[zeke2829]

The Cowboys drafted multiple o-lineman and look where it got them!........Playoffs??

The Cowboys did so over several seasons, typically adding 1 guy per year. Are we really expecting the Rams to draft 3/5 of the starting line in one season?

Could very well be the case RamCub. At this point, much of this is just layered re-iterations.

 

[Retroram52]

Either way, whether its one guy per draft or Zeke's suggestion. One thing is for sure. The O-line needs to be addressed because our Offense is not going to attain the Defense's prowess level without talented additions.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Good move.

Apparently, Britt only has a 2015 cap hit of $4.3M (per Jim Thomas), so that's a sigh of relief. Still some room to sign some OL help (I think?).

Odds are we won't find 3 starters, but if we draft multiple Olinemen, we just might find two, that would be a major upgrade from last year!

We have around $11 million in cap room left. That's plenty of cap space to sign Barksdale and Wisniewski.

That well may be, but they still have to want to sign with us, if other teams offer them about the same or more , obviously you would rather play for a better Team,

AH, but everyone is noticing that we are becoming a pretty darn good team Smed, and they want to be a part of something special ala Akeem Ayers interview. Ayers left a superbowl team to come and play with the Rams. So our cred is changing quickly.

Took the words out of my mouth. An opportunity to start on a revamped o-line with a brand new QB and play for a player's coach like Fisher is enticing to FA's.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

98% of what matters. Oakland gets FA's.

Part of that is the way the Patriots operate though. When have they ever overpaid to keep someone? They set their opinion of each players' value and either cut them loose, trade them, or let them leave when they exceed that. They got Ayers off the scrap heap essentially.

Does this $11M in cap space take into account the money needed to sign the draft picks? If not, cut it almost in half.

That may be true Retro, but there are still a ton of teams that need oline help, and most guys will go to the highest bidder, and that won't be us!

Yes that should include the draft picks too. It should be around 15m now. according to sporttrac
