If I’m not mistaken Rich said Breer was on his way to the Rams. I wonder if he will change his tune. He seems to be pretty settled into his opinions.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Nice job on many levels. Buying you a coke if you got the number right. :bowby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
They have to use him and he can’t be one of the main focuses for the defense. In 2016 it was the kill Tavon drill where he was hit as soon as or before he touched the ball IIRC. So if Dallas plays him and they have a few other weapons and a competent (non Boras) OC then he will make plays. It will be great for Elliott too.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Breer says there is a reason Suh, Peters and Talib were available... not good on the locker room. Said Rams and Donald were far apart. Used 80% of Matt Ryan’s salary for a Mack or Donald figure... which is $24 million a year. Said that would reset the market to what it was for top defensive players. Mentioned that Miller won a championship (mvp? Can’t remember) and neither Donald or Mack haveby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
If it all comes together and the Rams can contain and get pressure from the edge then it should be interesting. The DB's + DL = OMGby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Once we get to game one it will quickly turn but I’m not sure who to be mad at but I’m sure I’ll blame someone. Lolby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Seems crazy to me but wow that would be awesome for the Rams and fans if you were Donald.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Fans are usually not on the players side. You can name countless Rams who have lost fans. Thing is with Donald though is he hasn’t done anything yet really. Yes he is not in camp so that is something. But it doesn’t mean much does it? What if he starts the first game and plays all year? For some reason fans are acting like Donald’s just an egotistical money grubbing jerk. And it may be true bby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
What makes you think he is being greedy? If you were in Donald’s shoes you would not do the same exact thing? I for one would not. I would have held out last year. Greedy Donald did not. Risked somewhere in the neighborhood of $100 million to play. Why? And why would his agent advise him to play???? Or did Donald trump that? I also don’t get the “ego” posts. Based on what?

QuoteRams43 QuoteAtlantic Ram Donald can choose to play or not play. He has that leverage. The Rams cannot make him play. Why would the Rams make him sit for 3 years? I just don't get it? Why not trade him and get something? Why keep a distraction on a team that from all appearances is gearing up for a deep playoff run? Not sure this is opinion but I'll state it as such.

I would add a 1.5 in between points 1 and 2... That Suh will hold down the fort if AD contract talks go deeper into the season.... but they still sign AD late like game 6. Rams are smart with what they are doing IMO. And with France, well he only plays hardball. So it would be silly for the Rams to start negotiating at anything higher than a low but solid offer and it would be silly for Franceby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

So even if the numbers are where both sides want, this info would lead me to believe that this going to take a long time regardless. I thought maybe it would last a few games into the season... now I'm think it might go several games... sucks. I hope Donald puts his foot down.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Very informative and meaningful. IMOby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Rams can't bring a knife to a gun fight, IMO. But back to what you said about Donald wanting to play. He could have held out last year. He risked $100,000,000 + to play and for basically peanuts comparatively. Why? IMO, He wants to play. But why take that unnecessary risk last season? Sign of good faith on his part?by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
because Donald's agent is aware that if Mack signs for more then he loses... not Donald... the agent loses. Its not a big loss but in the agent's perception I bet it is. There been a lot of publicity around him and Donald and I think he (France) would LOVE to sign after Mack... with a significantly bigger deal... Just business IMOby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
On the surface it seems that he risked a 9 figure payout just to play for a few million (or whatever it was) Something to do with the CBA? Rams had no money to do a "reasonable" deal last year? Saw the Colts game and didn't want to hold out any longer? I think he hired this particular agency because he didn't want to play for the Rams with Fisher as the coach...

I wouldn't let 3 or 4 mil keep me from signing him. If he signs for anything less than $24M I think the Rams doing pretty good.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com

I think he hired this agent when Fisher was here. And now with McVay leading the way he will eventually sign. There was no reason for him to play last season that I can tell but he did. I want to know why. If it was about money then he is a poor gambler. I would guess his agent was less than pleased with his decision. I think he wants to play and I think he will overrule his agent when the seasoby Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Some pretty rough stuff said about him.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
They are asking a question not stating a fact... But I'm sure on some level there is always concern... but they just extended a RB who had a serious injury so I'm guessing the possibility of injury doesn't concern them enough not to give out big money.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
Pretty sure we have assessed that leverage doesn't really exist. Unless the Rams decide to sit him for 3 years or whatever... I guess that could be leverage but would they do that?by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
they already started of course but now with the leak there is something for fans to sink their teeth into... Was hoping Suh was not the consolation prize... really looking forward to seeing them play together. And IMO the Rams and Donald are in the same ballpark... they will get it done... maybe miss a few games.by Atlantic Ram - RamsFootballFans.com
I pull my hair out waiting for all of the commercial breaks... omg... So I work on Sundays, keep to myself, stay disconnected from the world and then at night I make a big plate of black bean nachos and actually enjoy the game...
