The #Jaguars are releasing DL Malik Jackson and RB Carlos Hyde today, source said. Cap-clearing begins in Jacksonville.

Rams should give Mr. Jackson a call

Rams Q&A: Vinny Bonsignore

[Suh]: If no one blows his socks off, Rams are in really good position. He likes it here. It’s a winning team. Lots to like

I think the first domino to fall is their own free agents. Once that’s solidified, we’ll have a better idea of where they’ll turn to outside their building. Obviously defense/veteran dependable RB and, depending on what happens with Rodger Saffold, offensive line perhaps.

The sense I get – and all this can change once the market starts getting defined – is not to expect a huge foray into that first round of free agency (your big time category) And I’d certainly be surprised if it was multiple guys from that end of the pool. But I do think they have something up their sleeve – perhaps as a trade – to secure someone of big-time need. I’m doing my homework on who!! Beyond that, resigning their own guys comes into play. And then the draft. And a big-time aspect, I think, will be that remaining talent on the free agent market. There should be some good options left over

…so I’d say: Their own FA’s. Trades. Draft. Then remaining free agents post first wave of free agency and draft. (That doesn’t mean they won’t be aggressive in first wave of FA, but I think they’re more likely to wait)

I think it’s a given they’ll bring in a backup RB they’ll have confidence in not just picking up the slack, but someone they can lean on as an actual weapon week to week. C.J. is high on their list, but money always a factor.

Good chance on Fowler. I don’t think he’s earned crazy money so I think a decent chance he can be brought back on a fair prove-it-deal that could set him up for a bigger pay day sooner rather than later. I’m interested to see what his market ends up being

They spent a lot of time with defensive players – pass rushers – at the combine. So they have a pretty good idea what might be out there for them on that market

They want to bring [Saffold] back. But they also like Joe Noteboom a lot

With a healthy Gurley do we beat pats?

I’m sure a 100 percent Gurley would have helped.

I was going to tell you guys how long it took to hear somebody talk about the Saints getting robbed once I got to New Orleans but two guys are already talking about it in the Southwest boarding line.

One guy says, without a hint of irony, that he heard Roger Goodell wagered $30 mil on the Rams and fixed the result. Also says he’s never watching the NFL again

Word on these NFL streets is that Antonio Brown wants $18M-$20M per year on a new deal. Yikes. Good luck with that. What a mess

PixelDonkey@PixelDonkey
I fell in love with the NFL last year. I watched the jaguar’s vs the eagles in Wembley and thought it was amazing. I decided to follow either the saints or the rams and decided early in the season it would be the @RamsNFL and omg I’ve never felt so much joy watching a team

Justin Houston's release instantly vaults him into the conversation as one of the best free agents available.https://t.co/Mc4VnWnMcr pic.twitter.com/4OjTHOcFF6
