Hell. Fucking. No. Not only is he not effective, but he's a proven woman beater. No fucking thank you, I will stick with dealing a third, a conditional fourth (turns into a third if he re-signs with us) for Chase Young.
Sorry, didn't realize the personal issues he's had. Just put that out there since Denver is apparently selling. Also doubt Washington is gonna trade Chase Young at this moment. I think that's a pipe dream since they still have a shot at the playoffs. If they nose dive, we may have a shot.

That sounds like we are standing pat. Sucks but gotta respect them holding the line if we do as far as 2024 being the year we really reload with our newfound cap space.
We need some tingling, ya bastid!

Was that reply in English? What the fuck is he saying?

He's saying we're not likely to be active. I am interpreting it as him saying we don't have the cap space and aren't going all in for a ring this year.

We can stand pat but there is 1 glaring hole that should be addressed if possible OLB - Hoecht is a mess and if we have any aspirations of making the playoffs especially if we win the next 3 games and we go into the deadline at 5-3 with the easier part of the schedule coming up. I think there will be mutiny on the boards. I will say I won't be happy.

I want an edge presence as well. Gotta imagine we may be bargain bin hunting there if the FO sticks to their current spending plan.

Looking at the 100 top free agents. Possible there are guys who would fill a spot for the year. Akiem Hicks would be a big body to fill the middle for a while.

Not that he's a solution. Just throwing it at the wall like my boy @Loyal

I think I figured out, having been a pimped out consultant once... it depends a good deal on the state of your residence and the rates involved.

For instance, if your state of residence has say, a 10% income tax and you play in say, Seattle or Florida (no income tax), then I believe that you owe your state of residence the entire 10% tax for that game/job, etc..

If the state you work in has an income tax, then they get the rights to that income tax - with qualifications. If your state of residence has a higher income tax rate than the one you are working in, then you owe the difference between the (lower rate) working state and the (higher rate) residence state, to the residence state. If the working state tax rate is higher than the residence state, then you owe it all to the working state for that income period.
You actually pay the taxes you work in as an NFL player because it’s not a normal W2 job. At least if you have a competent Accountant do your taxes which I hope these guys are doing.

Which I assume (not 100%) it’s the state you reside in for signing, contract bonuses etc.

I'm surprised Nick Hampton has been such a nonfactor. I thought he'd play more into our defensive plans on passing downs. He's undersized, but he's very athletic.

Try him inside, he can hardly be worse than Rozeboom.

You read my mind. Sounds like he’s trying to say something clever then loses himself in his babble and tries to clean slate it and start over.

Honestly I get them holding the line but also am not a fan of it. Wasting a year of Stafford coop and especially AD is not smart. We all know and have seen how one fluke play changes and entire season good or bad. You can't just say we are going all in next year etc then someone from the core tears a knee or Achilles etc. and next season is lost. I hate that mentality. Stafford could be healthy this year we go out spend a bunch next year knee blown out or kupp or any of them. Just not feeling it if that's indeed the plan. Like the jets that went up in smoke pretty quick didn't it?

Sean McVay doesn’t see the Rams adding players in trades​

The Rams traded wide receiver Van Jefferson to the Falcons this week and they dealt running back Cam Akers to the Vikings earlier in the season, but they’ve been more associated with the other side of in-season deals for most of head coach Sean McVay’s tenure with the team.

McVay does not expect to find the Rams on that side of things leading up to the October 31 trade deadline. The Rams brought in a slew of rookies as they remade their roster this offseason and McVay’s response to a question about the Rams being buyers suggests they will be remaining on that path.

“No, we don’t really have the availability,” McVay said, via a transcript from the team. “I don’t know — you kind of have to have some resources and different things like that for those to be options, So I don’t know that those conversations will be as prevalent as maybe in years past.”

The Rams own their 2024 first-round pick, which would be the first they’ve made since 2016, along with most of their other picks. At 2-3, there’s little reason for the Rams to think that there’s a deal involving them that will make a big enough difference to their fate to pull the trigger.

There are no trades that will make us a Superbowl contender this year. It should be all about developing the young guys in order to build a championship roster over the next couple years. If we make the playoffs with that, then its a bonus. The only downside would be no high first round pick. But I'd take that if we make the playoffs.

I don't think it hurts to kick the tires but we'll see what happens.

It’s not always about this year. A Burns or a Claypool is not a one year rental type of transaction (like Miller was). That’s about solidifying the edge for years. Either one of those paired with young would give Oline fits, add in Donald and they’d have nightmares
