Young legs? You seen the d-backs the Rams have drafted lately? Good lord. Rams paid 20 mill in dead cap to replace him with a 3rd round pick. I get it that you have bias against the player but this is a tragically awful trade
The Dolphins have guaranteed the last two years on his deal which were not previously guaranteed. I'd imagine the number of teams willing to do that was pretty small.
WTF is Hunter Long???
... they could have tosssed my name in there, for all it matters!
I'm number 70.... Oh, nevermind, thats not the jersey# !!!!
3 targets and 1 reception in two years. Apparently a stealth TE.

I'm not a big college football watcher but I remember people liking Hunter Long out of the draft and tight ends do often take a while to get there.
They better be paying his whole damn salary. That's the ONLY way I can see 1% of this justifying.
Yea really.. this board is more depressing than the actual trade.
You were right, might be time to look for a new GM.

Stolen from Kenneth Arthur on TsT, dont know how accurate it is:
"The Rams owe him his prorated bonus amounts for 2023, 2024, and 2025, which is added up each year. So that's $8.2 million in 2023, $8.2 in 2024, and $3.2 in 2025=$19.6 million in dead money for 2023, $11.4 million in 2024, and $3.2 million in 2025. It's money they've already paid him, but it's standard dead money spread out over the life of the contract. There should be about $5 million in open cap space for 2023, but $15.3 million in open cap space now for 2024."
Can we at least give our new player the respect of his actual fucking name in the thread title?
Sheesh.
Sheesh.

Awful trade return. Ramsey is easily a top 5 CB.
It certainly looks like Brad Holmes was the brains of this operation. Just jook at the trajectory of the Rams vs. the Lions right now, as well as the trades, free agency signings, and draft selections of the two franchise since Holmes left. Night and day.
The Rams are clearly heading for the basement of the NFL this season. They are burning it to the ground, trading big assets for pennies of the dollar, and cutting talented players to save almost no cap dollars when waiting just 1 more season would see that reverse. It will be sold as a quick re-build. "We need the cap space". "We need the draft capital". "We need to re-tool". And in the NFL, franchises can certainly turn things around on a dime. But my fear is, once back in the basement, the Rams will prove completely incapable of climbing out of it, now that Brad Holmes is in Detroit.

They are admitting mistakes? Jourdan has said that offloading players like Ramsey was always a part of the plan.

Ramsey is paid fairly for a top 5 CB, which is also a must-have position in today's NFL. The cap hell that the Rams are in is due to other moves. Not Jalen's contract.
