You might be right. I thought he was expected to get close to $20m/yr contract, but, according to Spotrac, his expected salary is only about 13.5m. Would be a great signing at that number for anyone. Texans, however, can pay more with their cap room.He was but franchise tag him? That's a bit excessive.
I watched a lot of Charger football last season. Kalil Mack is a netorious slacker, he takes plays off, doesn't hustle most of the time. He's become a lazy player.
Big "No Thanks".
Well he's played with the Raiders and then the under-achieving Chargers. Playing for a contender might motivate him.I watched a lot of Charger football last season. Kalil Mack is a netorious slacker, he takes plays off, doesn't hustle most of the time. He's become a lazy player.

He really is. The dude is a 86.8 PFF score rusher, 48.0 Run defense and had all of 10 tackles last year, which, ironically are all from the 10 sacksHuff is a pure pass rusher; he’s next to useless against the run.
I would rather save our money and trade down a few spots for Chop Robinson if that is all we want. It’d be cheaper and we’d even get another draft pick or two thrown in.
The Hunter price & age have me realizing it’s probably not gonna happen.I like Greenard as do it all starter who can get the Donald bump and who can be subbed on passing downs.
Can't imagine we're gonna be able to afford Hunter.
Yeah, there's no great answer for our edge woes in FA. Maybe Mack for 2 years. But we need him to get cut, don't love spending picks on him with that contract.The Hunter price & age have me realizing it’s probably not gonna happen.
Huff is young and is VERY good at getting to the QB. I’m good with the holes in his game. Like I said, he can sit on 1st down.Yeah, there's no great answer for our edge woes in FA. Maybe Mack for 2 years.
I don't love Huff because I think you can game plan against him more because of those holes and I probably won't like what we'll have to pay for his incomplete package on the open market.Huff is young and is VERY good at getting to the QB.

I’m just not a huge fan of trading unless it’s a true difference-maker or just excellent value opportunity.I don't love Huff because I think you can game plan against him more because of those holes and I probably won't like what we'll have to pay for his incomplete package on the open market.
I'd rather explore trading for the Eagles edge rushers.
Other than Hunter, I think the FA at pass rush will take a while to shake out, no one's getting a ton of money thrown at them right away in this class, so I think the Rams will have time to sus things out.
I'd trade for Reddick in a sec but think he wants a contract we won't give him. I think he had a down year in a bad situation last year but he was a top 5 rusher in 2022. I dunno, maybe the wheels feel off.I’m just not a huge fan of trading unless it’s a true difference-maker or just excellent value opportunity.
And.. who knows? Maybe Huff can improve.
The Rams gotta find a lot of starters this offseason. Again some thru FA, some thru Draft and the rest thru promotion.Yeah, there's no great answer for our edge woes in FA. Maybe Mack for 2 years. But we need him to get cut, don't love spending picks on him with that contract.
I like Young but there's an outside scenario where we pick up a starter in FA and get Verse or Laitu in the draft and he becomes a third rusher and I wouldn't cry about that.The Rams gotta find a lot of starters this offseason. Again some thru FA, some thru Draft and the rest thru promotion.
I count 4 positions on defense that are already locked in: DT/Donald, NT/Turner-Brown, ILB/EJIII, Edge/BYoung. All remaining positions TBD.
Things are much more settled on offense with 7: QB/Stafford, RB/KWill, WR1/Kupp, WR2/Nacua, LG/Avilla, RG/Dotson, RT/Hav.
And we need another GD Kicker.
I could see that as well. Rams can’t fuck around with Edge this year so they must find a known commodity via FA and augment the position from the draft accordingly.I like Young but there's an outside scenario where we pick up a starter in FA and get Verse or Laitu in the draft and he becomes a third rusher and I wouldn't cry about that.
