    [Rodgers] said he’d play for $10 million. Aaron Rodgers is playing for at least $13.65 million, and up to $19.5 million. Which is still a very good deal for the Steelers.

    Albert Breer@AlbertBreer
    For what it’s worth, I’d heard the $10 million number, at the time, was sort of exclusive to the Rams. As in, an example of how badly he wanted to go there in March—”He’s willing to go there for $10 million.”

    from https://www.lafbnetwork.com/nfl/la-rams/la-rams-news/los-angeles-rams-aaron-rodgers-exclusive-deal/

    So that $10 million figure? It wasn’t a universal offer. It was, perhaps, a targeted message: a willingness to make financial sacrifices for a perfect situation that never materialized. With the Rams closing their window, Rodgers pivoted to Pittsburgh—and still signed on for what amounts to a relatively frugal contract.

    But Rodgers’ arrival in Pittsburgh also reopened a different line of questioning: Should the Steelers have chased Stafford harder?

    That very topic came up on Friday’s edition of Unsportsmanlike, when Evan Cohen and former Super Bowl champion Chris Canty debated whether Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin may one day regret not pushing harder for Stafford months ago.

    [from the article linked above]: Donald shared a video from their workout and it looked as intense as you’d expect.

    if the rams can acquire ramsey and if forbes can contribute, i see very few weaknesses on this team. backup qb. wr depth? not really. they have atwell. they have whittington. and i really like mumpfield. offensive tackle depth is a problem.

    actually tight end is still a big question mark. higbee coming off an injury. i know he’s fully recovered, but i don’t think we quite fully know how healthy he is. and after higbee, we still don’t know. if ferguson doesn’t pan out, that’s a big problem although i think they could easily go more 3 wr sets. atwell is still here, and i really like whittington.

    Yeah. According to Breer Rodgers was courting the Rams to play in LA, before Stafford decided to stay.

    No new news for Rams re. possibility of adding Jalen Ramsey (I have noted they aren’t really looking at this time period as any kind of “deadline”)…on Jaire Alexander, Sean McVay says “nothing but respect for the player, but I don’t know if that’s a direction that we would go.”

    I really don’t know how I would have handled my Rams fandom had they signed Rodgers. It wouldn’t surprise me if the roster currently has some other anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist loons on it, but at least I don’t know about them right now.

    Yeah. And I just don’t think he’s a good guy.

    I pulled this quote from Davante Adams talking about how positive his experience is with the Rams and Stafford so far. Clearly, he’s used to QBs who blamed him.

    That seems to checkout considering that Rodgers publicly called out his receiver Mike Williams last year.

    Rams agree to terms with free agent OT D.J. Humphries

    By
    Charean Williams

    Published June 12, 2025 07:13 PM

    Free agent offensive tackle D.J. Humphries agreed to terms with the 49ers on April 29 but never signed. His representation, AMDG Sports, announced on social media Thursday that Humphries is signing with the Rams.

    The Rams have Alaric Jackson as their starting left tackle and Rob Havenstein at right tackle.

    Humphries signed with the Chiefs on Nov. 23, 2024, after recovering from a torn ACL late in the 2023 season. The Chiefs anticipated Humphries taking over at left tackle, but in his first game, which came in Week 14, he injured his hamstring.

    Humphries returned in Week 18 to play 32 snaps, but he played no offensive snaps in the postseason as Joe Thuney moved from guard to left tackle. Humphries, 31, did play nine special teams snaps in the team’s first two postseason games. He did not get on the field in the Super Bowl.

    The Cardinals made Humphries a first-round pick in 2015, and he made the Pro Bowl in 2021. He started 98 games in his nine seasons in Arizona.

    Assuming that either Quessenberry or Humphries will be a backup at OT along with McClendon, my only question is can either be better and more consistently available than Noteboom was?

    I still don’t know what they think of KT Leveston, or maybe these last two signings at OT mean that I do know.
