This team has to get younger, faster and bigger and that doesn't bode well for guys looking for work who have already seen their best years.

Thus why I am a Mekhi Becton fan.

Nope, the Rams are looking to unload him because he has become an unnecessary weight! The Rams were two plays away from stopping the Eagles on their SB run, in fact they were the only team to come close to defeating them.

No doubt, Kupp has talent but in comparison to himself there's been a huge drop off due to wear and tear, age and injury. If he won't play at the vet minimum, then Washington has to pass on him.

We agree, this team needs upgrades in talent but we part at age and potential. I'm not sure if you've noticed it or not, but Kupp isn't a 30- year-old vet, he will be 32 before training camp (June 25th) and on the downside of his career.

The average age of the Philadelphia Eagles' 2024 roster is 26.1years old, making them one of the youngest teams in the NFL. This youthfulness is part of the Eagles' strategy to remain competitive for many years. On the other hand, the average age of the Washington Commanders in 2024 is 26.64 years old, making them one of the oldest teams in the NFL. Interesting that you want to make them older by average instead of younger and more competitive.

unnecessary weight? the Rams have no chance at winning if Stafford leaves. sty you need vets especially with a young QB. Kupp will bring a savy vet besides Terry in the WR room. We need that. He will help JD5. Ertz was injury prone, but it worked. Kupp is the same scenario. If it costs us a 5th im ok with it.

Yes, unnecessary weight is appropriate when you're talking about aging WRs!! You don't give up picks for guys like this you wait until they are released.

I agree with you when you state that there's a need for veterans on teams, especially those with young QBs, however, WHO those veterans are is far more important than having them just because they're veterans. Hopefully, you will agree that a veteran who contributes significantly in terms of upgrading play and adding leadership is far more important than one whose talent has fallen off to the degree that he offers no more than what you already have and has never been known for taking a leadership role. Btw; Ertz at TE, has been more of a safety valve for Daniels, a role that is generally designated for that position, so unless the plan involves moving Kupp to TE...

Why do you think the Rams want to part with such a valuable commodity?

Dean, he's probably a notch better than OZ and Crowder in the slot as this point in his career. It would probably be better if we could get someone that would allow Terry to get in the slot more often. When the Rams cut him maybe we sign him, if you're right thinking he isn't washed up, props to you

I thought you meant Stafford was unnecessary weight. Ertz was not a safety valve. The play to win the game to go to the playoffs went thru him. Thats not a safety valve.

If the rams are trading or releasing Stafford that means rebuild.
