znModeratorTaking on $12.6 million in dead money by trading Todd Gurley is a big hurdle for the Rams. Even bigger, however, is finding a trade partner to take on his contract with his injury history.
Good luck. https://t.co/gme51IeUgD

Rams are still finalizing their new group of assistant coaches. Only holdup is desire to announce them all at the same time. There’s no issues with the new coordinators previously reported. I’d think the full group will be in place next week.znModeratorZN,
Can you check the spam que again? I posted earlier and made the mistake of adding two links to books. Great books. But, apparently the mayor of spam city hates them.
Got it.
And as usual my fee is modest. We can arrange a payment plan, if need be.
znModeratorRich Hammond@Rich_Hammond
Just so we’re clear, a contract restructure is not a pay cut. So if you’re asking if current Rams’ contracts could be restructured, the answer is yes, but that money just gets chopped up and moved around. It’s a short-term fix that sometimes can be worth it.your typical restructure is base salary into regular bonus, which would be the scenarios.
znModeratorThe first major move of the Rams’ offseason arrived Thursday, and they didn’t even have to make a decision. @Rich_Hammond breaks down what Eric Weddle's retirement means as far as L.A.'s offseason plans. https://t.co/nFJzFxo2bR

excerpt:
now Weddle is gone and the Rams’ primary backup, Marqui Christian, is eligible to be a free agent next month. That would leave the Rams with only 2019 seventh-round pick Nick Scott and 2019 undrafted free agent Jake Gervase as backup safeties. Also, Johnson is set to enter the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, so the Rams likely will have to address that soon.

I seem to like the guy. But I do get the sense he’s like the Trump for the progressive left. He speaks in great sweeping generalities with little substance in terms of just how to get where he’s headed.
Disagree.
And comparing him to Trump in any way, shape, or form just tells me that you know little if nothing about the guy, PROBABLY because he represents positions which, given your own political preferences, you tend to reject tout courte instead of trying to understand them.
And he appeals to more than “the left,” W. The left are a slim majority in the USA, and Bernie’s appeal is far far broader than that.
znModeratorSuper Bowl analysis: Six missed opportunities cost the 49ers against the Chiefs, who didn’t miss with Mahomes
Brief excerpt:
By my count, Garoppolo missed six open receivers in the fourth quarter for various reasons (two batted passes). That is just too many missed opportunities to keep pace with Mahomes. … Meanwhile, the Chiefs are the envy of the league because they don’t just have a good quarterback, they might have one of all the all-time greats when it’s all said and done.

I think it was always likely that Fowler would walk elsewhere this year, and I don’t really have a problem with that.Why?
He may have got 11.5 sacks, but he got them in 6 games. That’s 10 games of little production when a guy on your line is being double and triple teamed.
Yes, there is also more to playing defense than sacks, but he didn’t even register a QB Hit in any of his 10 games without a sack according to Pro Football Reference.
For a guy that should be seeing his fair share of single blockers, it’s just too low.

Andrew Whitworth will return in 2020, as Andrew Whitworth said a month ago. The question, of course, is where, and how much it will cost to sign him. Whitworth had a base salary of just over $10 million last season but his cap number was inflated to $16 million because of a restructure.znModeratorIntroducing: Game Unlocked

znModeratorRams’ Andrew Whitworth reportedly will put off retirement for another NFL season
Andrew Whitworth is not going to retire just yet. On Tuesday morning, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that the veteran offensive lineman is “putting off retirement another year” and is expected to return for the 2020 season, his 15th in the NFL. The 38-year-old lineman is reportedly “feeling great” after having offseason surgery to clean out his left ankle.
Rapoport added there is confidence Whitworth and the Rams will be able to come to terms on a new contract. Whitworth is slated to become a free agent on March 18 after he completed his three-year, $33,750,000 deal with the Rams this past season.
A second round pick out of LSU in the 2006 draft, Whitworth was an immediate starter in Cincinnati, helping create running lanes for Rudy Johnson while also helping Carson Palmer earn Pro Bowl honors during his rookie season. Whitworth’s steady play helped the Bengals advance to the postseason six times during a seven-year span that include AFC North division titles in 2009, 2013 and in 2015.
After earning one Pro Bowl selection during his first nine seasons, Whitworth earned consecutive Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in 2015 and a third career Pro Bowl nod in 2016, his final season with the Bengals. Whitworth signed with the Rams that ensuing offseason, and was named an All Pro in 2017 while helping the Rams capture the NFC West division title. In 2018, Whitworth helped the Rams boast the league’s second ranked scoring offense while also helping Los Angeles defeat the Cowboys and Saints en route to an appearance in Super Bowl LIII.
Along with providing clear throwing lanes for Palmer, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton and Rams quarterback Jared Goff, Whitworth has blocked for several 1,000-yard backs, including Johnson, Cedric Benson, BenJarvus Green-Ellis, Jeremy Hill, and Todd Gurley.
Whitworth has also been an iron man of sorts, playing in all 16 games in a season 10 times that includes each of the past two seasons. In all, Whitworth has appeared in 215 regular season games with 211 career starts.
