Offensive line is definitely a problem, but he's missing open receivers when he has time. It's not completely the OL, and it's not entirely Goff, but if you want to pretend he isn't regressing, then you aren't watching.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
No quarterback does well behind a bad offensive line, but what appears to me to be Jared's biggest weakness is he processes slowly. With time he can see things. I think he has all the tools, but I believe he is a slow thinker. Not like Kurt was, he could see and process things so quickly, but even he was far less effective against pressure.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree, he has some flash that I love.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
He's going to be playing for the raider's, how is that a win for him?by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com

They haven't stopped a team this year. Garoppolo threw 3 terrible ints and they still scored 16, GB put up 29 and the Bills put up 27, that is a 24 point per game average, that is not good defense.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I've lived here since 75, and the eighties were the worst...by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I only think it becomes a big locker room deal if the Ram's start leaking and bad mouthing. If they keep negotiating in good faith and keep their mouths shut it will just be seen as part of the business of negotiating and not the Ram's being cheap and not taking care of their players.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
He is a blowhard, but my wife is a Raider's fan, so I saw most of their games last year, and their defense was terrible. That isn't Mack's fault, but he was part of a truly bad D.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
And you are pro player, and that is your bias. You are allowed to have that bias. This negotiation will resolve in some manner eventually, they always do. I don't think Donald is wrong for trying to get as much jack as he can, but I think the Ram's would be irresponsible to simply give in and "pay the man". The Ram's front office doesn't have a great track record on paying the rightby BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
Well said, the difficulty is building and maintaining a dynasty. I haven't seen the Patriots breaking the bank on a yearly basis, and no one calls them cheap.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
25M per year would make him the fifth highest player in the league this year tied with Dereck Carr and Drew Brees. Not unreasonable for arguably the best defensive player in the league. I'm not sure you build a perennial super bowl contender around a defensive line man, but if the team thinks he is truly that game changing, then pay him that way. They really need to fix the salary system in thby BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
Please stop calling this a second contract, it's not, he has a contract, this is an extension, or a renegotiation. Not, repeat NOT a second contract. The man is underpaid, and he should be paid somewhere in the 21-28 mill a year, because he deserves it. He will get paid, or sit out, that much is obvious, and both sides are trying to get the absolute best deal possible.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I agree, that's where the number should end up. Who knows if the Ram's won't budge, or the agent won't, but that is ground breaking money that could still be affordable.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
You can't "Just Pay the Many" you have to pay him, and have a responsible approach to your salary cap. I think the salary cap system is garbage, guaranteed contracts should be the norm, and if someone gets injured/retired/cut, it shouldn't count against the cap, but I don't get to make the system. The players screwed themselves during the last collective bargaining agreement, I thinkby BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I thing 22-23 is a good number. I just said that I didn't think 21 is too low/insulting. Are there any other players that got unprecedented contracts before they hit free agency?by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
My point being if you want to get paid early, you have to give something back, its negotiating 101, you can't get something for nothing. I'm not pro labor like your self, or pro management like others, I see it strictly as a give and take thing, if he was a free agent, then set a new precedent, be the highest paid player, get your money, but as long as the Ram's have some leverage, he has to giveby BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
If he was currently a free agent, then 25M is a good number, but he isn't he's renegotiating/negotiating an extension.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I think they need to pay him too, but I still think there is little to no chance he signs a deal before Khalil Mack. He wants, and deserves to be the highest paid defensive player in the league, and he won't be happy if Mack signs a bigger deal right after him.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
You also don't know that they didn't offer it. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, maybe he won't sign until he sees what Mack gets paid, and held out to show that he was serious, who knows? Its all just conjecture both ways.by BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm not disputing that, but they also exercised the option during the 3 month window. NFL.COM Articleby BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
Thank you. Both sides get a 3 month window after the third year to either renegotiate, exercise a fifth year option or just play out the fourth year of the deal. The Rams chose to exercise the fifth year option. There's a lot to this, the man needs to get paid, and the team needs to be smart, honestly I think both sides are playing this pretty well. My wife is a Raider's fan, and you are heariby BarryRams - RamsFootballFans.com
I'm very interested in this third year option, I can't find anything about it on google, or in any article referencing Frederick of the Cowboys and his new contract. It was my understanding that the rookie contract structure was in place to allow teams to keep control of first round prospects for as long as possible with little to no financial risk if they do not pan out.
