So Do We Re-sign Emmanual Forbes?

[Soul Surfer]

Keep upgrading the DB
(/OL/LB/WR/RB/DL/Edge defender) room yearly.

Your philosophy applied to the whole team.

It's the same rationale as with Tutu last year.
If he plays the same, they won't want him.

I hope they don't give the man the Tutu treatment.
He won't even be active part of the time.
And most of the other part of the time he'll be on the sideline.

I will never figure out the;
"Mystery Of Tutu".

Teams have a 5th year option on 1st Round picks. Forbes was a 1st Round pick in 2023.

The Rams declined the 5th year option on Forbes. That 5th year would be 2027.

2026 is Forbes' 4th year. He is under contract with the Rams for 2026.
In fact, his $2.85M salary in 2026 is guaranteed. Rookie contracts are fully guaranteed.
Even if the Rams cut Forbes this year, he would count against their cap for $2.85M.

Always nice to have someone if the establishment who can deliver the facts........

He has the qualities of a good CB. But he really needs to show out this season, looking for consistency in his game.

We already declined his 5th year option. So that tells you the Rams are not sold on him being worth any kind of big money second contract. We have him for next season and wouldn’t save any money by cutting him. So this is very much a prove it year for him. If he balls out, we either lose him in FA and get a comp pick, or we sign him at below that 5th year option $s. So the answer to your question is - maybe?

He will get another year to find a role in the defense. Maybe the new veteran talent that was added in the offseason will help him. He struggles in run defense because of his size limitations but he seemed to be very effective in coverage against Jackson Smith Njigba of Seattle so that’s a positive.
