StLunatic88 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 PLEASE let this be the way Snead & Co are thinking! I have been saying this for months, Sammy doesnt deserve Tag money, he isnt something that we cant live without, and he hasnt shown to be a top performer at his position on any sort of consistent basis. On the other hand, Joyner has been all of those things, and with possibly moving on from Tru we can not lose LaMarcus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamRod Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Definitely tagging Joyner over Watkins is the way to go. Pair Joyner with Peters and we should have a strong defensive backfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fasteddyWVa Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think Joyner would be the better choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Tag neither. Let's get Joyner re-signed before FA. But if I have to pick one, I pick Joyner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G08 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Ya'll want nothing to do with Sammy Watkins? Or you just don't want to tag him? Reading the tea-leaves, what are the odds you think that the Rams do in fact tag Watkins? I'd have to think if he hits FA the Bears (and other teams) will be gunning for him.

chris00cm Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Think Joyner would be an easier re-sign than Watkins. Coincidentally, I think Watkins gets more on the open market because of name value and position scarcity. But if I had to choose, I feel better about tagging Joyner.

Flounch Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 Why tagging Joyner instead of extend him ? i would tag Watkins instead, it's less risky that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsFan24 Posted February 26, 2018 Share Posted February 26, 2018 I would rather give Joyner the deal for his years of performance and tag Sammy to see what he can do with a full offseason under his belt with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously signing a long term deal is the more desired outcome, but Free Agency opens in 2 weeks. And it seems more an more likely that those agreements wont be in place prior to that. We need to make sure we retain the rights to one of them, and I think that it is more important to hang onto Joyner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyner costs much less to tag and is harder to replace imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BStanRamFan Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Sign Joyner long term and tag Sammy. If we can't sign Joyner long term then tag him. Trade a 4th for Martavious Bryant to replace Watkins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't feel that Reynolds or Thomas could handle the deep threat role, we could go after Paul Richardson or John "Smoke" Brown in FA imo.

If we don't feel that Reynolds or Thomas could handle the deep threat role, we could go after Paul Richardson or John "Smoke" Brown in FA imo. You don't even have to have a burner for the guy to be a deep-threat in this offense. Someone like Marquez Valdes-Scantling out of South Florida in this draft isn't going to go until Day 3 because he probably isn't going to break 4.5 with his 40, but if you watch the tape, he's a consistent deep-threat with good size (high-6'3"/low-6'4"; 205 lbs.) who would have had more than the 6 TD's he posted this past season if his QB had better deep accuracy. If you want someone maybe a bit more refined and ready to go, J'Mon Moore has a fair shot to make it to the 5th round. But we spent a pick on Reynolds, presumably with this role in mind for him before we acquired Sammy, so why not give him a crack at the spot before rushing to replace him.
