Rumor: CB Trumaine Johnson will not be back with the Rams

JLC has had info ahead of time on TruJo in the past. Wonder if he's in with his agent. I'd be shocked if we paid him this offseason to be honest.

Maybe. But I think we'd all be shocked if he was back with the team. So stating that he has some unidentified league source is... well.... yawn. And does anyone know what "league source" even means? Personally, I wouldn't classify an agent as a league source. But I could easily see where it could be looked at that way. It's like saying someone with knowledge of the NFL. Ambiguity is the benchmark of lazy journalism.

NFC West could be a real dogfight in ‘18...

I see people using the wins over the Rams and Jaguars as proof the 49ers are for real. If they wanna think beating a team in preseason mode, and a team who found out they clinched moments after kickoff is enough proof for them, they might be very disappointed when the real games start.

Jimmy G got picked twice by the Rams practice squad player and Aaron Donald and most of the Rams starters didn't play.

It's quite possible that the 49ers signed the next Brock Osweiler, who by the way, had very similar numbers to Jimmy G after starting 7 games.

49ers sign Jimmy Garoppolo to 5-year contract

FWIW's Jimmy Garoppolo scares me to death, I realize it's a small sample size, but I felt he looked very good and can move in the pocket as well....One of my Ram comrades has assured me he's overrated and New England would not have traded him, if he was that good...IMHO, the Patriots finally made a huge mistake and they had to it with the 49ers I might be overthinking it, but IMHO, I think the 49ers have one heck of a Quarterback here and I liked him very much coming out of Eastern Illinois.

den,
this is exactly what I saw in the Whiner games I watched on Directv.
This kid just looks and acts and plays like a quality NFL QB. I had to do a double take and remind myself that this guy had just learned the offense and had absolutely no experience or track record with the receiving corps.
We also have to remember that the Whiner's best receiver, Pierre Garcon, was already injured and out for the year and all Garoppolo had to throw to was M. Goodwin and a rookie TE named Kittle.
In spite of those issues he looked very comfortable and efficient.
Having said all of and in light of these facts it is incumbent upon the Rams, IMO, to improve our secondary and especially our corner back play or this dude is going to light us up.
Just sayin'

Is it finally time for the Rams to walk away from Trumaine Johnson?

-X-
CGI_Ram said:
Among 86 cornerbacks with at least 325 coverage snaps, Pro Football Focus had Johnson ranked 35th in opponents' completion percentage (57.3) and 36th in opponents' passer rating (79.8) when targeted, which accounts for every time a receiver was thrown a pass while Johnson was considered the primary man in coverage.

I don't know about all that. The scheme has a lot to do with it. If a CB is in zone and QBs are hitting shallow crossers, quick outs and short curls on his man, then how is that an indictment of the CB? I can't recall very many times Trumaine was beaten deep. As others have said already, the Rams have to put a value on him and stick to it. Simply "walking away" isn't really an option, so that thread title can blow me.

A draft “need” question for y’all...

dieterbrock said:
I think if Vita Vea or DaRon Payne are there, they would be legit choices however I don’t think either one will be and the drop off after them is pretty significant (from a 1st round grade)
Tim Settle is pretty darned good but might be a reach at 23

" Your reading my mind Bro!!!" I was thinking about all 3 of these^ Players!! There is a 4th one I have thought about, Derrick Knadi - Florida State - 6ft 1/312, makes me think of Donald!

Love is in the Air: A Valentine's Memento Mock Draft.

LOL....my dopey mind thought Joyner and my fingers typed Gaines....don't know why.
Poe played pretty well this year. If he was injured late that may lower his price.
Almost all of the long snappers that last literally have no bad snaps. Bad as in it goes shooting over the guys head. McQuade is remarkable as his usually don't even vary left to right very much. He also provides good coverage on punts. I'm sure he will be resigned.

Joyner? That's the guy I'd maybe tag in hopes of getting a long-term deal done. Loved Joyner in college, love him more in the pros.

Poe did play very well. I'm not sure if the back issue flared up or not. Even so, nose tackles don't tend to get paid much. I'd love to pay him eight or nine million if he's healthy. Because if he's healthy, with Donald and Brockers on either side and maybe a young nose tackle like Settle waiting in the wings, this could be a dominant defensive line.

Right. McQuaide is definitely worth re-signing.

Top 10 NFL Teams With Free-Agency Question Marks

Ram65
Lot of decisions for these team. Thought the Rams are the only ones with free agent decisions.

Prime Time said:
Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater are both high-upside but risky (because of their previous injuries) fall-back options, and with nearly $50 million in cap space heading into next year, the Vikings could set their sights on Redskins signal-caller Kirk Cousins, former Jet Josh McCown, or former Bill Tyrod Taylor instead.

Minnesota’s cap space could shrink considerably as the team looks to re-up veterans like stalwart cornerback Terence Newman (who played 555 snaps in 2017), guard Joe Berger (1,114), defensive tackle Tom Johnson (673), and running back Jerick McKinnon (527), plus retain core special teamers in return specialist Marcus Sherels and kicker Kai Forbath.

New York Jets
The biggest unknown for the Jets heading into free agency is obvious: What will the team do at the quarterback position? Incumbent signal-caller Josh McCown’s a free agent, and while the journeyman veteran has expressed interest in returning to New York in 2018, the team may utilize its $73 million and change in cap space to chase after Cousins or another one of the top free-agent passers.

Past that, the Jets have decisions to make on center Wesley Johnson (15 starts in 2017), rotational guard Dakota Dozier (three starts), and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins (50 catches, 357 yards, three touchdowns). They also must figure out whether to hang on to cornerback Morris Claiborne, who started 15 games, broke up eight passes, and grabbed one interception in 2017, and the Jets could face stiff competition for free-agent linebacker Demario Davis, who racked up 135 tackles and five sacks last year. Plus, kicker Chandler Catanzaro, who connected on 25 out of his 30 field goal attempts and didn’t miss an extra point, is sure to see some interest on the open market.

The Vikings have to make a move on Cousins. I though Keenum would be good enough but, not after the NFC Championship game. They need to go for now that they are set up.

The Jets need to stop the bleeding and getting Cousins should be a good start. Can't say I followed them last year. They surprised a lot of people. Get the Qb and keep building.

Cousins should be able to pick and choose at least a couple of places. Minnesota looks like a place he can have a good chance at a Super Bowl. Both these teams have the money to make the move.
