Imo the only ones in this two day period we ever had a chance at were our own free agents and guys that wouldn’t count against the comp pick formula. I’d wager our restructures are already done just haven’t been announced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sucks for us but probably what they want so no one has any idea what they’re doing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NVRamsFan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 We should see a lot of one year deals, anything longer than that will have a minimal year one hit with a guaranteed roster bonus in the next two years for like $20 million to offset it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a deadline.. no? Teams would like to sign certain players before they could speak to other teams sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like since the end of the season, its ridiculous to believe anyone actually abides by these things any more. How does Janu Smith get that much money from the Patriots 20 min into the "Tampering period" if they havent been talking for a while now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStanRamFan Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) We could POTENTIALLY have a 1st round pick if someone makes an offer to sign him. I do not want that, but it's possible. If we did, I'd fully expect that 1st to be traded for a proven vet. Edited March 15, 2021 by BStanRamFan 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just saying I thought they’d have it done before noon. Also Safe to say this year is a bit different though. It didn’t pop off like it normally does. Few deals, nothing crazy.

It’s a win win imo. Do we think someone is actually willing to make that trade though? He’s had one good year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is signed to an offer sheet, I feel like the Rams likely won't match it and take the 1st rounder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, and in the past, this has been an exciting time for rams fans out the gate in Free Agency, so I can understand being antsy right now. But as Ive stated multiple times, we just dont have the same wiggle room as in the past, or even compared to the rest of the league right now. As some have mentioned, Im sure we have the restructures on deck, and we will execute them as needed, but not until we have to. I cant imagine they want to commit more guaranteed dollars to the last few years in Ramsey's contract before they absolutely have to. (because as we all know, it could go off the rails at any point) Being completely honest, Im shocked we are even attempting to bring Floyd back, unless he thinks he can cash in even more next year? And he does a Taysom Hill style phantom contract? Just feels like its about to be alot of rumors/whispers for the Rams, with not much execution for a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he does a Taysom Hill style phantom contract? That’s very true. Maybe take advantage of having one more year with AD. If you’re the rams, I don’t get why you sign him. It was said a few days ago.. AD is a 3rd round comp generator. I’d keep that going lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVRamsFan Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 You could guess he was going to get this and it’s nice news on his birthday that he’s gonna get paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLunatic88 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 JJ gone, as we all should have expected. No chance we could have paid him that, but honestly alittle surprised it wasnt more. Hope he hangs on as a Comp 3rd. Hes already the #3 AAV this offseason, and its been less than 5 hours. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
