Don’t know the exact number but we know it will be towards the higher end for RB’s. The only way I see them doing it is if they don’t see Singletary as a #1.
mjt328 Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 On a side/related note with the Todd Gurley news... The Rams should be a cautionary tale for anyone promoting the "ALL-IN" approach to roster building. They were legit contenders for roughly two seasons, and are now watching everything fall apart. Salary cap hell and players getting cut. No draft selections to rebuild the roster. Brandon Beane has stated he wants this team built for the long-haul. They are not going to mortgage everything for a small window at the Super Bowl. They believe the best road to a Super Bowl is consistently fielding a contender year-after-year.

If we hadn’t just given up a 1st for Diggs, I would be more open to Gordon. Singletary isn’t a lead back unless you like fumbling and getting both your RB and QB killed.

They're in trouble now with a mediocre QB counting for $36M on their cap, but when he was on a rookie deal that they capitalized on their window, went all-in and won the NFC. They're an example of the rewards of making bold choices when the opportunity to win is there. The precautionary part is don't pay Josh if he's not worth it 1

Something like 1 year $6-8 million.

The precautionary part is don't pay Josh if he's not worth it Jared Goff is certainly part of the problem. But the team would still be in deep cap trouble, even if Goff was playing really well. And if it wasn't for that terrible no-call against the Saints, the Rams wouldn't have even gotten to the NFC Championship game. I always hated the Rams approach. Thanks to their cap situation and lack of draft capitol, it may be 2-3 more seasons before they are even back into playoff contention. Personally, I prefer the New England approach. It's not about amassing a group of superstars, and making one desperate shot at the trophy. It's about building a cohesive and consistent team that can compete every single year, regardless of injuries, free agency, etc. If you can constantly field a team that wins 70-75% of your games for 10-15 years straight, odds are that you will eventually get a real shot at the trophy. 2 2

And to me Singletary is a high end backup and I've been preaching all offseason we draft a better RB. 1
White Linen Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 4 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: I think with the increased workload as the season went on, I think they feel he is. Could be but if the reports are true about Gordon or if we do something else significant at RB - we should know what they think soon. I personally think he's a good back. He gets tough yards, he's shifty and gets yards on good directional decisions. He lacks that burst though and for whatever reason didn't trust him in short yardage and they didn't throw to him (or any backs). I'll say they didn't use him near enough. I don't think we got a full look at his capabilities, so for now only they know.
