Yup. Jefferson's rookie deal is thru 2023. If the Rams extend Woods 2 years his contract will also run thru 2023. I can see the Rams extending Jefferson at that point and letting Woods walk. (Woods will be 32 in 2024, Jefferson will be 28. Changing of the guard ...)by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

From a Sept 2 article: There was some concern that COVID-19 safety regulations may keep the club from getting to stay on the East Coast between their bouts with the two New York teams. Head coach Kyle Shanahan on Wednesday said the plan is still to hunker down out East. “For me, I haven’t thought about it much, but I’m expecting that we can go there and stay there and I think we’re goingby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
The NFL discourages the practice but it doesn't look like they banned it. From this article: The NFL, under the theory that teams are more equipped to prevent a COVID-19 outbreak in their home facilities than on the road, is strongly urging teams not to stay on the road between two games, and not to arrive two days before road games, according to Peter King in this week’s Football Morningby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Littleton played 94% of the snaps last year, top number on defense, and he's gone. (Weddle: 93% & AD: 84% were second and third). I think the Rams would have loved to extend him, but economics prevented them from doing so. Rams may have the same problem with JJ. Tons of 'want to', but not enough cap space.

This is McVay from the presser Shaky posted: (On preparing for back-to-back road games on the east coast) "We'll just travel the day before and really what we've learned – especially with some of the parameters, like if you were to stay in Philly and practice for the week, with guys having to stay in their hotel rooms, you'd almost say, ‘Alright, I would rather substitute that, being abby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
(On any effects of not having a preseason) “I think the big difference that I would say is for our defense. ..." IIRC the Rams starters didn't play in either of the last 2 preseasons. Is he saying that would have changed this year? I guess it's possible, considering the Rams have a new DC and only 4 returning starters from last year's week 1 defense (Brockers, Donald, Joseph-Day, &by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
In reality is he 'fair catcher' rather than punt returner?by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
All I have seen on Kupp is that he got a three year extension so he's signed thru 2023 - no indication that I've seen if it's a straight extension or if they absorbed the last year of his rookie deal. They might have scrapped the last year of his rookie deal (like they did with Ramsey), but if they did they replaced it with a 4 year deal. With Ramsey you can see the mechanics of that (scrappiby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Woods is already signed thru 2021 so a true extension wouldn't kick in until 2022. Woods will be 30 at the start of the 2022 season. How much do you pay a 30 year old WR who has played 9 years in the NFL? Would they give him 2 years, $32M? Seems like a lot now, but in 2022 & 2023 it might not seem so bad. And if they give him say a $10M signing bonus he gets that money immediately (whiby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

Goff was 20 for 31, 275 yards, 0 TD, 1 Int ... which is indeed 79.4. BUT, had that roughing call been called: 20 for 30, 275 yards, 0 TD, 0 Int ... which is 95.8. That one play cost Goff over 16 points in passer rating.by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
As things stand the Rams should have 6 picks in the 2021 draft: 2nd, two 3rds, 4th, 6th, & 7th.

I posted this a while ago but it fits in well with this convo. Looking back at the last 5 drafts gives me a great deal hope for the next 3. Since 2016 the Rams have had 24 picks in the first 5 rounds (including only 1 first-rounder) and 22 of them are still with the team. The two exceptions: Pharoh Cooper (4th round, 2016) and John Franklin-Meyers (4th round, 2018). And it's not like they werby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
This is how the post starts: "This is what I like about Snead. He drafts a year in advance for his needs." It goes on to say that the Saints could have drafted a RB, how foolish it was to draft a center in round one, how their failure to draft a RB allowed the Rams to draft Akers, how the Saints failure to draft a RB may have contributed them to overpaying Kamara. In short, the giby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
This from The Rams Wire: According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Rams are giving Woods a raise. They’re adding $1 million to his salary in 2019 and giving him a $2 million roster bonus for 2020, which is fully guaranteed.by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Ramsey's new deal reduced his 2020 cap hit. Overthecap currently shows the Rams at $6.3M under the cap. (That may change again when the details of Kupp's new deal is factored in ...)by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
At this point I doubt the Rams would sign JJ to an extension no matter how much cap room they have. With Rapp, Burgess, and Fuller already on the roster the Rams can let JJ walk, pocket a 3rd round comp pick, and do something else with that $14M.by AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Snead does the drafting, Demoff does the contracts. Rams have been drafting players to potentially backfill guys who might leave via FA. When the rookies pan out the Rams can then afford to let some guys walk and get the comp picks in return. To the extent that the Rams have been successful in the strategy it is a credit to Snead. The Rams have had some contracts not work out so well (Cooby AlbaNY_Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
