If that's true, it means we have a good shot at landing Mathieu if he is willing to wait. I don't follow him but he shows up in my feed a lot. That said, he cites "sources" then gives flippant reasons and defers to other people (who aren't recognizable or have any credibility themselves) as to why he can't reveal those sources. I'm not saying he's a BS artist, but I get the feeling that he's one of those types that always pop up this time of year trying to get themselves jobs by inventing clout they don't actually have. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, doing a bit more study into him, he appears to be a guy who is part of a Discord group wherein a far number of soft-sources bandy about stuff they're hearing. They're not actually any media workers, but that doesn't mean they don't have contacts, so grain of salt and all. I don't think he's someone necessarily trying to build clout for himself, but he's parrotting what he's hearing from other people trying to get credit for some of the stuff they're sourcing for himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDY10 Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 (edited) Schefter said the Rams arranged to give OBJ number 3 but told him he had to switch to a new number in 2022. Edited April 27, 2022 by MDY10 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is nothing gained from letting this leak out ahead of, say, Saturday unless they're also trying to play a few head games with other GM's and signal, "We're bringing him back so don't count on signing him... and we're not as likely a threat to take a mid-round WR, so no reason to trade in front of us or worry that if we call you wanting to trade up that that's the position we're targeting." Conversely, it's Cam that's switching numbers here. To the number he's worn since Pop Warner. That doesn't preclude Odell resigning, because he only took #3 in the first place because he's traditionally worn #13 and that's Wolford's # (Wolford isn't even a lock to make the roster at this point and if Odell's about to come into a reasonable signing bonus with an extension, he'll have the money easily available to buy the number off Wolford).

I sure hope they have a deal in place lol I had to edit my post after a tweet from Schefter saying it was all planned and OBJ Knew the number 3 was only for a year.

I just addressed that last part in my edit into my post. Have to remember, OBJ wearing #3 was the first time he hadn't worn #13 in his career dating back to HS (where he wore #3).

NVRamsFan Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Akers wanted to go back to 3 like college last year but it would have cost him $500k to do so. This year he can change IMO this doesn't change any thing with OBJ. If he was going to sign here he still will. After the draft when we do some extensions too. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moreover, as I stated above, if/when OBJ does come back I fully expect it to be wearing #13 as it has been pretty much his entire college and pro careers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDY10 Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Now that the draft is over, can we sign players and not affect the comp formula? Or is that in the coming days still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes i think we can sign them right away. We have 6 M left and we still need DL/EDGE. Maybe Mathieu is still on play but i'm anxious we don't have any depht at DL/EDGE. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a feeling we wouldn’t land him. Maybe the Rams felt the same way, seeing as how they heavily invested in the secondary over the weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to throw out some names: Joe Haden Landon Collins: Probably willing to take 1 year prove it deal. Clearly secondary is a concern based on draft/trade Kyle Fuller Anthony Barr Linval Joseph Chris Harris TY Hilton Rob Gronkowski Eric Ebron Takkarist McKinley Sheldon Richardson AJ Bouye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
