Which position does this man play? I don't see LA making a deal with us , they already know what's going to happen to them

I dont see it happening either not without a kings ransom including Byron in there. Which once again never happen.

He's a LB 'in the style of' Bobby Wagner. He's very good against the run with a low missed tackle percentage, (74 solo, 71 assist in 15 games during 2023). He can cover 'some' but he's better at pressuring the QB. He plays 95%+ of snaps. He was a 3rd round pick in 2021 and he's in the final year of his rookie contract. His pay has increased to $3.116M due to the performance escalator. He's obviously worth way more. He's likely to be worth somewhere between $6M and $16M next year depending on what happens in 2024. Spotrac currently lists his Market Value at $12M. The Rams want to extend him, but there's a difference of opinion as to extension terms, hence the Rams letting him talk to teams. I think the Rams would want at least a high 3rd in trade value before this season begins, and I doubt they'd trade him to the Seahawks for less than a top half of the 2nd round pick. I expect him to stay with the Rams.

I saw an article suggesting we give up Baker and a later round pick. I don’t remember if they suggested a 4th or 5th rounder. They said it is unlikely to happen within division, but might consider it based on the offers they get. Also said the Rams may be doing it to establish his value

He presumably wants a pay increase and a long-term contract. He has knee issues. The Rams of the last 10 years haven't valued the ILB position highly and they don't sign ILBs to long-term contracts. If he was willing to play out his contract with another team he would have been worth a high 3rd round pick in trade value. With a higher contract he might be worth a mid-high 4th. He's done everything the right way. He's outplayed his contract, hasn't held out, and hasn't been a cancer. The Rams have tried to do the right thing by him. It's a small under-sell.

Where did you see that article, Baker and a pick for Ernest Jones IV? Who is this Seer of the future, our Football Nostradamus?
I'd like to talk with him about some stock picks...

Well….that was a bad game but Jones had 2x the tackles of the next closest guy.

Yay?
