Colvin is a DT, JT.
76 players left. 1 more to cut. Any player with a line through his name does not count against the roster. The 14 players in small type are the players cut.
AgamemnonTavon isn’t your average WR. He is more of a home run hitter. There is a premium for that. imo
He isn’t a move the chains and/or score in the red zone type.
He can take the ball from anywhere on the field and score. He can do it with a long pass, short pass, run, punt return, or even kick return. The other team is never safe when he is on the field. How many receivers can say that?
AgamemnonActually Tavon is not getting that much compared to other WRs. They don’t understand that because his contract extends way out until 2021, that they can’t compare averages for this years salary of WRs to Tavon contract. The Salary Cap will be about 200 million when he hits the larger numbers. An important point is when can the Rams get out of the contract. Again, cause he is still on his 4th year, rookie contract, getting out after 3 years wouldn’t be bad. And we still need to see the details of the contract.
The franchise tag is 9.2% of this years salary can and the tag follows the cap increases. Tavon salary will equal about 5% for the length of his contract. They should be so lucky that they sign another 10 players to a contract like that. imo
AgamemnonJust being hurt doesn’t free up a roster spot. They would have to put him on IR. So, when they cut down, they have to decide if they have enough WRs while they wait for him to recover.

Est. Cap Space (Top 51): $7,893,337
Evidently, the Rams moved some money around when they gave Tavon his extension. Their Cap Space increased by ?about a million. We have to wait for the contract details to know for sure.

Hmmmmmmmm.

AgamemnonI have my own list for cut down and this is the first of 2. Fisher does well on managing this part of his duties. He has pretty well kept the right people. imo One exception, he let Keenum get away and then traded a draft choice to get him back.
AgamemnonTavon’s contract figures to be ~5.1% of the salary cap over the life of the contract. I think that is a good figure for the Rams.
Agamemnontied with deandre hopkins for most tds by a receiver from the 2013 class.
Interesting…except, 4 of them (I think) we’re from rushing, and he had as many carries as catches, so I’m not sure whose contract to compare his to.
I would say, Tavon gets paid to score TDs.
AgamemnonThat is a decent contract. imo
Finally, the Rams get a player signed early.
Tavon is under contract through, 2021. The franchise tag for this year for WR is 14.6M.
Tavon gets 4M this year.
12M next year.
42M for the next 4 years.
New money is 10.5M for the years 2018 – 2021. Count 2016 and 2017, he gets 56M for the next 6 years. AgamemnonI will be watching the 11:00 replay. I don’t do sign ups. I don’t give out information over the internet. I don’t put information on my computer. I would be connected to too much porn. 😉
Maybe I can find a hazard site to watch or radio? But even then they are bad resolution and they have a big delay. They are hardly worth it. I think I deleted my old bookmarks. I am not watching KC vs Chi or Tenn vs Oak. When the Cardinals moved they televised their games for 2 years, I think. The media people really took it hard the way the Rams left. imo
AgamemnonI always liked Donnal. I think of him as the upgraded version of Reynolds. He might be better than that.

Jared Godd and the Los Angeles Rams hit the road to play the Denver Broncos in an exhibition game.
Gary Klein and Lindsey Thiry tell you what to watch for.
AgamemnonOn the eve of the Rams’ third preseason game, Southern California News Group writers Ryan Kartje and Jack Wang discuss what Rams players need to prove themselves in this week’s “dress rehearsal” matchup, why Hard Knocks just hasn’t been that compelling, and whether Paxton Lynch is proving the Rams made a mistake in their massive trade-up for Jared Goff.
AgamemnonIn the first episode of Rams Overtime with Times reporters Lindsey Thiry and Gary Klein, the duo discusses “Hard Knocks” storylines, the Rams’ quarterback battle between Case Keenum and Jared Goff and the receiver corps.

AgamemnonI liked Mannion when they drafted him. To me, he is doing what I expected all along. I am sure he is improved in his second year, but it isn’t a surprise to me. I think he will be at least Bulger good.
AgamemnonI will take a bit more risk of injury to make sure the team is ready for the first game. Other than that, I want what I have always wanted this year. Players who catch the ball and a quality backup Center.
I am not satisfied with Rhaney and Kush. I want to see more WRs catching more passes.
AgamemnonI vote we get ready to win the first game. Keenum the first half. Then Goff. Mannion is good to go, I don’t have to see any more.

Rams training camp — Aug. 23
Live from Rams training camp, Ryan Kartje and Jack Wang talk about the latest on rookie quarterback Jared Goff, as well as an updated injury report.
AgamemnonWay back when Bidwill moved, income from football was all his family had. It was the same for other owners. Now the owners come into the game rich. I think the AFL started that?
Agamemnongreed is what brought them to st louis. and it’s what brought them back to los angeles.
And it will probably take them to Portland or San Antonio in 20 years when the new stadium in Inglewood becomes outdated.
Just how long do you think,
will live? AgamemnonThat is a lot of work for nothing. It really won’t make Goff a better QB next year to be the immediate starter this year. He needs about 10 starts this year to be ready for next year. That will come in the normal course of events. Keenum will get hurt or have a bad game/s, then Goff can play. It won’t make much difference if Goff starts every game this year, as long as he isn’t a rookie next year. imo
AgamemnonI just wrote down a couple short notes after the game.
Quick had 2 drops. Goff had 2 fumbles. Thomas is not a kr guy. Goff to Brown, good pass and catch for the winning TD. The offensive line looked good. We have 4 RBs that can run and catch. Hemingway had a good catch and run. We still need to sort out the WRs and decide on a backup Center. imo
Hill #32 and Jordan #35 are making a bid to make the opening day roster. C’mon Ayers, make a play.
Spruce is injured, zooey. We don’t think it serious, but he is in a knee brace. It happened last game. Goff needed the work worse than Mannion. Green has his time last week, it was Brown’s turn. imo
