Ramsey/Kupp will be restructured. (possibly Donald) Stafford will be extended. Woods will be traded to Jax for #33 overall Rams will sign Kyle Rudolph. Rams will sign John Ross. Rams will sign Nick Martin. Rams will sign Denzel Perryman. Essentially we go bargain hunting in the latter days of FA as we have in the past on Rudolph, Ross, Martin, and Perryman. Wouldn't be shocked if we signed Keanu Neal on a 1 year incentive based deal while he looks to improve his value for next year. So a team all in with a new QB is going to downgrade their WR position from Woods to John Ross? How does that help us? Kupp will miss a handful of games and Ross in 4 seasons has played a total of 27 games with 51 catches. Ross if anything should be a compliment to Woods and Kupp not a replacement.

I'm very high on him and it fits our mentality of drafting a year ahead of need. I also just updated the post you quoted with a mockdraft and added a WR who I love as well in the 4th. With Kupp, VJ, Higbee, Rudolph, Akers, and Ross I like our weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whit-Humphrey-Martin-Edwards-Havenstein Little/Evans/ Anchorum as reserves. I'd be VERY happy with that situation going into the season.

Thankfully it looks like we’re restructuring him and Kupp so we stay all in with a great WR duo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading Woods would have saved $11M in cap and garnered an early 2nd round pick. It's more about diversifying our WR core as opposed to "downgrading" as you put it. Doesn't matter now because Woods restructure saves us $8Mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The figures mentioned ($20M) and Kupp/Donald/Whit along with a Stafford extension should give us actual spending money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have no clue what his cap hit will be. So instead doom and gloom, why don't we wait to find out more before we jump to conclusions.

Wouldn’t wanna put those future comp picks in jeopardy. If we needed -33M to get to even, then this would account for that plus Floyd. However, it does not include what a Stafford extension would save. I'm normally the first person to believe realiable sources (Rapoport), but I don't think we're done if Stafford gets extended.
