Rams coach Sean McVay was asked at a press conference today whether it was hard to part with the No. 23 overall pick for WR Brandin Cooks. “If you told me I’d be getting that player at 23, I’d be throwing a pool party. And I don’t even have a pool.”

McVay says of Marcus Peters: “Couldn’t be more impressed with the attention to detail in the meetings … He’s doing all the little things the right way right now.”

Confirmed…Gurley would come in at $9.63 million and Peters at $9.069 million for 2019. They still can work out new deals.

“And then in the week and a half now that we’ve been around Marcus, I couldn’t be more impressed with just his attention to detail in the meetings…. You can see this is a guy who loves football.”
Snead hints it may be possible to move into the late 60s or 70s, paints a bigger move into the first or second as tougher.
Sean McVay on the Rams picking up Todd Gurley’s fifth-year option: “I feel very fortunate to have had a year working with Todd. I continue to come away impressed with just the consistency at which he approaches each day.”
