I think the conversation started with this thread was about our ability to sign these guys and not whether or not we SHOULD resign these guys.
May you resign them... yes you may. But can you.

When, not if, Sammy plays and produces double digit tds this season people who think we would be fine without him may rethink that conclusion. Take him out of this offense and who do you add to allow mcvay the same wide open play calling potential? He'll be in horns this fall, I guaronetee it
It depends.... Look at the Eagkes last year. The biggest name player they added was Alshon Jeffrey who was coming off an injury plagued season.
They added nobody of the caliber of Peters and they were coming off a 7-9 season with an older team.
They did add middling/affordable vets that filled roles. Guys like Chris Long, Torry Smith, LeGarret Blount, Jay Ajaye, and maybe the best player in Tim Jernigan. So they did not break the bank in FA, and they were not coming off a 11-5 season.
My point is the Rams can target needs with mid range priced FA's, because they have enough stars and reality is you can't pay 7 or 8 star players. You need role players. Even the Eagles now have cap issues.... currently $10M over the cap.

I wouldn’t mind him coming back on a good contract for both The Rams & Sammy.
After the miracles this staff pulled out of their rear end last year?
I would not count out them getting both guys in Rams uniforms next year too.
I think they want to get even more from that second they spent on him last year as well.
He didn’t seem to confident in keeping Sammy.He did sound very disappointed in his play calling when it came to Sammy. Don’t forget his twit after a game. McVay did sound very high on Reynolds.
He did make sure to say what a good guy Joyner was & how much he means to the team.

Yeah how much is it going to cost & who will The Rams keep (cut)?
I get the gut feeling Joyner is going to get tagged. Then it'll be up to Watkins to work a fair deal or test the market. Donald will get paid and I think we can get NRC signed. TJ is most likely gone but I'd love to be shocked by Snead on this one. Tavon is a goner if you ask me. I just hope we can work a trade to get something back for him. What are tag prices for WR and S?
Speaking of the Eagles and Jeffrey, there's a story bubbling under the radar right now about him not disclosing that injury before the extension was signed. Hearing some folks in the Eagles' building are pretty pi$$ed off.

I'd be very surprised if we just forget about that #2 pick we gave up for him - he did an awesome job for the Rams last year, and looked like a totally different player off the field too, more level headed and mature than I've seen him in the past.
Again the triple threat of Watkins, Woods and Kupp was a thing of beauty to watch - add in Gurley, thats the best the Rams have looked in a VERY long time, and they've also got time to grow with McVay and Goff IMO
Thanks but what about trading Austin? You think there are any dance partners with his salary?
3 int's over 4 years....yeah I'm knocking him....sorry.
I don't know about all the catches he prevented....nor the missed tackles....I saw where he was rated....coverage wise....I see he is flexible, as in, can play a variety of positions....does he play them all well???
Rams had a top 10 scoring defense......really??? We also played a last place schedule....and again....points scored has a lot to do with field position....I'm more of a believer in YARDS ALLOWED....and we finished 19th in those...
Is Joyner the problem....no...pretty decent player...deserves a raise....just not with us.
ahhh....famous last words if I ever saw them....
Lets look....deep inside the Eagles....I see a team built around their front lines.....offensive and defensive....that is their true strength....
I'ma stay away from their QB's......for now....LOL
Funny how we always divert into Tavon.
Good point though, in that he should have value after the roster bonus is paid. I've considered him a cut simply because he doesn't add squat on special teams, which is a requirement for depth, but there is that chance that a camp can help him settle in to this offense a bit more. I doubt it would help, mind you, just admitting it's possible.
Only problem is that his contract pays him over $9M after this season (2019, 2020, and 2021 seasons). So any team who deals for him would consider him as a one year rental who might have some impact, but that he has potential (longshot of course) to live up to the contract. Where he's attractive to other teams is the lack of a cap hit if you cut him. So what would the value be of a longshot one year rental?
I'm thinking maybe a fifth or sixth round pick, somewhere in that neighborhood. Barring that, he's a cut IMO.
