Miami isnt going to release him. There are teams interested, its likely Miami weighing option of paying out additional salary vs quality of pick/trade value.
Exactly. They had just gone 5-12 and looked like a total rebuild was in order.
'22 was a disaster and the Rams went in to '23 seemingly preparing for a set back. They were shedding salary left and right. Allegedly trying to reset the cap because it was expected to see a big salary cap increase in 24. Surprisingly cut Wagner, let go of Leonard Floyd, let Gay walk as they did with Gaines, Rapp and A'Shawn. Ramsey was part of that salary re-set. Didnt even entertain trying to keep Mayfield. But sure enough the Rams outperformed all expectations after a slow start, McVay got his mojo back
Why keep Mayfield? They had Stafford. They also had Kupp, and AD. Since they knew they weren’t going to contend for a Super Bowl and just dealt with a slew of injuries, it didn’t make sense to keep vets like Wagner. They needed to get younger and healthier.
Rebuild, reset, tomato, tomahto
they new somebody was going to sign mayfield as a starter
Oh, I thought you were saying they wanted to get rid of him.
Not at all, I've been in total agreement with you on this. McVay is always class when talking about former players but Ramsey is the one guy I feel he really didnt want to let go
It's one thing for a coach to say complimentary comments about former players. Ramsey is on record gushing over his time with the Rams and his relationship with McVay.
We don't have a fourth next year. I would imagine it would be something like a fifth each of the next two years (which could go up as high as a 3rd if Miami picked up a significant part of the salary).
Thanks I was being facetious. (joking around). Who says it can't be a 2026 4th???????????????????????
Demoff and Snead have said the same things multiple times. They didn't sour on Ramsey. It was time to pay the credit card bill after going all in.Yes. That is what McVay SAID.
