God damn this organization is becoming frustrating as fuck.. And now we have a new hole.

"And Wagner wants to win".. that's a shot to the fuckin dick. What a joke we're becoming after just a year removed from a SB win.

As good as he was last year a 12 million cap hit at ILB is pretty spooky for a team in our position. Seems like it works for both sides.

 

[KA210927]

Wow big loss!! I am sad but remember we have had our best years recently when we didn’t invest heavily at LB.

 

[RhodyRams]

comp pick?

Seems like Rams do better when they have JAG's at MLB and studs on the edge, rather than the other way around.

 

[AvengerRam]

Rams released LB Bobby Wagner.​

Wagner's release will free up at least $5 million in cap savings, potentially more if it's a post-June 1 designation. He was not quite the same player he was in Seattle, but it's hard to say that he's "declining" when he was a second-team All-Pro and finished with a 90.7 PFF grade while playing nearly all of the team's snaps. This was framed as a "mutual parting of ways" via Adam Schefter, so it's possible Wagner already has a new location in mind.

Seems like some frustration on his part?

Probably didn't want to play for Morris soft shit again. Haha.

 

[AvengerRam]

Seems like some bad blood?

Sounds like he wanted out. Kinda strange, but we can use the money.

 

[swmizzou83]

Hopefully we can use that money to sign an edge guy. I feel like last year the defense would have been better with an elite edge guy instead of an elite MLB. Hopefully Jones learned from Wagner and will take that next step

 

[RamsOfCastamere]

Maybe they asked him for a pay cut

 

[AvengerRam]

This shows, once again, just how little we know about what’s going on behind the scenes.

 

[Ram_Rally]

I'm sorry but I just don't see the upside in this move. It only saves up 5 million in cap space and eats 7 million in dead money.

Yep, that was a dick punch for sure. I may not be able to handle another 10 years of Rams bullshitery. So glad they got the ring last year.

 

[Riverumbbq]

WOW, wasn't expecting this, but I'm OK with it.

Jones & Hummel starting inside ?

Despite the fact that a lot of Ram fans (me included) aren't big fans of Morris, it seems like (through articles I have read and the 11 personnel podcast) the players really love playing for Morris. It’s probably just a situation where in Wagner feels like he may have a better shot at ring somewhere else before he retires.

 

[OldSchool]

comp pick?

Nope unless it was a mutual option type deal.

 

[OldSchool]

Gotta clear cap space. Also funny how many were hesitant at the signing and were calling him slow and washed early in the year and now people are upset about this. With the way the contract was done this looked like the first target to clear cap space honestly.

 

[ottoman89]

WOW, wasn't expecting this, but I'm OK with it.

Na. Hummel ain't it. Draft Jack Campbell out of Iowa.
