Jalen Ramsey being traded to the Rams

[CruiseControl]

Yeah I agree the Rams will have a hard time winning the NFC West. IMO, the Hawks will win that division, especially now that they have beaten the Rams once.

Yeah, those hawks beat the rams by one point at home.... they got the division locked.

Can you read?? I said "it was my opinion that the Hawks will win the NFC West".

You have to pay for game-changing players.

Pay, not overpay.

 

[Battlelyon]

Not looking like it so far

Get over it, you won by 1 point at home, because our kicker missed the field goal. You act like we haven't beaten anyone.

 

[Battlelyon]

Agreed and the rams paid a much heavier price than they should have

Good teams stay aggressive like the last century Cowboys

 

[Battlelyon]

I think the Rams have seriously shortened their runway for excellence with this move. Tough to compliment an expensive core with good young players when you don't have any high draft picks.

Unless you know how to draft and your best players are young

Don't hate the move because Ramsey is an all pro talent and still young. So you have a shutdown DB for years to come.

I don't love it either because of the cost. The Rams haven't had a 1st rounder since they took Goff and now you just gave up another 2 and a 4th rounder along with the fact you have to pay him top CB money. So you're tying up a lot of cap space with a few players which on it's own would be fine but you've traded away the draft assets you need to replenish and fill out the roster.

The offensive line is one of the worst in football and you just traded away valuable picks that could've been used to bolster and fix that offensive line and strengthen other areas of the roster.

I would've liked the trade a lot more if they didn't already give up picks in previous years to other players and the overall roster was stronger.

It's a good thing this up coming draft is deep on offensive line, we get this fixed, oh shit for our opponents

Yes, Rex Ryan had a helluva DEF...but those teams didn't win anything noteworthy....back to back AFCCG losses (17-30 to IND and 19-24 to PIT) was all they have to show for it.

Getting the AFC CG in back to back years isn't noteworthy anymore?

 

[Battlelyon]

You got a good CB with a bad back who can't play and traded a decent CB with a good back who can....

Thats going turn this thing around this season?

The sad part is you actually believe that

 

[shopson67]

Pay, not overpay.

whether not it's an overpay remains to be seen

 

[Battlelyon]

I think the rams will have a tough time winning that division.

I’m ecstatic Ramsey didn’t go to the chiefs

If they don't this year, they will be back next year competing. Nothing wrong in investing in a lockdown corner, they are hard to find.

 

[shopson67]

perhaps your right, but I would imagine Ramsey will demand a new contract this offseason that will make him the highest paid in the league.

Sure, which is why Fowler is likely a casualty (they only gave him a 1 year deal for a reason); maybe Brockers too. I believe they already planned on Whitworth retiring and Talib moving on.

Exactly by the end of the season those contract situations will start to work their way out in time for the offseason.

You left out the quotes on "bad back" (as it may be imaginary). This is about more than this season. The odds against teams that lost the Super Bowl the year prior getting back to the Super Bowl aren't good historically.

Any time a team can add a “special” player they need to REALLY consider it. They paid a steep price but Ramsey is special

Since BUF did it 4 consecutive and won all 4...I'm not that impressed with back to back losses.
