N/S Brandin Cooks traded to Rams

The Rams are going all in on this year with cap implosion coming next year. Cooks is still on his rookie deal and will want to get paid. Same with Peters, Donald, Gurley, and soon Goff. Suh is only on a one year deal. The conspiracy theorist in me is thinking the NFL wants the LA market revived and a Superbowl / playoff run to get the ratings and fan base charged.

No need for a conspiracy on this one. They are trying to build a one year SB team because they believe they are really close AND they are competing against the Chargers to win over the LA market. The best way to do it is to build up the hype. I do believe this will blow up in their faces, it doesn´t seem like an analytics driven decision, more like the typical dream team that fails.
