He's been dinged a few times. He has played through it, but the year he tore his ACL, he injured his knee earlier in the year and had to miss a little bit of time before coming back and tearing his ACL later in the season.

Just curious where you guys get the money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought there was alot of talk from you guys about Jefferson taking his place? I figured we would keep Kupp. After this deal, Woods won't be happy though. He's under contract for two more years for almost half of what we will be giving Kupp. We will either need to give him a raise this year or next, or a trade to a team that will pay him after this season. There are another six starters plus Gerald Everett that will be free agents after this year, so I don't see any money for Woods in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you have some that have contracts: Goff, Kupp, Woods, Havenstein, Ramsey, AD, Brockers, A'Shawn Robinson. And then guys on rookie deals: Corbett, Noteboom, Akers/Henderson, Kiser, Howard, Rapp And then guys who are waiting to start: Edwards and Evans (OL), Jefferson, Lewis (EDGE), Obo (EDGE), Long (CB), Burgess (S) So while it feels like the Rams have given out all these crazy contracts, in reality, after this year we only have 8 guys who aren't on rookie or cheap deals - and even with that, Brockers, A'Shawn and Havenstein could all be cap casualties (technically Whitworth is under contract beyond this year but that was likely just for cap manipulation). Now, of that group of rookie contracts above, the question marks will be ILB, EDGE, and OL. Edwards, Evans and Lewis feel like potential hits right now. Which means we will need to take whatever cap we have and hopefully invest in a pass rusher, ILB and then hope our OL is solid - then use the draft to add depth/future replacements, namely CB, EDGE and WR This was longer than I intended it to be, but basically the Rams are one of the youngest teams in the league again and have a ton of guys on rookie deals 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but that doesn't matter. He's already proven at a young age that he's perfectly capable of missing out on a lot of game time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's much less concrete. Because money rolls over infinitely, the cap is fluid from year to year. Now, teams are capable of just moving money around from year to year to avoid running into cap issues. Eventually, it catches up with you, and you have to take your medicine. But you can put it off for awhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that the Saints should be a measuring stick and somewhat the Wiggles. Those teams have been in cap hell forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl4life07 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 According to the public the Rams weren’t supposed to have money a few offseasons ago. Not many people want to admit that Snead and company know how to work the cap and structure contracts to put the Rams in great position. I’m glad my guy Kupp got his money. The best receiver in his draft class that the Rams stole in the 3rd round and he has been great for the Rams since day one. He will continue to do great things.
