Wonder if Rams are trying to trade Sam?

[RFIP]

Or even Westbrooks if the price is right?

I just think something is going on there.

 

[12intheBox]

Always good to trade someone you were going to cut - especially if you are convinced they won't clear waivers.

 

[Ballhawk]

It wouldn't surprise me if they trade a veteran to free up cap space and to keep these promising youngsters.

 

[CGI_Ram]

Trading some DL depth for help at LB I endorse!

 

[lockdnram21]

Tthey might be trying to get a quarterback

 

[Dodgersrf]

Yeah. I was thinking the same thing.
They wasted little time moving Gilbert.
?????

Westbrooks will be on the Rams roster, I'm almost sure of it. Sam - anything is possible.

I remember Kevin Demoff talking about exploring trades and such in an interview on 101ESPN not long ago. Curious to see what they do.

 

[the zohan]

Id rather see them trade Sam than Westbrooks. I'm guessing they would try to get a LB?

This makes the most sense to me. We're too cap strapped to sign a full practice squad roster...

I don't think we are that strapped? Share your math!

I read it, here, i think:

St. Louis Rams

The Rams currently have the least cap room in the NFL with just $1.67 million in cap space. The Rams already have placed Sam Bradford and Isaiah Pead on IR and they also have three other players on the list. That means that in a few days, the Rams will need to account for 58 players and a practice squad. If they opt to sign a full 10-man practice squad, it means the Rams will lose about $3.66 million in cap space. That gives them have no choice but to make a roster move before the start of the season.

 

[Blue and Gold]

Westbrook could bring far more . . . if Hayes is goingto be able to play, Westbrooks is not going to see significant playing time, though IMO, he would play, but I bet there are teams that would love to have him. Based on his tape he'd bring a good player (starter) or a 3-4 rounder. Again, just opinion, but a 3-4 team would like him and a 4-3 team would like him. He better than plenty of starters in the NFL.

I doubt Sam is traded, but after reading this quote & the "secret list" disaster thread, I'd be a little nervous if my name were Jo-Lonn.

No prob, seems like we'll be doing something with a veteran or two, but we will see soon enough...

Isn't there something in the rules that if you bring in a vet. after the first game his contract won't be guaranteed all season. Cut him anytime with no cap damage. If he's on the roster before the first game its 100% guaranteed. Didn't this happen with Clemens a couple years ago?

 

[RamWoodie]

Let's get a bit real here. Both guys are rookies...Westbrooks undrafted, and Sam a 7th rounder...what do you get in a trade for either...NOTHING!!!

Preseason doesn't give these guys value...IT'S PRESEASON!!!!

Correct.

Which is why Richie Incognito has yet to sign. No one is going to be on the hook for a full year of his salary. After week 1 he'll be signed too.

Just because it's preseason doesn't mean it's not a legitimate source of talent evaluation
