The Rams rewarded Gurley...Let's see if they can reward the biggest catch.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I think it's wrong to say the Rams hold all the cards. Donald does have options...and if sitting and demanding a trade is one of them, it's a major trump card on the Rams hand.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
it would be all about quickness for him. He shorter frame is likely to provide a better base for physicality vs. the tall and long Watt.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com

Gurley, Cooks, Cousins, Rodgers... That's a bogus argument. It's not restricted to DL.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
or whatever station that covers the Rams.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
this is not a good thing. Bill Parcells would have made his life miserable...and I'm not talking about a PUP list. Let's say he is sick, would they have given him the conditioning test? Just asking...once again, I don't know what the test entails. And, if Axl's story is true, someone should leak it to the press.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I mean...take FFB away and do ratings take a hit? I think they do. However, there is a new paved road ahead...it's called legalized betting. The NFL, and sports in general, will benefit from increased/maintained viewership.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I believe the QBs and other "impact" players have gone up so much that dollars are being reallocated.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
I guess because they want to see the team play at full strength. And, there is a sense of jealousy...the player is getting paid millions so "that is enough...they don't need more." However, this flies in the face of so many things. - Actors get $30 million a movie and no one says a word. Why can't they take $5 million?

Where does one go with this statement? Jaw dropping.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
it's too late for 2018 and Donald risks injury now.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
which is Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady. $24,000,000 is not the market rate for top QB's. These are facts. The fact that the Rams had holes in other parts of their defense, and the fact that Jeff Fisher couldn't coach a pee wee offense, is not on Aaron Donald. Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are not the players they are because they played behind an OL like the Rams had the previous 3-4 seasby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
so why would other teams value him and the Rams don't? Why? Because the Rams have leverage through the CBA. Many of you are caught up over $21 million...$25 million. The Rams can overcome the difference for the best defensive player in football. Also, I disagree with you about contemplating about moving forward without him. You don't sell luxury boxes and season tickets by letting yourby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Why? People keep talking about the accrued season. Well, if you're Aaron Donald, who cares when he knows they have the franchise tag available another two seasons. The Rams can underpay him, including this season, for three more years. So...he comes in by 8/8...he still is underpaid...he still has the possibility of the tag on him for two more years. AND, without a new deal, he risksby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
he sealed the end of his career with the Rams. Plus, what will this do for a team that wants to sign a long term deal with Joyner? He signs under the tag and shows up out of shape? A team is going to trust him on a long term deal? NOT! I just have to believe there is more to it than coming to camp out of shape. That would be incredibly stupid...especially knowing he is going to be a freby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
and blows his knee out on day 1 of camp...with no new contract. What happens?by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
but I'm switching to DIRECTV because my view has been cleared. But, last year...it was $100! :beercanby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
If that is true... He just wrote his exit letter after this season.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
$30,000,000. So $24,000,000 isn't QB money. By that definition Cooks and Gurley are already getting QB money since they make as much as Blake Bortels who just signed a new deal.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
That's a big leap...but then again he did jump hurdles.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
We are the arbiters of what is enough. An actor get $30,000,000 for one stupid movie. Stan Kroenke is worth billions...but that didn't deter him from wanting more billions did it?by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
You misrepresented my post. No problem. Apology accepted.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
If and I say IF, the leak is true, at that level, a $4 million difference can be bridged. BTW, if the Rams leaked it, I would be major league pizzed if I were Donald. Aaron Donald has been nothing but a professional's professional.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
Greed is all on the players when all the risk is on the players. Greed...no...the owners are greed meisters. Funny...we all look at the money Donald is offered and say "That's enough!" But, I assure you, most all here would fight for a few million more if you could. An extra $2-3 million a year means lot to everyone, including millionaires. And I further assure you, if yoby jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
you did by your comment ripping him for not tweeting. Who makes you judge and jury on what people should do to congratulate a player? You say I don't know...I didn't say I knew anything. I said you don't know which you don't. Facts is facts. (written that way on purpose)by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
And what makes $22 a ceiling? Why not $23? $1 million means 10 times more to Donald than the Rams. Also, as stated earlier, if he was a free agent, $25 million would be a cake walk.by jemach - RamsFootballFans.com
