Pepperidge Farm remembers. Pepperidge Farm must be getting senile, no one blamed them for letting Vernon walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzane Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 8 hours ago, 49erurtaza said: Tavon Austin can be yours for a bag of chips. Funny, I can remember when the Rams (then of St. Louis, guided by those masterminds, Les Snead and Jeff Fisher) traded P to draft Tavon at, what, #8 in the first, clamoring that the Rams had found their "playmaker" for Sam Bradford: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1617200-st-louis-rams-2013-draft-picks-results-analysis-and-grades Round 1, Pick 8: Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia 1 OF 7 The St. Louis Rams traded their No. 16, No. 46, No. 78 and and No. 222 picks for the Buffalo Bills’ No. 8 and No. 71 selections and the right to select West Virginia wide receiver Tavon Austin. A bold move like that was mainly necessitated by two things: the Rams’ need for proven production at the wide receiver position and the buzz surrounding Austin and the New York Jets, who picked at No. 9. St. Louis paid for the ability to choose him, but that means they should have a clear plan in mind to utilize his skills. Given that the alternative first-round wide receivers all have more to prove than Austin does, the aggressive maneuver has to look good for Jeff Fisher and Les Snead. They were able to get a favorable third-round swap, but the lack of a second-round pick for a roster with so many holes is risky. The biggest concern about Austin coming into the league is due to his ability to stay healthy at 5’8”, 174 pounds—despite never never missing a practice in college. He’s a difference-maker on offense for a team that has sorely needed one for a long time. St. Louis hasn’t had a 700-yard receiver since Torry Holt in 2008. Grade: A "It not, you know, da size uh da frog in da fight, but, da size uh da FROG in da POND-! Whatever dat thing dey be sayin'..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When asked about him, his response was, “Well, Matt [Nagy] went to Chicago.” Since the Chiefs got hit with the loss of draft pick for Maclin leaving Philly, I hope there's some investigation if this is the case.

showtime Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Kirk Cousins is good, but I would be so angry if my favorite team signed him to a deal that is being reported. $100 million. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Option 3: Letting Jeff Fisher influence both decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol. Is that the guarantees? Because if it is just the number over 4-5 years, that's pretty much market value to the whole position. Not saying he is worth that $ but if he isn't then there are several QBs that are well-overpaid that are about as good as he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
