This.Come on. We're not getting a 2nd rounder for Langford. That's nuts. My guess at the best offer we'll get...a 5th or 6th rounder.
A lot of you guys are good with cutting Langford this off-season. He's not worth a 2nd.
This.
No way in hell he's worth close to a 2nd. At best you are looking at a 4th, probably a 5th maybe 6th. If he didn't have another year you'd look at a 6th at best. I think having Langford through next year is better than a potential special teamer or something.
If you can get a 3rd for Langford you do it without even blinking.
Some of you guys wanna keep a rotational player in a season going down the tubes....with the risk of losing him for nothing in return....are you serious?
Hell, I'd include Carrington too if they'd make it a 2nd and we could get McKinney in the draft.....
I'd keep Langford. He's a quality rotational player. Carrington, not so much.
Here's the thing. We're gonna have a boatload of cap dollars from the release of Bradford, Wells, and J Long, alone. We won't need cap dollars. We'll need healthy young players that are known quantities that are affordable and good teammates (like Langford).
To me it depends if you believe the Rams can be a playoff team next year. Young team, so, I would not move him. Like I posted somewhere else if the Rams continue to play this badly might as well blow it up....except they are so young there is not much to blow up. Jake Long, Bradford, Langford....Your so right den. It's not like Brockers has not had lower nagging leg injury issues his first three seasons!
I would think that another element would come into thought too if considering a trade like this ....the Rams standings here just about @ the half way of the season.. Out of the 16 NFC teams the Rams would look up & see 11 teams ahead of them. Rams are also bottom dwellers in the western division. Rams also lost to the NFC bottom dwellers Vikings. So that's one heck of a road to travel to get to one of those playoff spots.
If your thinking you do not need your top 3rd DT and that only back up to Brockers for a non playoff season then you might make that trade. I am not there.
After today, it seems obvious that we have much bigger holes at numerous other positions.
Shouldn't our limited draft picks and future FA cap dollars be devoted to THOSE areas?
