Trade Deadline Rumors and Trades

[Kupped]

Understood , but lets be honest-the Rams prioritize blocking from their feature backs more than any other team in the NFL. Maybe the RBs don’t appreciate the wear and tear on their bodies. After all, you aren’t going to get a big contract getting 12-15 carries a game.

And McVay doesn’t seem to have the best history getting along with our RBs so maybe that’s it.

I don't see it.

Isn't Swift injured ?
Anyway, Jamal Williams is entering free agency following the season and so is Craig Reynolds. If the Rams can move Akers and get a draft pick out of it, the Brad Holmes connection might help. jmo.

Swift is fine, he'll play after the bye. I think the idea that anyone would trade for Akers is ludicrous, and certainly a team that has a million needs where RB isnt one of them even more so. With the draft capital Detroit has, and Holmes history of scouting, I'd have to think he would feel confident he could draft an RB or 2 that would come with a 4 year deal, instead of trading for a guy with 1 full season left

Brad Holmes is building a team to compete do you guys really think he'll trade Williams? I can't see it unless we massively over pay, Holmes is too smart.

Williams is a FA after this season. He’ll be 28. I doubt he gets too big an offer in FA. Likely return a 6-7th comp.

Your own words he won't get a big offer. It's very possible they move on to a new QB next year with 2 1st round picks and they have a lot of cap and could have more if they move on from Goff. A 2nd cheap good RB with the OL and TE/WR's would be great for a rookie QB. I think Holmes is too smart to trade Williams.

I don't know much about Reynolds.

He's Detroit's #3 RB, a 4 year UDFA who has played well in limited snaps, both rushing & receiving.

Probably just read this tweet that's been circulating for a while.

I reaaaalllly hope the 49ers don't get him. We already can't beat them, and this would make it even worse.

 

[payote75]

I do think CMC could help but is another star oft injured star at the RB position the answer. Unless it's one of a handful of deals.

Edge
OL
RB

 

[rdlkgliders]

The timing of things is as interesting as any aspect of this situation. We are playing Carolina and we may have interest in 3 or 4 of their players spanning of our 3 biggest concerns Edge, O.L, & RB all in the same week that Akers becomes a mystery and movement seems imminent.

The Rams could probably use the Panthers' RG about now.

The Bills FO is starting to get on my nerves. Who do they think they are- the Rams???

 

[Gandalf]

Commodes sucks, I think they should have changed their name to the Washington War Pigs

 

[Gandalf]

He played in the Thursday night game and had 15 carries for 67 yards. He runs hard and gives great effort, I noticed that when we played them opening week last year.

They didn't throw to him much on Thursday like they usually do.

You don't get a RB for cheap at midseason if he doesn't have some flaws. So guys who have injury history, aren't seeing the holes well, have fumbles, etc are par for the course.

This is why you want to draft a fucking RB who can help you instead of fish for ones midseason. And it's even more glaring when you end up trading for the physical types you turn your nose up at in the draft. Because the previous two RBs we added were both very physical (Anderson and Michel).

Remembering Anderson's impact with a tear in my eye:

Every draft I wonder at some of the backs they pass up. If the two main guys have had injuries in their past then maybe they should be looking for a RB every year until they can find a good one.

And before someone says it……I’m not talking about the Jake Funks and Xavier Jones types.

Well that certainly seems doable.

I think CMC would be like signing BWagz, he would help yes but does nothing to address other more pressing needs on the roster (LT, G/C, DE/Edge)...

If we're not looking for guys that sack the quarterback or prevent our own quarterback from getting sacked...I don't get it...
