From what I have seen at camp and now thru 4 preseason games, given Westbrooks ability to play inside, I think a case can be made that he is one of the 4 best DTs on the roster.
Carrington and Conrath both have been outplayed. So it wouldn't shock me one bit to see both Sam and Westbrooks being considered part of the 9 best guys at this point.
Keep Sam as the 5th DE and Westbrooks as the 4th DT.
I'd be surprised if there was a market for him or Conrath. Neither has shown anything special this year IMO. On the upside if we got any kind of draft pick for him it'd be a win in my book.Trade Carrington to the Cowboys.
Conrath for sure. Have you been reading about which players the Cowgirls have been kicking the tires on? They appear to be pretty desperate.Ky Ram with his observations:

Plain and simple, Westbrooks will not be released.I know it was just preseason and Sam & Westbrooks probably faced a lot of opponents 2nd (And, maybe even 3rd) team offensive linemen but it sure seemed to me that they both played very well and very possibly secured spots on the Rams final roster (At least I hope so!)!
Trade Sam to Dallas . . . makes some sense. Rams think Sam was worth a middle round pick that they were lucky enough to get in the 7th . . . if they could turn that to a 5,and get him to a 4-3 team, it's a win-win. Turn a 7 to a 5 next year.Heck, Skins could use to positive pub and a backip 3-4 rusher to backup Karrington and Orakpo. Getting the first openly gay player may calm the storm: Sam for COusins.Trade Carrington to the Cowboys.
I have a couple of problems with that.Blue and Gold with his option:

I did notice that. It seemed as if he was the "marked man" on the DL for most of the night.PS - did anyone notice how much they doubled Westbrooks last night?
Against Cleveland last week, the OL help was shifting to Westrbooks on the B gap rather the more common A gap guy.
He's got a reputation already.
Y'but in a three four where your going to blitz both A gaps or stunt alla J Smith and Aldon Smith he could stand up.I have a couple of problems with that.
First of all, Carrington is making about $1.5 Million and Sam is making $0.42 million and we need the CAP space.
Second of all, I think Sam is a better player right now and will, long term, be a much better player.
Bonus:
Third of all, Sam has shown zero ability to play LB and he's too small to play on the line in a 3-4 defensive scheme IMO.
That's an option for a 3-4 team whose only problem on the D-line is getting pressure on the QB. The Cowgirl defensive line can't stop the run or the pass. I'm not sure that Carrington, at his current level of play, would be a good option but he'd probably be better than what they have now.Thordaddy with only part of the story:
