Lynch still would've taken Thomas. The bond was sealed from footsies in class together

Bro lol I hate that it might be true judging by how they draft.

The season in which he broke the sack record?

13 of those sacks came in just a 4 week period and lot were in garbage time in games the Browns were being blown out in. He's a great player, but he's at an age now where all men begin a severe physical and mental decline.

Like the 5 sack game vs New England?

Les Snead is showing up John Lynch as a GM. I mean, we have all kinds of cap excuses as to why we can't make big signings, yet the Rams continue to make big signings year after year. People keep saying that they will have to "pay the piper". Well Les Snead must be bribing the piper to not collect his depth.

Yup, and their big price was one 5-12 season. Oh, the horror! It's not like we've avoided terrible seasons by playing money ball.

That's what having Matt Stafford grants you. We havent' seen Sean McVay have any success without a #1 overall pick playing QB for him. Obviously great if you have that. We'll see how long Matt can play at a high level and whether Simpson can play anywhere close to that.

What does it matter? Les Snead will just pull off another trade to get a top QB like Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, or Josh Allen until Simpson is ready.

Part of our issue is we and the rest of the league use the salary cap as a legitimate reason/excuse to taper current and future short term spending. Long ago we were in 'cap hell ' But the revenue game has evolved. Snead is fearless about future cap and maybe because his owner is one of the NFL shot callers.

To put things in perspective
2026 cap $301M
2021 cap $182M
2016 cap $$155M

Snead doesn't fear free agency or long term spending on studs. He undervalues draft picks and would rather spend on known commodities, proven players. Which aligns with "f them draft picks" saying.

He didn't just sign Garrett, but also traded a 2026 1st for Trent McDuffie and gave him an immediate $124M extension.

At least we have the most cap space. #1 in responsible spending.

you homers still happy with that lance trace. Rams making moves and a new ring.

"Responsible spending?" Not sure I'd say all that lol. Maybe it's because we were the 2nd worst team in dead cap last year

San Francisco 49ers: ($103,625,697)

So basically participation trophy champs?

He's being sarcastic. I'm not down for moving any 1st rd picks in 2027. Epic draft class.

not sure who folks realistically think SF should go after? Myles was never coming here based off that new contract. LA has future big time deals to payout, while SF has those contracts going right now.

According to Adam Shefter, a major reason the Rams made the deal was because Garrett is locked up until 2030 while Verse is due for extension next year, along with Byron Young and Kobie Turner. Spotrac estimates the market value of Byron Young and Kobie Turner in 2027 to be a combined $59,000,000. Verse would be in that same range. The Rams knew they couldn't sign all three so they made the deal. Now add Puka Nacua at $38,000,000, and the picture becomes more clear. The deal was driven in large part by the cap.

That's my point. LA doesn't worry about future big time deals to pay out. The salary cap doubled in 10 years, and increased more than 50% in the past years. The Rams had $248M in dead cap hits over the past 5 years. They see it like any business expense a loss to write off but it's the teams money not the fans and is the team really going broke? They recently won a SB and now they're primed in the short term.

You think Lynch is catching too much heat but then blame Kaep for this happening like he was out there playing 1 vs 11 ten years ago Lmao

Time for Lynch to go trade for Jared Verse

Not sure why lynch is being made the fall guy. There's no way we could pay 2 edges 75M. And we can't unload bosa until he takes some snaps to prove he's still the same 8 sack a year guy he was before the injury. So no trade possible. Can't blame lynch for that.

What's the reasoning for the first sentence?
Is Lynch not in large part responsible for that?

If you're in the belief that he's just a face and holds no roster power (acquisition, FA, and draft) does that then mean we should start pointing at Kyle, Paraag, or Jed?

Nah they don't hope for s**t. If he don't work out, they will make some s**t happen. They don't wait for s**t to fall on their lap like Trent
