I would like to understand what the Rams plans are if they are moving on from Puka.

IMO, it would be a mistake. It’s rare to find a player like Nacua plus as a WR. There is no one else on the team or in the draft that would provide ample production. And I better not hear that they will recreate him in the aggregate.

I'm with ya den. Sign Puka, figure out the rest later. Still think they do.
 
Cowpasture going for shock value.

1. Thinks Rams are done with Nacua
2. Thinks Stafford retires, Ty is QB in '27
3. Swears McVay is returning and staying, not going booth.

Discuss.

1. Puka certainly didn't do himself any favours with his off-field antics and his injury issues are concerning but there is zero question about his on-field abilities. I wish he was a sure thing, but re-signing him for huge money is a huge gamble. I'd lean towards they will try to get him signed to a long-term deal not only because of his top notch abilities but because every other receiver on the team is below average.

2. I'd bet Stafford retires. Age seems to have caught up to him all at once this year.

3. Not enough information yet. Gut feeling he's gone, but who knows.

It's just a "hot take" by Cowherd to get clicks/views. McVay is not letting Puka walk out that door while he's still in his prime.

OTOH, I think the Stafford speculation has merit.
 
2 outta 3 ?
I only see #3 as being accurate.
I guess that Staff COULD be a 50/50 shot.
I was not commenting on Cowherd's three predictions.

I have long considered Colin Cowherd to be a useless piece-of-shit.

Just making a joke and using the Bat Out of Hell album ... came-out when I was in high school ... big fan.
 
I don’t think Stafford is gonna retire. Maybe he does if we win the whole thing. But even then….I still think there’s a good chance he comes back. I dont think the ups and downs in his play this year have anything to do with age. He can still make every throw on the field.

I’m on record that I think McVay leaves when Stafford does, but even if McVay sticks around, I have a hard time seeing Ty Simpson go from emergency QB to starter. I could totally see them taking a flyer on Herbert or Cousins if they were available.
 
Cowherd makes a living off clicks and wild takes. Sometimes he's right, but I dont think he has any information we fans dont have access to. If the Rams dont resign Puka, he will bring it up every week to let everyone know how smart he is, if they do resign Puka, he might admit he was wrong, but I doubt it.

As far as Stafford I dont think Stafford knows if he is returning or not. But if AD returns for 27 I wouldnt be surprised if Stafford returns also.

And I dont see McVay leaving coaching any time soon. Some of that may be wishful thinking, but I think he honestly loves the relationships with the players and the challenge of bringing it all together to continue winning.
 
The thing I like about Colin Cowherd is that he seems to like the Rams. As far as the future of Puka, Stafford, and McVay, nothing would surprise me.
