What happens to Dante?
This happens to Dante..
If Dante has a big year he can cash in big time next year, much more that he can this year with a limited resume. So the Rams get to have a viable if not great edge rusher for one more year. imo
.
I guess for about $8 million?
Agamemnon$14 million, I consider that a bit high, but it is just one year.
I’m looking at Michael Brockers to be traded or cut. Me thinks the reason Brockers has not been cut, is the Rams may have some trades to evaluate. Just a thought.
Could happen, but we only have 5 defensive linemen. I am probably more for keeping Brockers than most.
AgamemnonWhen I saw it was a one year deal for Fowler I thought that the two sides probably worked off the tag number for DE (~17 million). So I’m not surprised with 14 million. Although, I doubt it actually ends up being 14 million.
Starting to hear rumors that Fowler’s deal is closer to $11 million( Schefter on ESPN? ). Maybe $14 million includes incentives? Sooner or later we will get the exact figures.

$14 million is about what his 5th year option would have been. AgamemnonReport: Dante Fowler Jr.'s one-year deal with Rams is worth $14M
Report: Dante Fowler Jr.’s one-year deal with Rams is worth $14M
By: Cameron DaSilva | 1 hour ago
The Los Angeles Rams are in desperate need of outside pass-rush help and late Sunday night, they took the first step toward addressing it. They agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Dante Fowler Jr., keeping him in Los Angeles for another season and preventing him from hitting free agency on Wednesday.
Giving him a one-year contract to allow him to prove himself is a smart move, considering his lack of overall production in the NFL and his limited time in the Rams’ system. He played just 11 total games with L.A. last season, recording 3.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss.
That one-year deal won’t come cheap, though. According to Ian Rapoport, Fowler’s contract is worth $14 million for just the 2019 season.
Last night, the #Rams agreed to terms with pass-rusher Dante Fowler Jr. on a 1-year deal worth $14M, source said. The former 1st rounder gets another year with the team that traded for him at roughly the amount that the fifth-year option would’ve been, then can hit the market. 💰

As Rapoport states, that’s about the value of what would’ve been the fifth-year option for Fowler. The Rams didn’t have the chance to exercise it because they acquired him after the Jaguars had already declined it, but they clearly feel good about paying him a significant amount of money.
The exact structure of the deal is unknown up to this point, but considering it’s only for one season, it’s highly likely that most of the money is guaranteed. The Rams may have built incentives into the contract to make it worth up to $14 million, but either way, Fowler is going to get paid in 2019.
Los Angeles could’ve placed the franchise tag on Fowler and paid him $15.4 million, which wouldn’t have been much more to guarantee him staying for another year. However, the Rams were able to save some money by locking him up to a one-year deal, albeit an expensive one.
AgamemnonSchefty just said on espn the real number is closer to $11 M

I was hoping he’d tweet but here’s the quote from Get Up “I’m told that number realistically is gonna be about $11M/yr…..and that they’re probably gonna lose Suh as well”

AgamemnonI would just a soon have him as Suh. So, there is that. lol I am OK with the signing. Let’s see what he does.
AgamemnonDante Fowler's one-year contract with the #Rams includes $12 million fully guaranteed, with another $2M available in incentives.
