On this date in 1991—Rams release Mel Owens…Owens spent 9 seasons with the Rams…122-games, 91 starts…became a starter in 1983…had 9-sacks in 1985…a really good player, but overdrafted at 1/9/1981-Michigan…Rams traded #20, #52, and #105 to Washington to jump from 20 to #9 to take Owens…This was not a Don Klosterman trade…#20 turns into Mark May a fixture with the Hogs and appears in three Super Boby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

Great post....part of the reason I love this site...Your thoughts...your crystal ball...I don't think they were fully enamored with all that was on the market and the asking price (salaries) for the edge...I see a trade back to accumulate picks in a deep draft ...or, possibly, a big move with that #19 pick for an established edge.....and, yes, I would not rule out a QB if the opportunity presentsby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
Born on this day in 1940—Joe Carollo LT (Notre Dame): Drafted by the Rams 2/16/1962 (6-2/265)….Started at LT from 1962-1968 (appearing in 97/starting 70) did not miss a game 1965-1968…Pro Bowl in ’68…Was traded to Philly in the Bob Brown/Jim Nettles deal…started two years for Eagles…and returned to the Rams in 1971 as a back up… Think about the Rams draft class in 1962… #2 Roman Gabriel, #3 Meby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I’ve mentioned that Mike McCallister is the only other center on the roster other than Steve Avila…but overlooked is Grant Miller…a member of the practice squad…he’s listed as a guard but he did play center at Vanderbilt, successfully, before transferring to Baylor. Miller is a UDFA the Rams signed last May… he’s 6-4/306… Think how the Rams developed Alaric Jackson and Coleman Shelton…Milleby JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com

He just did the team a massive solid by restructuring...so I don't know...after Super Bowl 56...yeah, I think that was a leverage thing...now? I'm not sure....only my gut, but it doesn't seem like he's done.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I get it...everything makes sense...10 years...two Super Bowls, a ring...finances set for life...leave now before wrecking your body any worse than it already is...be around your family.... But the Rams are a Super Bowl contender in '24....and a fierce competitor like Donald going now...just seems weird to me...

No evidence to contradict Aaron Donald's retirement except my gut...Everything is aligned for him to retire...So he must have 0 in the tank to walk away from the Rams in '24...I'm going to keep it in.pencil and wait until after the Draft to put it in ink.

Second! Any other discussion? All those in favor say, "Yes." All those opposed same sign... Motion approved...Carson Wentz should be resigned by the Rams.by JoeT13B - RamsFootballFans.com
I believe its because people went with received knowledge.... The phrase "the bill will come due" was repeated over and over...and everyone just went with it....As someone who used to work in media...never let the media's opinions change what you see to be true with your own eyes.
