The 2024-2025 Los Angeles Rams Draft and FA Thread.

Wrong thread Retro.

lol Lakers... ewwwww

 

[Jermaine133]

Now we have a Puka and a Poona. Been watching tape of the latter and he has the same type of explosive leverage that Aaron Donald brought to the table. He gets under the O-lineman initially and can penetrate effectively because his first step is lightning quick. He is an under-the-radar type player and a typical guy that the ShitferBrains Twins like. We shall see how this develops over time.

my only issue is that he is about the same size as the rest of our DL. He is barely over 300 lbs, but is only 5'11. But if he is better than huggy bear (Bobby Brown) then great!

 

[Jermaine133]

Now that Hoecht is gone one of the following will move on up: Keir Thomas, Nick Hampton, or Brennan Jackson.

..damn... not sold on them either.. if neither of the 3 could crack the backup lineup then these 3 aren't much better.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, Jermaine. Supposedly Ford is pretty much like a bowling ball but if he can handle those big O-lineman of the Iggles and stuff the run, than the signing was worth it. What would have been better and hopefully will happen, is the Rams load up on a host of big, fast, and badass D-Lineman in the Draft.

I have this sense they are going to whiff on a bunch of them and take players we don't need. I hope not, but we both know what the Draft Disasters the ShitferBrains Twins can create especially now that we lost another Draft guru in Gladstone!

 

[Jermaine133]

I like the moves made so far all in all. My issue is with the whole Kupp thing, that could have been handled alot better. This ball club gotta get out of the habit of shitting on the good players because the current performance isn't what it was and trying to force a breakup. These 2 dipshits knew that they didn't have to extend Coop but did anyway only for it to bite them in the ass. 1. They should have came to him asking to modify the deal/spread the cap over some yrs etc and if he refused offered a trade option. This is the reason why I will always side with the players, these guys are human too, not just "pieces" on a team you can move and dump when its all used up.

I just do not want another Bobby Brown III, i saw where he was bitching about not getting enough pass rush opps when reality is he started 28 games and played in 46 over the years even with AD on the roster . This guy generated only 3 pass rushes, 0 sacks during that spell in which AD was often getting double teamed. So my question is where was his pass rush then?? 6-4 328 and the Run defense was piss poor the 1st half the season with his big ass clogging the middle and still ended up 28th in rushing.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, all three are at about the level Hoecht was playing. Jackson is the best of the three, right now.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea, I hear ya, Jermaine. That is the exact reasons the ShitferBrains Twins were not going to bring back Brown and it is the exact reason the Rams SHOULD NOT bring back either Reeder or Rozebum.

 

[Retroram52]

Neville Gallimore is another smallish DT that is probably going to re-up with the Rams. Lurrell Murchison is going to be left to walk and that will about do it for the re-signing of our own Free agents.

I still think the Rams should trade Kupp to the Patriots for Joe Milton or send Kupp to Cleveland for Devin Bush. We shall see what transpires.

 

[Retroram52]

BTW, Connor McDemott will probably re-sign with the Rams. Noone is calling.

 

[Retroram52]

Well, the ShitferBrains Twins are at it again. They not only overpaid for Adams, but they gave him a $12 million dollar signing bonus. Nacua is going to give-up his number 17 so Adams can wear it and Nacua is going back to his college number of 12. What a joke.

It didn't take long for Puka Nacua to give Davante Adams No. 17. Here's which number Nacua will wear now.

[Retroram52]

Another guy the Rams should hunt down is a snooperbowl winning Tackle from the Iggles of none other than Mekhi Becton who is a Pro Bowler benemonth that would take care of our Tackle needs. He is 6'7, 363lbs and he was one of the guys who allowed Barkley to run free most of the season.

Shit if the ShitferBrains Twins what blow a bunch of money, the Rams should call Becton's agent and steal him from Philadelphia. It amazes me, the Twins can throw away cap space money by cutting Kupp but can't put together a package to get a guy like Becton!!

 

[Retroram52]

Here is who is left that is in the top 101 FAs and who is gone. Good read.

The tape don't lie, he wasn't making much of an impact rushing the passer. After the bitching. Bye! Bye !

NFL Free Agent Signing Grades – Latest Signing Grades for 2025 NFL Free Agency – WalterFootball

Rams re-sign WR Tutu Atwell (1 year, $10 million): D Grade

I don’t understand this deal. It’d be bad enough if it was just $10 million for a season, but this contract is fully guaranteed. That’s right – Tutu Atwell is somehow getting $10 million fully guaranteed for one season!

The Rams could have obtained a similar receiver for about a quarter of the funds, so I almost have to wonder if there’s some sort of money laundering involved. Speaking of which, you can get our great Money Laundering t-shirt here. The colors even line up for Atwell!

The only reason this contract isn’t a Millen grade is because it’s for just one year, so there aren’t major long-term ramifications. Plus, Atwell knows the offense, which has to count for something.

Rams Rams re-sign OT Alaric Jackson (3 years, $57 million): A- Grade

The Rams had a great Friday. Not only did they learn that Matthew Stafford would be returning to the team; the front office also re-signed its top free agent, Alaric Jackson, to a $57 million contract.

Retaining Stafford without Jackson would have been foolish. Jackson provides Stafford with some terrific blind-side protection. Jackson isn’t as good of a run blocker, but he’s not a liability in that regard. What’s important is that Jackson can keep Stafford healthy, which gives the Rams a chance to make a deep run into the playoffs once again. The price is fair but not a bargain, so this won’t quite be an “A” grade.

Rams Rams sign WR Davante Adams (2 years, $46 million): A- Grade

It wasn’t too long ago that the Rams were supposedly shopping Matthew Stafford and beginning anew as a result. They’ve done a 180 instead. Not only did they keep Stafford; they managed to spend a fortune on one of the most talented receivers on the open market.

Davante Adams may not be the same elite receiver he once was at the age of 32, but he was still highly productive last year. He’ll be a colossal upgrade over Cooper Kupp, serving as one of the better No. 2 wideouts in the NFL.

Rams re-sign QB Jimmy Garoppolo (1 year, $11 million): B- Grade

As stated earlier, mediocre backup quarterbacks make about $4 million per year. Superior backups make … not this much. Obviously, Jimmy Garoppolo is a premium backup because of all of his experience, but his seems like a lot for him. Still, it’s not a bad idea to have an insurance policy for Matthew Stafford, who is 37 and possesses a lengthy injury history.

Rams Rams sign DT Poona Ford (3 years, $30 million): A- Grade

The Chargers are usually poor against the run. That changed last year, thanks to Poona Ford’s presence. Ford was a forceful body against the rush and was able to generate some pressure on the quarterback.

This is a great move for the Rams. Their one weakness last year was their struggles against the run. Ford providing an upgrade in the trenches will certainly help in that regard.

Demarcus Robinson has left the Rams for the Whiners. Now we have three not so happy ex-Rams in the NFC West we have to play twice a year going forward: Earnest Jones with the Seahags and now Demarcus Robinson and Tre Tomlinson with the Whiners.

Looks as though the Rams will be adding the new roster players from out PS and the Draft. I think the Rams owe it to Kupp to trade him to the Patriots for Joe Milton but he will most likely be cut tomorrow. Sad ending to a brilliant career.
