Everett, Reynolds, JJ, Hill & Brown are the ones I feel most confident are gone.

Kenny Young and Kiser I think both could easily be gone.
A'Shawn is a real possibility.

Oh.. I'm pretty sure Goff is gone.

I don't see Brockers gone. There's no way they get rid of Brockers and Robinson and Brockers is a popular player on the team and had a much better year.

The wild card to me? Havenstein. I just think RT is a fairly easy position to replace.. call me crazy.

I don't know.
Rams paid Fowler 14 million for 1 year two years ago. They paid 10 million for Floyd plus an incentive.
Do we know the market for Floyd? Is it too high for the Rams? I think they can go up to 14-15 million a year for him. Higher? I doubt.
I know we think it's easy to plug in whomever next to Donald and it will work out.. but it hasn't been that simple. They made the trade for Fowler and got to know him well enough to offer the 14 million for one year.
Floyd? Staley knew him and told the Rams he'd be right. So.. there's a certain amount of familiarity with both before spending the money.
I just don't think that undervaluing having a complete OLB who is relatively young and healthy and productive is a great idea.

Who? For how much?

ocram23 wrote: ↑March 6th, 2021, 8:28 am I am a firm believer in the fact the money this off season should be spent on the OL and a WR not the Edge position. It has been proven twice now with guys that have been stiffs in their previous life when they play alongside AD they all of a sudden become all pros. Floyd isn't worth the money

The Rams have spent 14 & 11 million the last two seasons for younger former high draft picks.
Floyd was a bargain last year.

Edge is one of the most important positions on the team & they have no proven performers.

I can see spending money on the Oline if you think it’s someone who makes a big difference. I don’t see them spending much on a WR.

I didn't say he'd take less.. what are you talking about?
I'm saying his production and profile make investing in him worth it. 14-15 a year for him ain't crazy. There may be other cheaper options.. but are they as good options? Fowler may get released.. if he did, I'd give him a call.
What I'm saying is I think that you're paying at least $10 million for decent player. If you could structure it right, I'd go to 14-15 with Floyd. The Rams don't have anyone they can count on on either side.
