. But he’s still about a month away from turning 25, so the Rams believe there’s upside. They love his ability to sell routes, particularly on in-breaking ones 15 yards down the field. They love his aptitude for playing on the outside and in the slot. And they love his physicality.
Just a comparison.
Would people have been happy with Garcon this year if they had signed him?
Garcon did not surpass the combined 70 catches/1000 yards mark until his 6th season (2013).
I was very much in favor of them signing him in 2012 and wish they had.
Roughly speaking, in general terms, Woods is 2017’s cheaper Garcon alternative.
Garcon, career numbers:
i don’t even think he has to be.
he was barely a 1000 yard receiver last year, and washington was still a very dominant offense. the ball was spread around, and the tight ends were features heavily. if the rams decide to go tight end early in the draft, that guy could could quickly become the main receiving threat in this offense. drafting a guy like bucky hodges will basically be drafting a huge wide receiver in the mold of a graham.
plus mcvay never had a guy like gurley taking pressure off the passing game. now of course goff and gurley could be busts, and none of this will matter. but woods will be just part of a whole. if he ends up being a number 1 receiver all the better, but i don’t think this offense has to bank on him being that. they just need him to be better than britt. and he can be that just by being a leader. a professional who comes in. works hard. knows the offense. runs precise routes. a guy the qb can rely on. basically everything britt wasn’t.

FROM SPOTRAC: Robert Woods signed a 5 year, $34,000,000 contract with the Los Angeles Rams, including $15,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $6,800,000. In 2017, Woods will earn a base salary of $3,000,000 and a roster bonus of $4,000,000. Woods has a cap hit of $7,000,000.
However, Woods deal is really a 1 year deal for 7 million. Another 8 million becomes guaranteed if he is on the roster on the 5th day of the 2018 season.
If Woods performs, the rams can keep him for 8 million next year and less than 7 million a year for the remaining length of his contract
If Woods stinks, the rams can cut him before the 5th day of 2018 season without taking any cap hit.

this is a good deal for the rams. low risk.
and with woods going from a run heavy offense to what is presumably a more sophisticated passing offense.
mcvay will find ways to optimize his talent.
and even then i expect them to add more skill position players.
