Go out? Are you saying you think he’s going to retire after this season?

Seems like your groin has been tight for quite some time.
I meant just going all out this season and finally using everything in his arsenal to destroy teams. This team is going to be exciting to watch.

I didn't say free agents. I said could possibly be gone.

Williams 2026 cap hit is almost $9M. That's the 5th highest on the entire team; and, he will be 33 years old.

If released, the Rams would save $7.5M against the cap. I have posted several times, I expect him to be cut.
Yeah, I expect them to add at least two CBs in the draft. One early, one late. Williams will be gone or will take a big paycut. Next year he has a $7M base salary and only a $500K roster. So maybe they cut his base pay down to $2M? If he has no suitors, maybe he stays under those circumstances. Otherwise time to get younger.

They can give his $7M in savings to Durant. Never thought much about extending him, but he is earning it. However, he is likley to get overpaid in FA. So unless they extend him now, he is probably gone.

Yeah, I misread that. You're right, he's definitely a possible cut.

The only pause I have to them cutting him is they already have five free agent DBs after this season. You cut him and that's six DBs they have to replace, which is a tall order.

If they extend Lake and/or Durant before the season ends, like they just did with Landman, then I can see him being cut. But if not, I'm not seeing it. Cuts happen before free agency; I don't think they'll enter free agency with only four DBs under contract.
 
Not sure what happened in Seattle, but Kendrick is giving up 2.8 yards per target and a 16.7 QB rating when targeted this year.
Yet he was let go......

40 time 4.75
HE gets beat a lot.
The worst part about Kendrick is taking dumb penalties too. I will never forget that game against San Francisco last year, where he almost got penalized for coming off the bench in street clothes. He better not compound his in ablilty to cover a bed by taking an additional 15 yards for some boneheaded mistake.
 
I don't think so.
Don't believe Witherspoon is quite back just yet.

He was only designated-to-return.
That opens a 21-day window for the Rams to activate him.
From everything I have read, and heard from McVay's press conferences, Witherspoon is still a couple weeks away from playing on Sunday.
I heard he was playing this week but ill look again.

Nope, you are absolutely correct. McVay said yesterday that he thinks Spoon will play Sunday.

Several posters corrected me ... I have been humbled and shamed.

I will deny myself vegetables today at Thanksgiving dinner, replacing them with more turkey and stuffing.

Didn’t he though? I thought he was flagged and fined for that. Maybe I’m misremembering though.

Edit: I guess he was fined - not flagged. The team itself was also fined 100k for that crap.

Yeah.. Kendrick is just depth that was available and knows the system. Hard to find a better fit this time of season.

Lucky they didn’t call a penalty because the 49ers would have been in FG range and a game cannot end on a defensive penalty. For as careful as the Rams are Kendrick is the antithesis of what they want to embody.
