According to this report: new-york-giants-odell-beckham-told-two-los-angeles-rams-wants-in/ I also saw another report that he is close to AD - and has a bond from AD's holdout last year, both being in a similar position - and AD was one of the players he told.

Assuming the Rams traded for OBJ, assuming his new team has to immediately give him a new extension, and setting aside the cost to trade for him, I want to explore the salary cap ramifications. Hypothetical: If we knew that trading for OBJ with his new deal was the SOLE cause that we don't sign Peters long term b/c not enough space for both, who is still in favor of trading for OBJ?by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

The Giants won't get multiple 1st round picks from anyone. That's a huge overpayment. When is the last time we've even seen that? I think 17-18 years ago in a previous CBA.by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
McVay has made statements, before and after losing Watkin, that corroborate what you state here regarding the purpose of the deep threat and how it schematicaly affects a defense. And FWIW, A.

QuoteRockRam I've said "great".....regarding those positions. Nonetheless, I'm certainly not against having great players in those positions. The issue is how much you have to pay in draft capital to get them, and how much cap space you have to allocate to keep them.

It seems you're insistent on taking a dismal outlook so suit yourself. Whit's got plenty of mileage on his body and is still playing at a high level. So is Suh. What's more is Suh has been the most durable player only missing 2 games for his career. The Rams should be fine with Suh for one year. It'll be Ok! Really!by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
for playing more snaps than any other D'linemen in the league. That anti selfish right? It also kind of explains the taking plays off thing. One former player now media expert (don't remember who) said that everybody takes off plays but he took more off b/c he was playing too many snaps. He wasn't selfish; he was fatigued. The solution is simple. Join a team like the Rams where you canby dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com
They're having an epic showdown in NY and OBJ has proclaimed that he's not suiting up for anybody without an extension. He has the leverage to make that happen b/c he doesn't need to play a single game this year to become a free agent afterwards. He already has 4 accrued seasons. So NY has to extend him or trade him. Trading him a different year makes no sense. OBJ is forcing their hand,by dzrams - RamsFootballFans.com

16, 18, 10. That's the amount of points the D gave up for the last 3 games. Their offense only needed to score 17 and 19 respectively to get by the big bad wolves.

WHY not? Suh, the 30 year old and the 32 year old CB are short term deals that don't harm the future in any way. In fact, they help the future by giving comp. picks when they move on. The why?
