I am not and have never disagreed with that statement haha
My whole point was at what cost
If they keep signing for the minimum sure why not.

That's fair. Given that they're all RFAs, I can't see them signing for huge amounts.

Can someone please confirm that Robert Woods is signed through 2022 (2 more seasons)? I am a Huge fan of Robert Woods (Ultimate Team Player!) and I am keeping my fingers crossed (Although, That is a Long Time For My Fingers To Stay Crossed!) that the Rams and Woods can come to an agreement within the next two years that will keep him a Ram for many more seasons!
But you're also talking about Williams having played well and he's our #3 or #4 CB, that brings attention to a cheap free agent.

Thanks for the Confirmation! So, The Rams have Woods for at least 2 more Seasons (Unless, They trade him!) and hopefully for several more!

One of the reasons I see as Floyd not being a one and done deal is how they structured his contract this year. In order to fit it into the cap, they actually pushed $3.3M of it into next year. Why would you create dead cap for a guy who isn't going to be extended? Why would a player accept a contract structured like that? What this shows is that both parties understand that there will be a second contract. Understand that Floyd signed in the last week of April in the midst of the pandemic when there was and still is a great deal of uncertainty on the 2021 cap. The way this is structured is in many ways no different than what was done with Ramsey and Kupp. The implications are clear that the dead cap amount will be built into the next contract.
This is why IMO it's clear that Floyd is next on their priority list. It's also clear by implication that Ebukam, Johnson and Everett probably won't be extended as there is no way I can see them giving all 3 market value contracts. Of the 3 the smallest extension is likely to be Ebukam's and therefore much easier to structure to fit under their remaining cap space. The market for safety and TE has exploded and Snead has IMO correctly anticipated this. That accounts for the drafting of Burgess and Hopkins so the replacements are already on the team with one year's experience. Hollins was signed with 3 years on his rookie deal which the Rams picked up since he was signed off the waiver wire. He is in no means an experienced SAM LB but he has all the traits you look for in the position, i.e. size, speed, and positional versatility. So I feel he's the Ram's insurance should they not be able to extend Ebukam.
This stands in stark contrast to how teams like the Saints handled their draft and extension of Kamara. The Saints knew Kamara needed to be extended or released. They had a first round pick and multiple 3rd round picks yet they didn't take a RB.

Woods is a free agent in 2022. He is signed through 2021. He does have this year and next year remaining as a Ram on his current contract.

Well he’s not signed thru 2022, hes only signed thru 2021.
But yes, that is 2 more seasons
Yes and no, this is technically the 2020/21 season and next year is the 2021/22 season (start and finish) he's on the team for 2 more years this year and next year.
I think some of the signings are wait and see.
Easier to illuminate ones that will most likely be not resigned because they have players to take over.

Everett

Floyd signed a weird deal where the Rams prorated his singing bonus over three years even though he only has a contract for one year. Makes me wonder.
I think the Rams have to see how players play before they resign them. Blythe, Ebu and Floyd could go either way depending on play and market value.
If they let Hill go then Williams would be a target resign.
Mundt shouldn't cost too much and should have a limited market.
Woods is a possibility.

It was Fowler who hit Brees to force the interception that JJ caught. Or are you referring to another play?
I don't see Ebukam as a must sign. He has made plays at times but overall he is a liability in my book. My biggest problem is his inability to breakdown in pursuit. He consistently misses tackles because of it. Don't get me wrong I think they guy is an excellent person and a decent backup, but by no means is he an impact or irreplaceable player in my book. I don't think Ebukam can cover TE's or RB's at all. He's basically a quick burst, high motor guy that lacks instincts and shedding ability.
Floyd has been an epic bust thus far. I hope he turns it around for us but realistically, talking about an extension for someone that has been lacking in sacks when that is what he was drafted for is crazy talk. That is why he is on a one year show me contract. Because he hasn't done anything to warrant a big contract and we were in desperation mode with cap constraints and the departure of our starting outside pass rushers.
