I don't think we cut Barron at this point . You guys act like we can just replace him with someone better no problem. It's not that easy. I'm thinking we keep him where he's at and draft and sign a true NT. He wasn't rated so high for nothing.
I don't know if we cut him or not. What I do know is this: He has a sizable cap hit this season. I don't get the sense that others on the board are acting like we can "just replace him with someone better; no problem". What I am reading is that others are open to letting him go and finding a replacement; period.
The reason Barron is rated so high is because he's a good tackler, and can play coverage really well. He is not a thumper in the middle that is going to overtake a guard and make a TFL. No, Barron wasn't the only reason why we sucked against the run overall last season either, but he was apart of it due to the fact the he could never get off blocks... like ever. Tree has the same issue, can't get off blocks in a 1v1 situation. So it would make sense that with Barron's cap hit, lack of ability to make TFLs, injuries piling up, and not being a force in the run game, that the Rams let him hit the market. Why not? You could always attempt to bring him back anyways. Don't get it twisted either, most on this forum like Barron a ton, like me. But too many things make sense to explore other options than to assume he's gonna remain a Ram.
