Suh was a one year deal. The Rams aren't taking a short-term approach. They're being aggressive in the short-term while still setting themselves up beautifully in the long-term. Also, the Eagles have made plenty of similar moves. They traded for Darby, signed Alshon, traded for Ajayi, acquired Torrey Smith, acquired Chris Long, acquired Timmy Jernigan, traded for Golden Tate, signed Brandon Brooks . . . do I need to keep going? Peters is gonna require a big deal, cooks just got a big deal, Gurley just got a big deal. Darby was a rental for a 3rd a jordan Matthews. They're letting him walk. Alshon is the only one from that list that required big money for a long period of time. Brandon Brooks as well. I think its apples to oranges.

The man is a hall of famer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is a hall of famer. I know who he is obviously, its said more in jest than anything. Also Jerry Jones is in the HOF and his teams haven't done anything since i was 6 so that shows the credibility the HOF has. not putting TO as a first ballot is another credibility knock.. just a bunch of writers who have no athletic ability deciding who gets in.

Even if he went 1-3 in the Super Bowl, he would be aligned with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a multitude of players who I could argue don't belong in the hall. Another recent one to consider is Terrell Davis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks is getting paid 29 mil this year... Les front loads the crap out of contracts so they're team friendly after year 1.. Donald same IIRC he's making around 40 Mil. Rams are in prime positioned to bring guys in/extend guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your numbers are off, and that's in terms of real cash, not cap hit. Donald made over $40 million in 2018, and Cooks will make around $27.5 million in 2019.

Danger Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 All of this sounds pretty standard per the typical sort of signing bonus a high end player would expect to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooks' Cap Number in 2019 is $15.3 M 2020 is $16.8 M (17.8 M Dead || -1 M if cut) 2021 is $16.8 M (13 M Dead || +3.8 M if cut) 2022 is $17.8 M (8.2 M Dead || +9.6 M if cut) 2023 is $17.4 M (3.4 M Dead || + 14 M if cut)https://overthecap.com/calculator/los-angeles-rams/ What you're thinking of is his yearly cash: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/los-angeles-rams/brandin-cooks-14429/ The cap number works differently. Dead money is to ensure that if a player is cut before their contract is up that all the actual money they've earned to the point in which a team decides to cut them is still counted against the cap in some form. Otherwise, what stops teams from just giving a massive signing bonus to abuse the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
