What hole?

That’s what she said.

For the right price and contract length, give me Devante Adams. 85 for 1060+ and 8TDs last year with the Raiders and Jets. Seeing him with this offense, Stafford throwing him the ball, he could be the only piece needed to make this offense complete.

That allows the draft to become whatever they want. WR, TE, CB, LB whoever is on their board at 26 without reaching to fill holes.

Rams just saved 51 million cap space by trading Jackson to the Bears. Use that to keep Kupp.

Kupp is gone. They have said they are moving on.

Not that much. I think it’s closer to 34 million

How do you figure that?

I think its more like 5 mill

The Bears took his contract. I think this is what they are saying here. sorry 14.6 million my mistake.

14.6 million in cap space I made a mistake

My mistake its 14.6

Sportrac shows the Bears have a $17 million cap hit for Jonah in 2025 and 2026

14.6 million in cap space I made a mistake

Salary wasn’t guaranteed, only the bonus of 8 mill. And they ate 3 mill of dead cap

Question: I see groups out here saying Devante Adams will be "too much money."

Isn't his salary being paid out by the Raiders? So he would have no leverage, correct?

He was last with the Jets, Raiders took their lumps when they traded him.
He's a UFA when his release is official, can sign with anyone for whatever

Exactly.
Higgins being franchised is probably the best thing for the Rams. He’s terribly over rated and will get massively over paid. Glad it won’t be the Rams who will be doing it.

Thank you for saying this.

My thoughts exactly.

It's not that Higgins isn't a good player. It's just that he's not special , and not really a difference maker or a player who defences fear. He benefits from playing with Chase, much more than the reverse.

Conversely, the Rams avoided making a massive mistake in letting Tutu leave - as he is a hugely underrated player with elite separation ability, and homerun skills.

Tutu has been severely underutilized in LA, and has even been unfairly labelled by many fans and commentators to be a draft bust. I suspect that many of them don't watch the game that closely.
Some posters won't let go of the Creed Humphrey draft nonsense.

Whereas, Higgins - a player who by himself doesn't move the needle - will now cost the Bengals big bucks.

Like I said, WR is not a problem

If Tutu is so great then why was he only the fourth receiver last year? Why was he behind two players (Kupp, Robinson) that they aren’t resigning? And why was he only signed to a one year deal?

Drop the ‘People don’t watch the games’ BS. EVERYBODY on RoD watches the games closely. It’s fine if you have a different opinion about Tutu, but stop with the nonsense.

Maybe McSnead have realised that they under-utilised Tutu? That, plus salary implications, has led them to where we are.

After all, we all make mistakes. What’s important is if/how we learn from them.

Hole no more!
