Similar to the Rams-Jags Dante Fowler move last year.

ouch!

Cooks seems to be the easy one to get rid of in that scenario.

One back burner item which could hurt the Rams more is the new CBA in 2021. That is when Ramsey becomes a free agent....
Players want to do away with franchise tag... if that happens or if the tag value increases significantly then Rams will have to pay more to retain him. In fact all free agents in 2021 and beyond could become more expensive.

The owners won't give up the franchise tag unless the players give up something big like an 18 game schedule.

Cooks seems to be the easy one to get rid of in that scenario.

They can't. He'd have a $36 Million dead cap hit.

Wow. The starpower deals they've made the past two years - Peters (now gone), Talib (IR), Suh (now gone), Cooks (extended contract), Fowler, Mathews, Weddle. Extending Donald and Goff. Now Ramsay.

They don't have a first round pick in forever and watch the NFL let LA host the draft in 2022 (a TBD date on the schedule).

Hope they cut Cooper Kupp.

That cap is gonna blow up like it did ours, and they're not gonna have any good drafts to help them. They totally deserve it. I hope they become the next Miami Falcons.

Makes no sense they trade away one headache and trade a bunch of picks for another one. I gave Rams too much credit earlier when I said they were getting draft picks for assets that are tradeable. This fixes nothing for them. They still have a limp expensive R.B and Q.B that has been mediocre since Gurley went gimpy. Oh yeah im laughing my butt off ?

 

[football]

Crazy if things don't improve over there. And I will enjoy it. They may improve somewhat defensively but that offensive line is horrible. All I can say is...Whatever to them....lol

That’s a preposterous price to pay for anything short of a franchise QB or impact pass rusher.

My sentiments exactly.

 

[los226]

They expect Talib back this season such as last year and Ramsey is a fine number one corner to fill in for now. Their back up corners can’t be worse than what they’ve been getting from Peters. Once Talib comes back watch out.

Welp, that explains the Marcus Peters trade

That certainly helps their defense, but their Oline is still subpar

atleast Talib is on IR .. so they get ramsey and lose peters and talib.
