Nobody is a sucker enough to take Goff at this point at that cap number.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

I think Goff is some ridiculous $90M cap hit if they move on from him right now.

 

[Iggloo]

Rams should just talk to O'Brien directly, no one else crazy enough to trade for these guys. One has a degenerative knee condition and huge contract, the other a concussion crisis and huge contract.

 

[MizzouFalcon]

Boy, that didn’t take long to fall apart.

Rams trying to get rid of the big contract players.

 

[GNG]

Many teams shedding big contracts and looking for bargain signings.

The Redskins have been eerily quiet in FA thus far............

They already have 3 unreliable RB's so why not a 4th lol

Brandin Cooks is turning into the village bicycle.

Or even more up the Skins' alley is they trade Guice (and other stuff) to the Rams for Gurley, then Guice actually stays on the field in LA and triples Gurley's production through the remainder of Gurley's contract.

Gurley is pretty much untouchable for another yr.

Who is going to take on a $17.25mil cap hit for a RB with tender knees?

They can release him in '21 and take the $8.4 mil dead money hit....cheapest way out of this contract.

And the Rams window is closed.


That really was a short, anti-climatic, cute little project they had going there.

But it's not. Doesn't the $4.2M per year signing bonus allocation stays as dead money to the Rams and won't pass to the new team? I think it's a 4 year $44M contract (or so) that a team will be trading for.

Good not great WR...got one big contract though.

 

[Superbelt]

Good not great WR...got one big contract though.

And has cost teams three 1st round picks to get him, to date.

Originally drafted in the 1st, and then traded twice for 1st's.


Crazy.

You're correct the Rams keep the signing bonus in the form of dead money which still make him hard to trade unless they want to eat $12 mil in dead money.

The new team picks up the salary and roster bonuses....roughly $13 mil in '20 and it drops to about $9 mil in '21, then $10 mil. Still too much for a RB with arthritic knees....no?

But doesn't that end only if they trade him by tomorrow?
