at the very least, they probably should not have tagged joyner. even if they didn’t plan on tagging sammy.
they most likely could have signed him long-term at a cheaper rate. or signed another safety. i mean there’s a lot of them available right now.
It doesn’t matter to me. I like Joyner. I think he brings more than the other safeties out there. Last year, my feeling was that when he wasn’t on the field the defense was not as good.
I believe Joyner was gone without the tag he is thought of very highly around the league. Last season it was night and day when he was in the game . He got hurt in the 9ers game and I think he came back in the London game. So many plays. Of course I like Watkin’s potential as well but I don’t think the Rams could afford him at the tag level. Might just be me but I didn’t like some of the low effort plays, quitting on routes etc.
