[NewEnglandBull]

Injury may be worse than initially thought but there is talk they may bring him back when healthy.

Saw that they signed Talib - I am still pissed that the Bucs picked him over Mike Jenkins

The words “l am pissed” and “Bucs” go together like peanut butter and jelly.

That sucks!  He had a solid year.

The injury hurt him and with all the moves the Rams made the last month this was strictly cap related. Rams held on to him long enough for a portion of his salary to guarantee($500,000) but they still save $4 million in cap space and the Rams will need it for a couple LBers(or 3) and they don’t pick til round 3 after the Cooks trade. 

 

With his injuries he may miss 80% of 2018 anyway and it being the last year of his contract this has been rumored for a while. Hope he focuses on getting back to healthy and would love to see him sign back up with the Rams. I even think I saw he was going to have a food truck at Rams games this year just earlier today 🤷🏼‍♂️

Still looks like he can come back but that is a tough injury to come back from and be 100%. But I love what the Rams have done this off season. Hope it’s enough!

Agreed it’s been a whirlwind of an off season that’s for sure. If we can get two solid LBs I’m ok with Ebakum starting on one edge. Might actually be a good fit to take a flier on Auggie later in the draft where he could focus on being a run stoping MLB and not worry so much about coverage. 

 

Finges crossed K Webb makes it back close to 100% and that this may finally be the year we get back to the Super Bowl.

Haha it’s coming. Worst case we can franchise him next year but we have $90 mil in cap for ‘19 and $120 mil in ‘20. Honestly I think Suh and Talib will be the only players we acquired this year plus Donald/Gurley/Goff that aren’t in LA past this year(Suh) or next (Talib). Those Quinn and Tree trades free up over $20 mil each of the next 2 years, somehow with Goff being the last piece(will get the most out of Donald/Peters/Cooks/Gurley) it worked in our favor to keep a young core for a long time.

Also need to get Cook for long term as we gave up so much to get him. It would be a killer if that is a one and done. My understanding is that mgt is going to attempt to sign him long term soon. Goff must be a happy camper going into OTAs.
