They essentially traded Hopkins for Cooks and a 4th.

Yikes.

The Rams are spending $74M so they can have Jared Goff & not have Todd Gurley & Brandin Cooks on their roster.

They're eating $38M in dead cap between Gurley ($20.2M) & Cooks ($17.8M).

And they are spending a $36M cap hit on Goff (#1 most in NFL).

The Rams will attempt to compete in 2020 while spending approximately $45M of the $198M cap on players no longer on their team.

That's 23% of the Rams 2020 cap being spent on non-Rams.

Maybe we should trade for Les Snead, I remember him being pretty popular on here.

Those logos and designs are so bad and cheap looking. I would say they look like high school football logos but that might be an insult to high school football

Not a good trade but for Bill O'Brien that's not terrible

These bad GMs keep letting each other off the hook.

They have 1 more year without a 1st round pick, and the cap relief they gain from eating all that dead money this year, will be taken up by extensions for Kupp, Woods, and Ramsey anyway.

I literally sat at my computer for 20 minutes trying to think of a way to defend Bill O'Brien, but I got thing.

We'll soon be hailing Sean McVay as a genius for being able to recite from memory all the players the #Rams had to get rid of for cap reasons.

While it sucks we moved DeFo, getting pick 13 is a great return and it shows our front office is much more equipped to build for now and the future, unlike the Rams.

In the meantime, they will have the most expensive and high tech stadium in the country. Kind of like buying a multi million dollar mansion and furnishing it with stuff from a garage sale.
