Allen Robinson To Rams

[Loyal]

I guess the plan is to score more points than last year, as opposed to our defense making as many stops? Kupp-Woods-Robinson-OBJ-Jefferson-Higbeast......

 

[bwdenverram]

I dont think this necessarily means no OBJ. Reality is he's gonna miss most if not all of next year.
What this might mean is Woods becomes trade bait? IDK but this sure makes things interesting.

 

[El Chapo Jr]

My guess says that the Rams maybe are seeing that the defense will see a slight downgrade so why not upgrade this shit out of our offense just in case.

Geez now if Snead can get Hunter this will be another big splash season. This team will be completely reloaded.

We posted the same opinion at almost the same time. Great minds think alike lol

Excellent. When healthy this dude is a prob for defenses. Me likey.

Add Gilmore, Douglas, Bradbury or Wagner and we are cooking

IMO this probably means Woods is going to be released. Releasing Woods would clear the way cap wise for Robinson.

OBJ is injury prone and won't be able to play until November or December.

Robinson brings good length and speed, with a proven record of performance. This will insure the Rams are completely 3 deep at WR. Kupp, Jefferson and Robinson would be a deadly trio.

From a team perspective, I think doing that to Woods would really damage the culture. He is the emotional heart of that offense - you could see that during the playoffs. The moments between he and Coop were really special.

As soon as we lost Miller I thought this would be our route. Gotta believe Stafford is even better in his second year in the system. Give him the tools to score 40 a game.

5 receiver set and fuck punting. We won’t need one when we score on every drive

Or Van Jefferson might get moved for a decent pick. They may have observed that he has limitations and may try to get something for him now.

Wow, one thing is for sure with Snead... he will fucking blow your mind at least once every offseason. I would think this definitely means someone is gone at some point. Who's it going to be?

Kupp - duh not it
Woods - can save $10-13 million in cap with post 6/1 cut or trade respectively but is heart and soul of team
Jefferson - Can easily be traded or released on rookie contract. Is nice player but Robinson is the exact kind of receiver VJ has shown to not be which is physical. But still young and might get better.
Skowronek - 7th round special teams guy that's nice for extreme depth but no big loss if cut
Tutu - would be waste of a 2nd rounder but can't see them giving up on him yet.
Harris - oozes potential but that's all it is so far

OBJ - Isn't going to count much being injured most of the year so would be easy to keep around another playoff run or pass on.
Powell - special teams ace... would like to keep him because he was a stud doing that and no one else has come close for us in years.

Man, nothing like throwing a little more drama into the mix lol. Robinson is the exact kind of player Stafford thrives throwing to though. Physical receiver who'll attack the ball when Stafford lobs it up to him. That's something VJ has not been good at when given the chance.

They don’t think they can rely on Skowronek or Harris and a possible rookie TE. The SuperBowl window is still open for a few years and it is wayyyyy to risky to count on a seventh round receiver, a 4th round raw athlete and a rookie TE.

Oh and I forgot about TuTu, they likely did too….too.

Sources: Rams add WR Robinson, still eye OBJ

The Rams have agreed to to a three-year, $45 million contract with wide receiver Allen Robinson, a source told ESPN.

Still think it could be Van Jefferson. The Eagles have been trying to add a FA WR, but nobody wants to go there because of their QB and their cap situation still isn't great.

So I could see them being interested in a guy like Jefferson. Two yrs on a rookie deal and they have something like 11 picks this yr.

I see a good match there. Maybe a 4 & 6 for Jefferson or maybe a 3 for Jefferson and Rams send a 6th back?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I’ve always been a big fan of Robinson. A three star recruit that was almost an afterthought at PSU who excelled.

You have to love a guy that can make Christian Hackenburg look like a good college QB.

 

[RAMSinLA]

OBJ won't be ready to play until late next season...

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Something tells me it’s woods.

In the pre free agency article Jourdan wrote something about the Rams are hanging onto there plan of having Kupp, Woods, and OBJ on the offense all at the same time in 2022. So trading Woods was never the plan as some had assumed.

However Woods to Minnesota for Hunter makes some sense. Plans change.

Disagree. Culture of the Rams isn't kumbaya campfire songs. It's guys producing for the team. If you're not producing you're gone.

Woody produces so that's not the problem with him. Prob with him is he wanted to get paid and the Rams accommodated him but now are seeing him as a way to save cap space. Because he's good but not great. Valuable certainly. But not as a guy getting paid. Not on this roster.

So my hope is they find a trade partner for him. But I agree a cut will happen if not.

 

[dang]

I like Allen Robinson a lot, but completely unexpected.

Goodbye OBj? Robinson has always been a stud.

Perhaps Rams are sending Van Jefferson to Minnesota for Hunter?

Very interesting but Snead is a sneaky bastard that no one seems to be able to predict. I think he takes pride in that.

 

[Memento]

Holy shit, I did NOT see this coming. It’s an interesting move, but that means that Jefferson and/or Atwell are likely trade bait.
