Kingfish Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Interesting! http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...a-plane-ticket/ The St. Louis Rams have purchased a plane ticket for USC quarterback Mark Sanchez to travel to St. Louis on Sunday, according to Steve Wyche of NFL.com, per our friends at The Red Zone. What does this development mean? It doesn’t necessarily guarantee that the Rams are definitely going to draft Sanchez with the second overall pick of the draft and fly him into St. Louis for an introductory press conference.

Acantha Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Interesting! http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...a-plane-ticket/ Now THAT would be a big-time smokescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Not a bad move by the Rams. For the cost of a plane ticket, they could net themselves a 2nd rounder from the Seahawks, to trade-up from 4th overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 This would allow the big three LTs to last a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 If you truly think a QB has the goods and you don't have a great QB (Bulger is not great), why wouldn't you take him? The QB is the most important player on a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either the Rams are drafting Sanchez or they're not. If they are willing to trade the #2 then they aren't serious about Sanchez, are they?

For the cost of a plane ticket, they could net themselves a 2nd rounder from the Seahawks, to trade-up from 4th overall. That's what I was thinking. The problem is that maybe no teams will contact them for a trade now believing it's a done deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a done deal until that card goes up to the podium for Sir Roger to read out loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 That's what I was thinking. The problem is that maybe no teams will contact them for a trade now believing it's a done deal. Maybe other teams were telling them they didn't wanna go to 2 because of the huge salary, so its a desperation move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Does anybody believe that buying a plane ticket means anything? If they draft him, they'd probably pick him up in a private jet. For 60 million bucks they are investing a $1000 first class seat? Hardly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atlbillsfan1975 Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Exactly. This is a craptabulous story all the way around. Was it like this last year the night before the draft? I mean all these crazy rumors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Interesting! http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...a-plane-ticket/ I think this is an awesome move by the Rams. They probably want out of the #2 slot and bad. They buy a guy that's "high on everyone's board" a ticket to St. Louis which might prompt a few teams to try and sell their soul to get Sanchez.

You're right. Because no one would ever think the Rams would ever eat the cost of a plane ticket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Since usually the guys projected to go in the top 10-15 are in NY for the draft to be there in person anyways, who says that is who the Rams bought the ticket for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/04/24/...ver-plane-fare/ Could mean "Big Trouble" for the Rams if this is a true story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 I thought they received permission to negotiate with someone once the Lions signed their guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
