    I can take it. Side note.. On the radio this morning, they were talking about how Myles is going to owe 20 million more in taxes over the next few years due to playing in California. Also, the Rams restructured his contract and can cut him after the 2028 season with little penalties due to the way that his new contract is structured. Lastly, and no joke, if the Rams trade him to an AFC North team in 2028, they have to give up their first rounder that year as well.

    It’s all good. I’ve attended many business conferences in Cleveland and stayed across from the stadium. Pretty nice area. BTW, I’m in SoCal and cannot stand the Rams and how they buy a team instead of develop a team. Not good for the sport and I’m hoping they fail

    I absolutely love the conditional 3rd round pick the Browns added to the trade.

    Pro Bowl pass rusher Jared Verse, a first-round draft pick in 2027, a second-round pick in 2028 and a third-rounder in 2029*.

    The * is because the Browns at the last minute added the condition that if the Rams trade Garret back into the AFC Noth, going to Pittsburgh, Baltimore, or Cincinnati the 3rd round pick in 2029 becomes a 1st round pick!!!

    I love this little * condition snuck into the trade by the Browns. Tip of the Hat to the Browns Front Office for making me smile. :)

    Rams have a top tier front office. They've proven you don't need high draft picks to build a championship level team. It takes more work understanding the FA market. And it doesn't hurt asking players to move to LA vs someplace like Cleveland or Baltimore.

    You are correct, but it sure flies in the face of everyone trying to tell people how great they are at developing players, and coaching players. . I keep hearing about it, but I keep seeing them go get players that are already developed. :shrug:

    Are you saying that "Small Hands" was a mistake? After all, he did play at the same stadium as the team that drafted him. ;)

    You can't buy a team in the NFL like in Baseball(the current Dodgers).If you try to do this,it will be a disaster,like the 2000s redskins

    Buy a team? No. Buy an offense or defense? Absolutely. Rams bought a defense this year.

    There are a lot of players I don't like. There are some I don't respect.

    He's one of those players that I don't respect, but it has gone even beyond that for me. I despise what I have seen from him and the way he acted in that game. He could have killed Mason Rudolph on the spot if that swing of the helmet landed clean.

    The racism stuff is utter garbage and a complete fabrication.

    He is someone that I won't feel bad for if he gets hurt. I don't feel that way about almost anybody other than criminals and people that hit and abuse women and children or abuse animals. Every single time that lying, fake smile appears on the tv, my stomach turns.

    They are still the 6th lowest paid defense for this season despite the addition of Garrett and the corner of the chiefs....Before that,they were one of the youngest and also the lowest paid defense in the NFL.And their big addition was by trade not in free agency

    Crips and Bloods better check themselves. This man’s is a Brown. Myles Garrett is a reckless idiot. Dude gets off on swinging helmets at smaller guys heads and collecting speeding tickets like participation trophies. He has only had 9 since 2017. He is an absolute menace behind the wheel.

    https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/48105101/browns-myles-garrett-gets-ninth-speeding-ticket-2017

    Although it gets liitle press, NFL players are in fact major targets by some gangs.

    I didnt want Small Hands at all. Tyler Linderbaum was my number one. Given how Zone Heavy the Steelers Offense was at the time, it would have been hand in glove. Didnt turn out that way.

    IMHO The Rams are making a mockery of the NFL draft. -Who wouldn’t trade a first rounder and a decent player for Mathew Stafford and then Myles Garrett. The strategy is brilliant so long as the players don’t get injured. Additionally, I don’t think owners or any members of NFL leadership taking away from one of their biggest events of the year- the draft. - Watch a few questionable flags thrown against the Rams this year.
    The thing that ticks me off is that the Browns had a SuperBowl Caliber roster, then fired John Dorsey - the guy that drafted Mahomes in KC, Baker, Ward, Chubb, in Cleveland, had several great free agent signings in Cleveland, including Wyatt Teller and Jarvis Landry.. and that culminated in 1 playoff win and 1 playoff loss. Now that team is gone and we’re rebuilding again. The media around here keeps saying that the Browns are rebuilding for the dome. Absolute garbage. That dome doesn’t open until 2029 and most of us don’t want the dang thing in the first place. This team is getting harder and harder to root for going into next season. Thank God that we have the Buckeyes in Ohio.

    I hear You, but I try so hard , and struggle everyday of my life not to be that way, but a guy like Garrett makes it hard. Especially how the NFL acts like he never did those things. Can you imagine if it was Watt who did the exact same things, and then made up stuff trying to get out of it.

    Smart moves but you still have to get lucky at the most important position in football. Sure wish Colbert showed more forward looking vision in his final years.

    The future: Drafting QB Ty Simpson with the 13th pick. The Alabama product won’t play as long as his 38-year-old colleague, Stafford, is on the roster. GM Les Snead could’ve used that pick on someone designed to maximize the team’s remaining time with a Hall of Fame QB, but opted to put a succession plan in motion instead.

    The present: Trading for Myles Garrett. Acquiring the best defensive player alive, fresh off setting the sacks record, qualifies as “win-now,” yeah. It cost the Rams Jared Verse, an excellent edge defender in his own right, plus a handful of premium draft picks. You only do this if you think you can win it all this year. And it’s not just Garrett: Trent McDuffie, the star cornerback from the Chiefs, cost them a 2026 first-rounder.

    The … past? Aaron Donald retired after 2023, at 32 and with a lot of good football left in him. He says the Garrett trade stirred up the idea of coming back. Donald is 35, the same age the Steelers’ Cam Heyward was when he earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2024. (Heyward was also second-team in 2025.) It’s natural for our imaginations to run wild.



    The Rams made the ultimate forward-looking move by picking Simpson to sit behind Stafford. They then planted their feet firmly in the here and now with last week’s Garrett deal, aiming to improve a 12-5 team from a year ago as Stafford inches closer to his own retirement.

    A curious sequence, even though Snead and coach Sean McVay have earned the benefit of the doubt. Let’s tag in Rodrigue, senior NFL writer for The Athletic, and a former Rams beat reporter who knows the organization well. I put the issue to her: Do you see this confluence of moves as a sensible balancing of present and future (and maybe past), or as a sign of a front office that can't make up its mind about a direction?

    " I know that the Rams at least believe they are balancing the present and future of this roster (we’ll just have to wait to see if they’ll be successful) with an attempt at creating a higher floor on the other side of whatever this championship push will ultimately cost them.
    Much of their roster is still built largely through very strong draft classes in 2023-24, with a select number of the ’23 class primed to receive contract extensions right when it may become necessary for the Rams to be cost-controlled at starting quarterback. (We don’t know how much longer Stafford will play; much depends on the result of this season in my opinion.) Beyond their drafted players, those who were acquired as a part of this all-in push are on multi-year deals (Garrett, Trent McDuffie, Jaylen Watson), as are other members of their core (Quentin Lake, Kyren Williams).
    As one Rams source put it to me, it’s not just about going all in to try to win a Super Bowl this season but to be “built better” on the other side."

    Don't forget that he also advocated for Deshaun Watson; even going so far as stating he was, and I quote, a "model citizen."


    ..... :hmm:


    So.... having 26 Sexual Assault allegations is considered being a model citizen?!?! :hmm:
