The personnel to-do list for 2022 is pretty short now.

[AvengerRam]

Here's my priority list:

1. Extend Cooper Kupp. He deserves a raise, and I'd like to have him locked in until 2025-26.

2. Re-sign OBJ. Structure will be tricky, but I want him to be a Ram for the next 2-3 seasons, if feasible.

3. Restructure/extend worthy 2023 FAs-to-be: the guys I'd be looking at first are Rob Havenstein and A'Shawn Robinson. Could potentially clear some short-term cap space while getting them locked in through 2025 (these moves could actually be necessary to clear space for OBJ).

4. Consider veteran market: we're likely talking about a 1 year deal with a veteran pass rusher.

5. Give some thought to Taylor Rapp. Most shocking stat of 2021: the Rams' snap count leader was Taylor Rapp. As he enters the final year of his contract, I wonder, though, if he is going to play a similar role in 2022. If he isn't, is there an argument for looking for a trade partner?

I think they sign obj to a one year deal. If they even sign him at all

One thing is for sure. OBJ wants to stay a Ram and McVay wants him to stay a Ram.

It depends, in part, on when they realistically think he can return. If we're talking November, that's a half season at best. Hard to structure that. It might be better to give him a small salary for 2022, a raise for 2023 (and maybe 2024), and a signing bonus spread out over the 2-3 years.

If we ever see a healthy WR trio of Robinson, OBJ and Kupp, with Stafford throwing to them.....

Good grief

That could be the answer. I guess the biggest hurdle is whether obj and the Rams can come to an agreement that works for everyone. I too hope it gets done.

Hey! Don't forget about Tutu! I guess you didn't see his hands waving at you trying to get your attention.

Tutu is the one to the right

I think one of the primary goals of this camp is an alignment of the safety depth chart. That unit has not been strong since they let JJ walk. They need to find their pairing for Cover 2/4/6 and then get all the roles sorted for sub groups around whoever the corners will be. Raheem has his work cut out for sure. By far the biggest movement area on the roster for the 2022 season.

I think we have the guys for the roles.

But I agree with you that we need to find the right guys for the right roles amongst the safeties on the roster.
