26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 @AdamSchefter Rams and WR Tavon Austin reach agreement on 4-year, $42 million extension including $30M gtd, per source. Incentives can take deal to $52M.
Blokestradamus Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 So long, Robert Woods. We barely knew ye.

Blokestradamus Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Someone from the 2013 1st round class cashes in. Happy for Tavon, seems like a decent dude. It's a lot of money for what he is and what he has been though. On the plus side of this, Kenny Britt should be hitting the open market. Blokes could live with him.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 That kinda money for a gadget guy is unreal. Sure he had over 400 yards in both rushing and receiving but 30 million in guarenteed money is crazy. Either the Rams front office is stupid or the increasing cap is causing huge, unnecessary contracts

Kelly the Dog Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 Wait, he was a bust after two years. Is that even legal?
thebandit27 Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 $10.5M AAV for Tavon Austin???????? That's...just...wow
Kirby Jackson Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 So long, Robert Woods. We barely knew ye.That's alright, we will have the Clemson connection with Watkins and Mike Williams (or Malachi Dupree).
Maury Ballstein Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I hope the Rams get a #1 wr in the draft because Tavon ain't it.
Kirby Jackson Posted August 27, 2016 Posted August 27, 2016 I hope the Rams get a #1 wr in the draft because Tavon ain't it.We've all been saying on here that you can't pay for an average guy. Austin has some unique skills but he's not the kind of guy that you tie $10M a year up in. Those contracts are for stars not role players.

Austin has some unique skills but he's not the kind of guy that you tie $10M a year up in. Those contracts are for stars not role players. It's exactly the type of deal that gets you to 8-8.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2016 Author Posted August 28, 2016 It's exactly the type of deal that gets you to 8-8. In the case of Jeff Fisher and the Rams, I believe you mean 7-9.
KD in CA Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Geez...I forgot all about that guy. I recall people talking him up like he was Watkins the year he was drafted. Seems like a lot of coin.

Screwball Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 The Rams grabbing Tavon indirectly brought Shady to Buffalo. Bills turned the 8th pick to St Louis for the following. ^ No. 8: Buffalo → St. Louis (D). Buffalo traded this selection and a third-round selection (71st) to St. Louis in exchange for St. Louis' 2013 first- (16th), second- (46th), third- (78th), and seventh- (222nd) round selections. 16 EJ 46 Kiko 78 Goodwin 222 Gragg

I guess they should have just drafted Austin.
Hardcore Bills Fan Posted August 28, 2016 Posted August 28, 2016 Well it just goes to show how smart DW and company are and why we are up and coming in the NFL. The Rams, well..., have great fans, lol Overspending on a number 2 WR is stupid by the Rams, But then again they dont even have a #1 QB yet. As for the people worried about Woods, lets cross the bridge when he is up for a contract. there is a full 18 meaningful games left and 1 useless game still to play, anything can happen. Woods btw is not a DW guy so he could walk or get traded, and if that happens i have faith DW will find a suitable replacement that will produce just as much or better. DW did fix the hardest spot in the NFL to fix in one season, imagine what he'll do with the receiving core.

What worries me is if Austin gets that contract, how much is Watkins going to want when his time comes?
