Add another disappointment to this offseason.

Bad overpay. He had a solid season last year on paper, but really took advantage of his environment more than being a truly disruptive player.

Much more than a solid season. But he's not worth that much.

I think there is much more value in Floyd than a pure pass rusher, so I'm happy in that sense, in fact his ability in stopping the run was perhaps the thing that made us the top DEF in the country. PFF had it the 31st out of 32 going into the 2019 season against the run, this is without ANY names or much help from our MLB after losing a stud in Cory Littleton. Floyd really did it all, which doesn't show up in the box score. He's not the powerhouse that Donald is, but he's agile and a good tackler. I don't hate the contract, all things considered, but I'm not entirely sure what the cap hit will be this year. 

We had three players that I really wanted to stick around: Floyd, Williams and John Johnson. We're keeping two of the three, which in this league isn't bad.

Really surprised this thread didn't receive more attention. That is huge money for Floyd. Granted, you pretty much know he's going to be a productive player in that system, so it mitigates a lot of the risk. But I don't know if his value over replacement justifies this deal. Dante Fowler produced similarly the year prior before doing relatively little with Atlanta.

I just don’t think the Rams saw a replacement in FA. So they were forced to resign him. Just sucks the dude didn’t take a pay cut lol.. Only 4 mil more from last years contract. Wish it could have been less. Also, with a new system being put in place! Kinda scares me..
