Brady didn't like him, Saints didn't like him, yet Rams hand him the keys. ???????

Wait. Brandon Cooks hasn't played a down with the Rams yet and they already extended him? Aaron Donald's head must have exploded when he heard about this.

Donald's probably hoping they will resurrect the Oklahoma drill, just so he can have a shot at Cooks...lol

This is going to bite them in ass in a couple of years. Can't pay all of those guys.

I thought the same thing this is the first misstep of the Rams

Aaron Donald is waiting on his contract right now looking at this and he's gotta be saying if your paying average Brandon Cooks then you better back up the brinks truck

I believe that only $20M is a signing bonus and truly guaranteed.

With the contract structured that way, the Rams will need to look at Cooks contract after the 2019 season. They can cut him before the 2020 season with only $4M in dead cap space. At least that is what I'm seeing on Sportrac.

Sorry but I lock up A Donald before cooks or gurley

Yep.

But with an offensive minded HC and the need to sell seats with a new stadium opening up soon, it appears the Rams are committed to putting an exciting offensive team on the field. This in the hopes to attract more local season ticket holders who have so many other entertainment options in the area.

Takes two to play. Reports are Donald wants 25 mil per year, Do you do that?

The whole NFL needs to say "do you do that?" and say no. This is the problem with the salaries, all it takes is one idiotic front office to throw stupid money and then all the other teams have to suffer from what's then consider market value
