Trade deadline might be quiet
I've been thinking this over, Rams might not make a move.
CB - D Will is playing well, Forbes looks better, Durant been solid and Spoon is returning. Is there a huge upgrade available that's not only worth the salary pickup but the draft capital as well? In the past, the Rams in this situation, traded for Ramsey, and he wasnt cheap. I doubt the Rams go this route again. I dont see a Ramsey upgrade being available, unless the Rams overpay big time. I would love for the rams to add a true nickel corner but Lake plays that spot alot, so I doubt the rams add anyone there.
Front 7? There's been a few times when the Rams have had trouble generating pressure but for the most part they have been the strength of the D and once they get going, the sacks come in clumps. I doubt the Rams add anyone to the front 7. Anyone that is good enough to start on the rams front 7 won't be cheap.
OL - Would love a upgrade to Shelton, but is there a huge upgrade at center available? Will Mcvay risk swapping out the center while the rams OL is trying to build chemistry? Earlier I was thinking RT, but Mclendon has looked solid at RT and Rams have other options already on the team.
Wr, te, qb and rb position is deep nothing to add there.
Kicker? I doubt it, Karty knocked in all his extra points and the rams seem to think the squid kicks was part of the problem, and the ol not blocking the other.
Personally I would just fire Chase, but I doubt it happens.

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
Got to agree doesnt seem like there is an upgrade that makes sense due to depth. C, DB, maybe K only areas i can see to review.

I was hearing Jeffrey Simmons to the Rams, I would love to see it.

I doubt it. The rams DL already has Pooh, Fiske and Turner. Rams invested alot in the DL, I doubt they throw a 1st and 3rd for Simmons too.

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
A small price to pay for an elite player. I would rather not take a lot of chances against smash mouth teams like the Whiners and CHickens. You can never have too much beef.

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
A first round pick is a huge price to pay for a player that plays a position that may be this team’s strength regarding DL. Even for Simmons. 3RD ok not a first…………
Again this team needs to at some point replace their QB who will be 38 in February. Those 2 1st round picks are just too damn important to lose. Trade one away maybe for a second 2027 first ok but not for a current position of strength……….

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
I get your point but they gave up a 2 & 3 for Von Miller as an 8 game rental at a position where they already strong so sometimes going all in means doubling down. I believe Simmons still has two years left on his deal. Also, I would have no issue with Jimmy G as a bridge if Stafford does retire.NorCal RF wrote: ↑October 21st, 2025, 2:43 pm A first round pick is a huge price to pay for a player that plays a position that may be this team’s strength regarding DL.

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
Simmons contract is actually not that bad over the next 2 years. Especially as it relates to dead cap hit. And I like Simmons. How can you not. With that said he would probably still cost you delaying extending one of this team’s core young players. Not sure if he is worth that risk just for that factor n then you throw in a possible 1st. Nope not doing it.Slickjack wrote: ↑October 21st, 2025, 3:11 pmI get your point but they gave up a 2 & 3 for Von Miller as an 8 game rental at a position where they already strong so sometimes going all in means doubling down.

How old was Stafford when they traded for Miller. Big, big part of the decision making now when it comes to trading away first day draft picks. Again like you said they didn’t trade a 1st for Miller……….
Jimmy G bridge or no bridge you have to find your future long term QB soon. Keeping 1st round picks, whether you draft that QB or trade for one, is going to increase your odds one would think in getting that huge decision for this team correct…………….

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
I would be ok with a 2nd and 3rd for Simmons, but I doubt the rams get him for less than a 1st and 3rd bc he isnt a one year rental, he has multiple affordable years remaining. In all honesty there are so many teams looking for pass rushers, I doubt the rams get him for a 1st and 3rd. Might take 1st and 2nd.Slickjack wrote: ↑October 21st, 2025, 3:11 pmI get your point but they gave up a 2 & 3 for Von Miller as an 8 game rental at a position where they already strong so sometimes going all in means doubling down.

Maybe Kobie Turner and a 2nd? Tenn might take that but would the rams do it?

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
I was thinking going into the year that the Rams left 15 million in CAP space because if they played as well as they thought they would they would be able to make a trade without having to redo contracts etc. With that said we look pretty solid all around. We should be freaking 7-0 but should of could of would of...
The only position I would make a trade for at this point is a Center or DB unless of course someone has a serious injury. Maybe a WR if he's the right guy. Tutu isn't cutting it as a #3 or #4 WR for that matter (ESPN has Whittington as our #3 on their depth chart)...

Judge our new coach in his third year. After all our last coach was to game strategy what Yoko Ono was to the Beatles...

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
No way would I give up high draft picks for Simmons. He's injured for one and our front 7 are playing great ball. McVay won't change centers in the middle of the year either. If we are talking about throwing around 1st and 2nd round picks it would have to be for a CB who is under contract for a while. Not even sure I would do that or who that would be. We have a team built to win it all so I would sit tight.

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
We don't have to trade away our 2 first rounders . But I would be ok sending a 2nd and a 3rd and maybe some players to acquire an elite player .

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
The reason is : Stafford is playing at elite level and it seems we have another window here to go all IN . Doesn't have to be crazy all in like we did last time making crazy trades that ended up working but we should definitely look to improve the roster.brasilrams wrote: ↑October 21st, 2025, 7:32 pm We don't have to trade away our 2 first rounders .

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
My thoughts on MS then & now : He is the Rams QB now and for next year. An aging but highly skilled pocket passer should have as strong a LG / C / RG combo as you could possibly build. We weakened the C position & G play has been just ok . We are 5-2 so this is not a complaint per se on IOL performance but knowing MS is back should provide him with best surrounding talent.

Speculation
Breece Hall for Corum?
Jets get a young cheap talented back and Rams get a back that can take it to the house to pair up with KW.

Re: Trade deadline might be quiet
I don't see why people aren't concerned about our cornerback position.
I don't see us getting to the Super Bowl with these cornerbacks, you don't need Jalen Ramsey, or Patrick Surtain, but we need somebody who can be better than what we have.
Also I wouldn't crown Mcclendon just yet, I don't think he's been close to tested, but it is true Hav has been atrocious

LA Rams Trade for Myles Garrett Possible Based on New Evidence
After the Cleveland Browns gave superstar pass rusher Myles Garrett a four-year extension worth $160 million earlier this year, it seemed likely that the six-time Pro Bowler would finish his career in Cleveland despite a rumored trade request in the summer. Then Week 8 happened.

It’s officially time to admit defeat on Colby Parkinson signing
Parkinson has failed to stand out in the Rams’ offense, and there’s no reason to keep him at this point

I would love for the rams to trade Colby for at least a 5th. Anything less, the rams might as well keep him until the 2026, bc he can block and knows the offense.
