Damn....Rams just traded for Miles Garrett

No joke. Just heard it from Ian Rappaport. Wow

Rams trading Jared Verse and a 1st round pick in the deal.

Yet again, please tell me how that team has an actual salary cap. And they STILL have to pay Puka, but somehow will be able to

Probably should have moved it to the NFL Forum, but it seemed pretty relevant. Please move if needed.

Hard to believe we couldn’t have outbid them. That’s likely due to them packaging Verse in the deal (which makes it a little less painful for us)

I assume they are the undisputed favorites now. That will make it all the sweeter when we knock them out of the playoffs.

I kept hearing 2 1sts, a 3rd and likely byron young, or 3 1sts over the weekend. So this seems cheap. I feel like verse was the sweetener that we couldn't match.

None of it matters if stafford breaks, verse to an older garret is a better team, but they ain’t gonna be bailed out by the artist formerly known as riq, so, nice overpay before you retire there mcvay

 

[Ruminator]

Imagine Verse's reaction to this! Probably wasn't "WHOO HOO I'm a Brown now!"

Rams are legit going all in this year. I hope this becomes a huge flop

 

[kidhawk]

If they do give up Verse in the finalized deal then I’m not as concerned as I would have been if they were both there.

 

[Appyhawk]

Rams are giving up a lot forone guy. It is them having both Garrett AND Verse that would have worried me. This is the kind of deal that won't really change a lot except the price tag for great O Linemen.

I'm not gonna' sit here and claim that this doesn't make the Rams a lot better. This is ridiculous. How in the world can they afford this crap? And somehow, they'll be able to afford a massive contract for POOka.

 

[classicaaron]

i dont particularly mind this. For this year its a better deal for the Rams but to me they are just throwing away their future. Verse i think can be a building block plus another first round pick gone is a good thing for seahawks.

 

[James in PA]

I mean, why even have a salary cap? Seriously.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Getting the best D Lineman in football is desperation?

 

[HawkRiderFan]

Well this isn't good for us this year.

 

[James in PA]

Oh, I totally missed the part about them giving Verse up. That makes me feel a little better.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

I have been told several times that I'm crazy and I'm just a Rams hater. My point has been proven about the Rams, yet again. There is NO WAY they are not cheating the system.

[SoulfishHawk]

Yep. I don't usually buy into the "rigged" crap, but man.............this is feeling exactly like it's..........rigged.

There are certain teams in sports that seem to always try to stack the deck. The Rams are one of those franchises.
