I would prioritize Presley and Desjuan. Tutu is on a one year deal. He’s likely gone this winter. And while Xavier Smith has looked good this summer, he’s never translated that production in his limited regular season snaps. It’s difficult to tell what they have in X. So, by next summer Presley could possibly be pushing for serious playing time.
I think there will be a surprise cut/trade
That would be great if they could trade Curl, they have plenty at safety now and even a few more in the wings. That way you can keep Wallace & Green and I actually feel Wallace is better at safety than CB.
I hope so but for some reason the coaching staff seems to like Murchison ... Reeder-Lite.
I would 100% be against trading any of their top three safeties.
Hopefully Curl has a big season. But for me generally it seems money spent on the S position is wasted when these guys come out of the woodwork in each draft. You can overhaul that room in a year with mid to late picks and also find them among UDFAs.
Interesting perspective, just trying to figure out what Curl does well that another safety cannot do. Rams do not have safeties that cover well, that is where Wallace helps. Curl more of a strong safety and with the likes of with McCollough and Ingle, Rams seem to be in good shape there.
They're in good shape there because those young guys are good backups to a good strong safety in Curl.
I think its more positional in that Murch is more of a true 3-4 interior guy
That makes sense, hopefully, he has a great year. I am all for whatever makes the Rams better.
For me.. it's about the group. Being able to build on last year with that group working together is a big deal, imo. None of them are great in one-on-one coverage... but being able to go multiple looks to mess with a QB's eyes.. is a big thing. I believe the continuity and the experience with Curl out there, allows them to be more creative/exotic this year.
I guess I just don't get how cutting/trading a good starter to put unproven depth in the starting spot makes us better. He's a free agent after this year and getting rid of him isn't a huge cap savings.
Maybe but there is only a five pound weight difference per the Rams' team site (those stats can be wrong).
I'm hoping its more of they know what they have in Reeder so his evaluation is more so solely done during practices. I would love to get rid of that wart.
Again, I can't see the Rams trading key players unless it is for a player that fills a weakness. They are going for the trophy this year. Curl is a seasoned NFL safety. The younger guys will be around to take over next year when they will need the cap space. This team is peaking personnel wise. The last thing they will do is weaken it.
