Sorry, no link, but read an article that speculated that the Rams could pick up Charvarius Ward off the whiners since he is an UFA. I hate the whiners but if the dude can shore up the back end at one corner, I'd be interested in looking into it.

If we end up pairing Puka Nacua with one of :

Diggs
Slayton
Hollywood Brown

Would you be optimistic? Feeling like Higgins and Godwin are unlikely now.
Not really.. I don’t think any of them move the needle and I’d hate to see the Rams sign someone for the sake of signing someone……and at a big cost.

They seem like they'd be short term, cost effective options. I don't think we can go into the season with Puka, Whittington, and 4 rookies. Unfortunately it looks like the top of the receiving group is going to dry up quickly.

The Rams will bring back Demarcus for sure. Even with a 1-2 game suspension.
I expect they’ll add a couple in the draft.

Dang, with Higgins tagged, Godwins price just went up. That's my dream Kupp replacement.

I hope so but I'm starting to get a bad feeling. Sometimes they make head scratching decisions.
The most head scratching decision last year was letting Reeder start the first 5 games last year.

It was clear he and Rozeboom were the weak links but they kept throwing that shit against the wall hoping it would stick.

It wasn't until Reeder got hurt last year that I had hope that the Rams would start winning games again.

I'm thinking 2 things here. One he's not worth the tag it's a bad idea to make him a top 5 paid LT. He's good but not there.

Two like you later said I think they're working on a deal and it will be signed soon.
What level is a transition tag? Top 10? I really don't know.

Transition tag is top 10 or a 20% raise whichever is greater. It also comes with the right to match sm offer but no draft compensation if the team doesn't.

Would you do Transition tag? That doesn't seem like a huge price increase for one year.

Diggs I'd be ok with as long as the price tag isn't high. Not necessarily my 1st, 2nd, or maybe even 3rd pick but who knows what the Rams will do. All I know is they won't stand pat.
I prefer the Rams draft their weapons. Though Diggs is interesting because the Rams have not shown a good eye for the X role in the draft, so he'd upgrade them there and as far as weapons in the draft are concerned slot would remain the top need and there are good options for them to choose from in just about every round, certainly the first three or four.

I suppose as long as he's not too pricey he'd be fine as an addition and he'd add speed outside the hash. I don't like his age nor his diva nature but a short term deal to try to make sure 9's got the weapons he needs sounds good to me.

Possibly, I'd have to look at the numbers, but if they want him I'd rather they get him signed now though that's unlikely. His agent will push to test the free agent market unless the Rams wow him with an offer IMO.
