No, he's not.
That’s sort of what I thought.Wouldn’t be worth what The Jags will want & have to pay him what he will be worth.

Bosa is overrated compared to him. Looking forward to B.Young.

The Rams got lucky there.Went to training camp & we (GF) were right a long the fence 5 plus yards from him.She was in away of how well he is put together & his tights.Pound for these players are in such great shape.I think he added weight during the season & after 1 year in The NFL is of such Excellent value.

Why would we be talking about trading for a starting QB :)

I was wondering the same.I googled it just to check.Thought I was wrong,but then I was like wasn’t there another Josh Allen from The Vikings as well ? Then I’m like who was that DE (JK Bogen) that went to Houston.Then there OLB/DE who won rookie of the year.

Josh Allen only had 1 tackle against Josh Allen of the Bills,but the Jags won ? 3 tackles in a 34-3 loss to the 9ers. He isn’t that good against the Run.

Hossen Reddick is quick off the Edge & a player The Rams could get easier & maybe even for less money . Who knows ??

L. Latu might be worth moving up giving up a 2nd rd pick in 2025 ? That 5th year to him would be nice.

Yeah pretty surprising with the talk was he wanted to be the top paid CB. Looking at it $19M aav isn't even top 5. Though that is the most guaranteed which probably was what he wanted.

My question would be what position is more Valuable ?
CB or OLB/DE ?

I know The Rams did there homework last season & wanted to move up into The FIRST RD. !!

Now that they are in The 1st RD. What would it be worth to get that Player The Rams want ??

I’m a Draftnik(know u are in A way) & think of what I’d do as a Rams GM as well as a couple players I’d circle as Can’t miss & Value. Each draft is it’s own.

I’m looking at L. Latu & want to get ahead of The SeaHags. Thought the Vikings would make a good trade partner ? The value chart would probably say other wise.

Maybe waiting for Chop Robinson might be alright & see what else falls into The Rams lap ? The Top CB in The 2023 could find it’s way in to the 19 spot depending on how The Rams have that position graded.

Les Snead already talked about saving cap space & draft value come The NFL trade dead line using the 9ers & Rams trades in the past.

Well Snead agreed to a contract for less then I expected, not a cheap deal but not the highest either. I'd have been all for that trade and deal TBH.

I'm never a fan of a player who wants to leave his team for big money who has a knee issue, and the team is all for him leaving. How often do these guys ever come close to being worth it?

Will Levi’s ain’t it
I liked him coming out and I liked his rookie showing too. He's got a good talent level for the position, good size, and he is a known hard worker. So to me there is no reason to think he will fail in the NFL. But we'll see.

Only real knock on the guy I can see is he's fuckin weird. But that doesn't really stop a guy from being good, as teammates will overlook that shit if you can play.

Bingo. This is the Kansas City Chiefs. A culture of winning and excellence. A very well run franchise. Very similar to the Rams in these aspects. If they are happy to move on, that is a red flag. This is not the same situation as Jalen Ramsey and the Jags. Not nearly the same talent level either in my book.

Snead is an outstanding CB, but KC cannot pay everybody. They chose Chris Jones over Snead, which is understandable.

Well, look at it this way, the Rams have 8 top 100 picks over the next 2 drafts, maybe more with a trade down or two. So I feel confident that the Rams can bolster their secondary without adding another significant contract that will hamper their cap and their ability to spread out dollars over multiple positions.

The Chiefs must feel the same way.
Absolutely, what's crazy is the CB position was crazy deep for KC last year. Jaylen Watson and Joshua Williams are good CB's and they had to split reps due McDuffie and Sneed manning the other two spots in the nickel. So the new starters are on the team and Veach is looking before bargains to groom. (McDuffie, Watson, and Williams are all on rookie contracts. Bryan Cook (S) and C. Connor (S.) as well.
Rumor is his knee scared some teams off.
That certainly did play a factor.
maybe the chiefs feel that way maybe they couldn't afford another big deal. the daft is always going to be a crapshoot but I know Sneed can be a shut down corner. I'm hoping the Rams plan works out and they can keep getting better.
It really does feel like a salary dump as another ROD member put it. What's confusing is the Chiefs recently said they were ok with Sneed playing on the tag and I guess Sneed was too. Then they traded him for peanuts a few days later. (Stuff like that makes me sick. Chiefs Kingdom loves Sneed but the teams in trade talks obviously felt very different.)

In conclusion this trade was hyped for weeks. To see this result hurts a lot. Some are viewing it from a practical standpoint (his salary, the knee, 27 years old, etc.) Most are mad we didn't keep and go all in for this season. (Rams know something about that lol.)

But yeah, losing Sneed for that little comp really hurts.

I might have missed it, but any update on Whites visit with the Rams? Did that happen?

It happened, and then he was off to the next couple of places. Still in play, but we haven't signed him yet.

I read that the Vikings have had several visits with Bo Nix. Then today the Giants owner said he endorses drafting a QB.

Could the Vikings really be enamored with Nix as their guy? Did they trade for another first to ensure they can reach him?
