Kevin Demoff is the financial manager, first-in-line to manage the salary cap, he signs players to contracts. I doubt that he has a role in evaluating on-field talent or hiring and firing coaches or front office people. In his years with Tennessee, Fisher's titans never drafted an offensive lineman in the first round.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
It makes perfect sense. I imagine that it helps savvy teams know what to expect two or three years out and make decisions about players with expiring 1st contracts. You didn't say so but I assume the reason the cost of a 2nd contract goes up each year is because the team salary cap keeps going up.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Well, I think we have seen the Rams officially visiting with players seen as second round talent because they don't pick until #31. The obvious first round talent will be off the board by the time we pick. To me, it's more of a clear signal that the Rams will not move up in the draft rather than a sign that they plan on moving down. Snead may still move down, but visiting with players rated by maby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
The Seahawks have $85 million in cap space for 2020 according to Spotrac and $95 million according to Over The Cap, before applying Wilson's new contract amount. His 2019 figure is unaffected since this is a contract extension. We would like for them to be crippled financially by Wilson's contract, but they really are not. Like every other team with a well-paid quarterback, they need one orby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
The Jaguars, Colts and Giants have a high second round pick and either a low third round or high fourth round pick(s) to make a deal using only picks in this draft. Any team could be a partner if one assumes a trade down includes future picks. The Seahawks have only four picks and several teams have just six picks, so I expect that there will be quite a few draft day trades this year. Snead maby snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
The defense gave up 13 points to the Patriots in the Super Bowl. I am not disappointed in the defense. If one is looking for gaudy statistics, then yeah I guess we have only one Aaron Donald on defense.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com

I really don't have a problem with what Mayfield said. He should be able to express his opinion, and he was not speaking just for himself. Head coaches can lose the team, Mayfield simply said so in his own words. Hurtful, but honest.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
You would be giving up the best player in the trade, Kareem Hunt, and getting in return a concussed Brandin Cooks and a RB who shares time with Mike Davis. Plus you would have to drop someone, assuming that your roster is full. I would not make that trade.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
Riley Reiff or Rashod Hill vs. Aaron Donald. Reiff was injured vs. the Bills and has not practiced through Tuesday. If he cannot go, the Vikings will likely move Hill to LOT and put rookie Brian O'Neill in at ROT. Pat Elflein will return to start at center. offensive line is being shuffled around.

Thielen is a possession receiver, Diggs has more speed and his hands are at least as good as Thielen's. If Peters is also out tomorrow, I hope Shields is on Diggs and Hill on Thielen.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
The Vikings offensive line is a mess. Keenum was successful last year because he could run around and chuck the ball downfield and get lucky. I think Cousins has not developed that chemistry with his receivers that good/great QBs have. And they had a problem at kicker, that they took care of.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com
The Vikings and Browns both waived their kickers last week and neither team signed Santos, though the Vikings got a better one in Bailey. The Rams kicking job is temporary, so maybe Santos is looking for more job security.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com

As I re-read the article, it seems that the author believes Donald wants a new contract that starts now; replacing the last year on his rookie contract. I don't believe that is the case and the author is wrong. The discussion from McVay and Demoff has always been about an extension to the current contract.by snowman - RamsFootballFans.com

Mannion is a capable backup. He is what most teams have behind their starter, better than some. I really don't understand the concern about Mannion. I think we have a very good offensive line that will keep Goff from getting hurt, we have excellent running backs to take on a larger role in the offense if necessary and McVay has praised Mannion publicly more than once.
