come to that. The math is in the Rams favor.
