So the Cowboys are pushing 15 million of Lawrence's salary into the next few years? That's like paying for a dead horse. I think the Rams front office is better than that, although Dallas must have a reason. Maybe Jerruh is gambling for a Super Bowl run. (lol... not with that team)

Sign Dak to the biggest qb contract would be my guess. Also Lawrence takes on a cap hit of $84 million the next three years.

Absolutely, the thing is this doesn't change the way or when and how the player gets paid. It's just how the Rams account for it on their books. It's all a gimmick.

That's good. When my nephew signed a minor league contract with the Brewers it was for low 6 figures signing bonus. He was 21 and it was a rude awakening when he deposited roughly 55 per cent. (He also got 40 grand in some kind of escrow account to finish his last year of school).

Was that taxes? I could understand that nit sure about them splitting payment of a bonus like that. Also congrats to your nephew!
 
I’d guess agent percentage would also be a factor involved too. Not sure how much but it’s got to be significant (5-10%?). Unless he negotiated without one.
 
But this cap space can be rolled over into next year creating more money to sign him to. That’s what I was trying to say, however poorly I worded it.
 
The takeaway lesson is that if a team gives up two first round picks for a guy who is still on his rookie contract, that team has pretty much signed a blank check to that player.

That right there is worth its weight in gold, especially for the development of young players like Jefferson.

Where Jalen Ramsey ranks among PFF’s best CBs this season

Jalen Ramsey has been a stud for the Rams this season.

Jalen Ramsey has yet to pick off a pass for the Rams this season, breaking up only two in three games. That’s primarily the result of him seeing very few targets in coverage, with quarterbacks only throwing 19 passes his way.

He’s allowed 11 completions for just 97 yards and a touchdown, allowing a stellar 5.1 yards per target – the best of his career so far, according to Pro Football Reference. He may have given up a score to Stefon Diggs in Week 3, but his overall performance in 2020 has been what the Rams hoped.

Pro Football Focus recently ranked the top 10 corners in the NFL through three games this season and Ramsey checked in at No. 7. Here’s what PFF wrote about the Rams’ star corner.
The Rams don’t play a whole lot of man coverage (21%, seventh-lowest rate through Week 2), but quarterbacks have been scared to throw Ramsey’s way when he’s in man-to-man. He has logged 20 coverage snaps on the outside in man and has yet to see a single target. Ramsey is at his best when the Rams are playing Cover 6, though. On those snaps, he has logged a 90.3 coverage grade, the second-best mark in the NFL.

Ramsey was typically a man-coverage cornerback with the Jaguars, but the Rams have gone zone heavy this season. He’s still thrived in that role, even if he’s not constantly matching up with No. 1 receivers in man coverage.

The Rams have to be thrilled with how he’s performed so far, even if he has yet to force a turnover. He’s had an impact on the field – both in practice and in games – and has grabbed hold of a leadership role in the Rams locker room.
