Expect the Raiders to try and grab Desean Jackson

[21&500]

Or OBJ who I hear is all but begging to be traded

Saw pictures of the prius that ruggs hit with his corvette and It looks like it caught fire and was totally charred. Ruggs supposedly rear ended the prius but it didn’t appear crushed from behind.

It was a RAV4 that Ruggs rear ended w/ his vette.

Wow, it was so burned I couldn’t even tell what kind of car it was, I thought it was a prius because the roof had that roundish contour to it.

Since the Rams have moved to LA - off the top of my head
traded boat load of picks for Goff
traded for Cooks
Ramsey - sending out a FRP
this past offseason dumped Goff to get Stafford sending out more picks
now Miller

You play to win the game. And the success does show.

The Spanii have us all believing that cap space is minimal, we don't carry a lot of dead cap as we manage our books... blah blah

Yes but......they arent building thru the draft because they cant. They will have cap issues next season. You can do that a time or two but they are doing it seems the last 3 now? Detroit bailed them out taking Goffs contract from them.
But il give it to them that they are trying to win now. Something we seem to not to want to do. The Rams are creative, we are not.

The Rams seem to be a team that doesn't put a lot of stock in the draft. They have built a championship-quality roster trading their top picks away. We will see if they do indeed win a Lombardi and for how long they can maintain a quality roster with this approach. In one sense, it doesn't seem like a bad strategy. Drafting is an uncertain science. You never know what you are going to get. Why not trade picks for a player(s) who is already established in the NFL and you know what you are getting?

It's not even recognizable as a Rav4. A lot of newer Rav4s are hybrids. It will be interesting to learn if the fire was caused by an exploding gas tank or by the hybrid battery. The NHTSA is investigating whether RAV4 hybrids are a fire hazard after reports of spontaneous fires.

I thought it was a Prius rather than a RAV4.

Driving this.

This is just awful for everyone involved.

Surprised he came away with minor injuries sitting in that.

The Rams are owned by Kroenke - he has a lot of cash
Dean doesn't have the same amount of cash on hand

That helps with the cap. And yes, in a year or two, the Rams will probably lose a player or two - but for this year and probably next, they can manage things.

Exactly. It’s one that makes sense especially when you are a GM that can’t draft DL or OL except one exception on both ends in 8 yrs.
