znModeratorJourdan Rodrigue@JourdanRodrigueThe Rams have received serious trade calls regarding All-Pro DB Jalen Ramsey, a source said, as they continue to navigate possible offseason moves. Ramsey, who is pretty involved/knowledgeable in how teams run/are built in general, has alluded to this possibility for weeks.February 24, 2023 at 8:08 pm in reply to: Ramsey to be traded?

znModeratorInside Russell Wilsonās no-good year
The measurables were bad enough: Russell Wilson, a nine-time Pro Bowler, crumbled in his first year outside Seattle. A 5-12 record and frankly horrendous play made what many thought would be a good team into a laughingstock. And there was the $245 million contract on top of it.
Somehow, it was worse than that, according toĀ a bombshell reportĀ this morning from Kalyn Kahler, Jayson Jenks and Mike Sando, who talked to more than 15 players, coaches and staffers for the story. The juicy details are eye-popping:
- Before the trade, Wilson asked Seahawks ownership to fire head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider.Ā The quarterback was convinced those two were hamstringing his chances for success. He even had a preferred coach in mind: Sean Payton. Days later, Seattle dealt Wilson to Denver.
- There, Wilson installed his own support staff alongside Broncos personnel.Ā Wilson had his own office too, which blurred the line between coach and player ā in a bad way. Wilson even brought his own quarterback coach, Jake Heaps. Who was Wilson listening to? Heaps? Or Nathaniel Hackett, the head coach known for coaching QBs? And what about actual Broncos quarterbacks coach Klint Kubiak? It sounds like a disaster.
- Wilson even asked offensive players to come into the facility on TuesdaysĀ ā the only day players have off during game weeks ā for āstate of the unionā meetings, which usually included film sessions. Wilson and Heaps ran these meetings. Some players said they were helpful, while others thought they were weird.
Wilson did get his wish in one sense: Payton is the new Broncos head coach, and has already said Heaps and other Wilson staffers wonāt have a significant presence inside the facility.
The full storyĀ is worth your time.
znModeratorI think the Rams can contend next season, though, if they can keep players on the field.
That’s how I see it too.

Theres no way these cops would kick off some white kids at a park in a predominately Black community/public park. Thereās also no way anyone would call the cops on them.

znModeratorI donāt know anything about the cap. I think Gaines, Hoecht, and Gay are must re-signs. Love to keep AāShawn, but that looks unlikely. Perkins will get the minimum, and nobody else is going to give him more, probably, soā¦fine. No way would I release Fuller, Noteboom, Rochell, or Shelton. Fuller was very good when healthy, Noteboom is a solid G and still possible LOT, Rochell is still on his rookie deal (I believe), and Shelton graded higher than Allen (I believe). The Rams wouldnāt get anything for Jefferson, so I see no point in trading him. Wagner was the highest rated ILB last year, so trading him makes no sense to me at all.
I agree on Fuller and Shelton. They keep both. I agree on Wagner. Noteboom I don’t know about. It may actually be that Jackson is better.
