QuoteLMU93 To me running 12 personnel- or two TEs- creates the biggest run or pass guessing game for defenses. Especially if you can split one of them out into the slot. But you also have to have two TEs that can legitimately block. Edge and OL remain the Rams' top two needs. But this is a case where value could be really good and adding talent there would make great sense both short and longby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Rams 2023 free agency preview: Will Greg Gaines remain in LA? Cameron DaSilva Greg Gaines took a little while to become an impactful player for the Los Angeles Rams, but he really broke through in 2021 after Sebastian Joseph-Day got hurt. Gaines stepped in and became the starting nose tackle during the Rams’ Super Bowl run, playing at a very high level up front. Unfortunately, he’by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
She mentioned one thing in a litany of McVay ‘22 frustrations that really resonated with me. And that was that McVay had been forced to ‘rush through’ too many assistant coach hires and then McVay thought that they failed to help him sufficiently and lacked needed feedback to the HC. That kinda verified what many of us had speculated on this board. Also, that McVay was really ‘off’ for mby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Will LA Rams re-sign Baker Mayfield? Sometimes love just ain't enough Bret Stuter The NFL is a business that is pure and unfiltered entertainment. That means that the NFL experience to the millions of fans worldwide is about giving those fans an escape from their lives.

Will the LA Rams re-sign any of their own free agents? Bret Stuter eterans. While this is all happening in the days leading up to the new 2023 NFL season, disguised as an effort to clear salary cap space, the numbers do not add up. Right now, the Rams have already outright released ILB Bobby Wagner as a Post June 1-designation. But the team did not stop there, as there are more and mby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Here’s AvengerRam… I’m speaking both directly to some of you here, as well as rhetorically to Rams fans at large. I know what you fear. You fear that the Rams are planning a purge that, in essence, trades short term potential (i.e. the 2023 season) for long-term stability. Such an approach would not be unheard of, of course. Many teams have taken such an approach in the past. My questionby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteRampage2K- it's simply time to cut some fat....this isn't some sort of tear down rebuild....talk to me when AD, Kupp and Stafford are on the trade block....this is about getting better and maybe using the money for bigger needs(see OL) This is a reboot, not a rebuild If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck,… Lol.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

For example, I really believe Hopkins has not been optimally coached here. And as you say, Everett seemed like a much better TE after leaving Rams. Is it TE coaching or McVay playcalling? Or both?by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

If Rams remove big pieces, it’s time to face reality and call 2023 a rebuild Is Aaron Donald the next to go?

QuoteBigGame81 I like drafting for talent. IMO, Gibbs would be the most talented player available to us at #36 and we could use his talent on offense. Immediate contributor. Speed we don't currently have in our backfield. Would love to see what McVay could do with him. And would make our QB's job much easier. But I don't think you have much to worry about. I don't think Gibbs makes itby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
Yeah, Rams have so many needs, I know. And I know that they must also be addressed. But a stud TE could turbocharge this Rams O like few other things could. We all saw fantastic TE play from playoff team after playoff team and I really want that for Rams. Higbee is ‘pretty good’ when healthy but he’s not the difference maker weapon that Rams need. I’m really hoping that Rams feel same waby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteBigGame81 Robinson and Gibbs are elite and would make an instant impact on this offense. Not insane to get a player that can make an instant impact in the running game and passing game. Gibbs is only 20 years old. Robinson probably long gone before we pick. Gibbs, probably gone but who knows. He's my pick if he's there. There are no other RB's I take at #36 though.

Not that he’s an All Pro, but damn! Now Rams feel forced to create a 2nd hole at their biggest position of need? WTH kind of planning is that? Keystone Kops 2.0?

8 potential landing spots for Rams OLB Leonard Floyd Cameron DaSilva The Los Angeles Rams are on the verge of parting ways with Leonard Floyd, either by trading him or simply releasing him if no takers emerge on the trade market. It’s the end of a three-year tenure for him in Los Angeles, but he has two years left on his contract and could be a solid target for another team in searchby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
First, the obvious question. Is RB rams top need? Or even close? Second, this is a deep RB class. As Alyo pointed out, Jeremiah claims that there are 13 starters in this class, so what’s the rush? Now, there are many player cuts coming where other teams are forced to get under their caps and Snead may be able to capitalize in FA before the draft, but last I checked Edge was our biggest needby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com

Orlando Brown expects to be paid as an elite LOT. That’s a given. Chiefs are unwilling and have drawn a line in the sand. Let’s see how this all works out. I predict that some desperate team overpays for Brown. We’ll see.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
It was simply pathetic last year, even above and beyond the OL injuries. RB no doubt will be added somehow, some way. FA, trade, draft, who knows? And if draft, how soon? At this point nothing would really surprise me about their priorities. ESPECIALLY if they trade Ramsey. Offense currently needs 6 position upgrades: RB (for future, if nothing else) Backup QB OG/OC TE (depth and 12 sby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
QuoteSoCalRAMatic Players have to be willing to restructure their contracts if they want to stay under the cap. I think these high salaries stars were approached and told the Rams to shove it.

QuoteAlbaNY_Ram To be fair, neither Stafford nor AD discussed retirement this year. According to the article in the original post, some guy at the combine told the reporter that a Stafford retirement was on the table.

As for AD he's on record as far back as Jan 23 saying he's playingby Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
As 53 has pointed out in another thread, OB is good but not great. Now, it’s true that Chiefs are taking a chance here, but why pay elite money to a non-elite player? Even a LOT? And I totally understand the Chiefs’ desire for a long term solution at that position. Good for them for taking a stand.by Rams43 - RamsFootballFans.com
