Rams Current News & Events!

[Retroram52]

The Rams would do themselves a big favor snapping-up FAs Safety Justin Simmons and Corner Xavier Howard. They are both available and they would improve our secondary tremendously.

 

[Jermaine133]

We need safety help. Russ Yeast was bad at blitzing, bad in coverage, and made zero plays. On top of that, he was a bad tackler. You can't have that from your starting safety.

yep show him the door along with Kendricks

Yeast is fine for depth. He's a 2022 7th rounder, played OK for where he was picked.

Johnson seems to be still recruiting guys to the Rams. I thought he was gone, but maybe he's still in their plans?

 

[Retroram52]

There are alot of great talent on this list especially at LB and the Secondary. Another article stating the obvious about Simmons and Howard. The Rams did well with their seven initial FA signings and now they are dragging their feet a little bit. Better pick up the pace, dudes.

Hoecht tendered (likely original round tender)

Rams should kick the tires on Mack and Bosa with the Chargers, but I'm guessing teams are trying to wait them out to see if they cut them?

 

[Retroram52]

Good news on Hoecht. Maybe Shula will do the right thing and return him to being a DT instead of an EDGE. That was just plain stupid by RaheemShitferBrains!! To Hoecht's credit, he played his heart out as an EDGE and gave it his all for the entire season and that is the kind of guy McVay likes and you want on your team. They should give more bucks as time goes on!

Yep, Shopson, the Chargers are going to be cutting players because they are still over the salary cap by $25+million. Maybe that is what teams are doing is just waiting for players to be sent packing.

Staley really was and is not a very good HC. He is probably going to be like a Mike Martz. Just a good coordinator and that is it. Along with the GM, Staley ran the Chargers into cap hell. Maybe we can get a Bosa or Mack out of their mess.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, indeed Hoecht is coming back and if he is, probably John Johnson, who encouraged DWill to come back, will re-sign along with Witherspoon and others who are not getting offers from other teams. Shelton isn't getting much attention and Jackson will probably sign the tender. Maybe they are all waiting to see what occurs in the draft or future FA signings. Sebastian Joseph-Day is also out there. We shall see how this all plays out.

Rams place tender on OLB Michael Hoecht

The Rams have tendered Michael Hoecht, most likely keeping him on the roster for 2024

[Retroram52]

I'd like to see a Bosa or even Mack on the Defense. They can stay in LA and just walk across the hall. Those two would really help our D and AD.

Chargers need to be under the cap by 4pm today, right? Should see those cuts soon...likely Williams and Mack IMO.

 

[shopson67]

Sounds like it could just be Williams cut today, with a Derwin James restructure (or delay signing their new FA) to allow them more time to find trades.

 

[SJ76]

Derwin James please and thank you

 

[shopson67]

Derwin James please and thank you

He's not going anywhere, just might restructure to help get the Chargers under the cap today.

 

[chy1127]

I just saw that Nick Scott was released. The guy could hit but my memory is that he missed a lot too.

 

[Retroram52]

Yea chy, many of the players we let go and signed by other teams discovered those players were as bad as we knew and released them. Maybe an exception with Greg Gaines who re-upped with the Bucs. This is one reason I think the Rams overpaid for DWill.

DWill was pretty good last year in coverage. Apparently his contract has some outs for the team after year one. That being said, we still need a true #1 CB.

Add OBJ and Cam Akers to the bad list, both will be let go by their teams...

 

[Retroram52]

OBJ may come back at the vet league minimum at some point. McVay has been in touch with him since he left for Baltimore!

That numba one CB will probably come in the draft or if the Rams were smart, they should sign both FS Simmons and Pro Bowler CB Xavier Howard who was cut by the Dolphins!
