Jalen Ramsey traded to Pittsburgh

Even the best reporters play connect the dots - especially when they know no one is going to officially refute their story. A reporter really has nothing to lose on these kinds of stories. But if they are repeatedly cited by others in media, they are getting clicks and looks. That’s primarily how they are making their money these days.

The Rams are not going to reveal any of the negotiations and neither were the Steelers or the phins. Breer could have easily heard the Rams gave Miami a call as soon as the word that Ramsey wanted out hit the presses. I’m sure the Rams did call them at that point or maybe Miami contacted Les as soon as Ramsey made his position known.

Did they go much deeper into negotiations than that? Who knows. But from what our organization was saying, it didn’t look like they were taking it all that seriously - probably from sticker shock and realizing they were not going to go anywhere near where other teams might.

Ramsey has made it clear that he loved his time with the Rams. The Rams are known for the “all in” narrative. Les is known for making bold moves. The league knows Les is not afraid to pick up the phone and test the waters. The entire media and most of the fan base consider our CB room to be a glaring weakness. Connect the dots.

I tend to belief Breer has solid sources. He’s one of the better reporters imo. I don’t think he risks the reputation that took years to build by simply connecting the dots, and reporting things as factual. That’s more a tactic for people trying to get lucky.

Either way it doesn’t matter. If you choose to think Breer is faking his reports, it’s no skin off my back.

I'd like to know what the Rams were offering. Maybe it'll eventually come out.

Breer, like any other good reporter, quotes sources. I don't think that he's faking anything, as all he has said is, the Rams were the only other team 'interested'.

He wouldn't lose any credibility if it became known, they only offered a 6th round pick and wanted Miami to pay some cash. That qualifies as 'interested'.

Like I said hopefully we'll eventually find out to what degree.

Please don't. I stated my opinion....... Once........ and I am not a paint sprayer

It's just that you stated an opinion with 100% certainty and that is just begging for an argument.

Now if you had said that Ramsey probably would have been beaten whether AD got to Burrow or not, then I would have zero problem with your statement. It's your opinion and you could be right. I just have a different opinion and I could be right.

Don't know and don't really care any more about that - it's just the 100% certainty statement that I have a beef with.

Cheers
