Rams extend WR Robert Woods (4 years, $65M, $32M gtd)

Next year the Rams have 8 players with an 8M+ cap hit, 2 players between 1.6 and 8M and 35 playing for change. Ramsey, Donald and Goff account for 85M of that cap hit, which is almost 50% of the estimated cap hit for 2021 (175M). The salary cap exists, and the Rams are a good example of that.

 

P.S. Forgot to say, OTC has them with 18M over the cap. They'll have to restructure Goff's and Donald's deals.

That's with the assumption that the cap goes down this year. If that's the case there are 12 teams that will be over the cap and 4 or 5 that will be more over the cap than we would be. There would also be a handful of teams that couldn't pay their draft class.

Remember when he signed as a free agent and everyone lol'd the rams for massively overpaying him, and then he turned out to quietly be a very good wide receiver and pretty underpaid for the last couple of years? 

Ahhh...good times. 

Just lol'ing us would have been fine. Some of the reaction in hindsight is comical with how good Woods has been.

People bashed alot of the moves the Rams made that offseason. Woods was overpaid, the Rams gave an aging player Whitworth a ton of money and they hired the youngest coach in NFL history and the track record for young first time head coaches arent good. Not to mention I heard people bashing the Rams for taking Kupp and Johnson III in the 3rd round in the draft. How did all of that turn out?

That’s just stupid. He’s worth half that. 

Uhh, what?

He is definitely worth way more than half that. He is likely worth 12-14 mil so this is an overpay, but saying he is worth half that means you are uninformed on how productive he has been the past two seasons. Woods can ball out.

He's definitely worth what he's being paid. Great route runner, reliable hands, and arguably the best blocking WR in the NFL. He's a consistent 80 to 90 catches for 1100 to 1200ish yard WR in our offense, and that doesn't come close to summing up his value when it comes to the things not on the stat sheet. He's one of the more underrated players in the NFL.

I think posters aren't considering how great of a fit Kupp and Woods are for McVay's offense.

He might not be worth that to them for their team, but for McVay and Goff these guys are great fits and can put up better #s than elsewhere.

Woods only has two seasons playing at this level. He has stepped up more as the offense needs him and I love the way he plays, but I still think this is a slight overpay.

Woods was playing at that level in 2017 before his injury. Prior to that, he was stuck in Buffalo in a scheme that didn't use him well with QBs who didn't fit his skill-set.

He’s probably the best YAC we in the NFL.. 

 

You know what’s crazy though.. When arguments are made against Goff it’s because he has Woods and Kupp and they’re amazing YAC wrs. When they get paid they aren’t worth it despite having phenomenal numbers.. and they’re a product of a system. Gotta save these quotes.

Woods is so deadly in the jet sweeps as well.
