RAMS clean house

[BIGRED1959]

wow-- james Lauranitus, jared cook, and Chris Long. All cut--

Question is....could James Lauranitus help our need for milb ?

 

[gmabel830]

Damn, that's huge... they have young guys coming up they need to pay and needed to make some tough decisions it seems.

 

[splitsecond]

Do they still have to clear waivers during the offseason?

Long have anything left in the tank?

 

[DVontel]

Laurinitas wouldn't even be an upgrade over Minter.

Long is washed up IMO. 4 sacks in his last 18 games. 4-3 DE. Injuries been piling up too.

Cook isn't good.

 

[cardncubfan]

Looks like they will have around 80 mil in cap space available.

Yeah, none of those players would help this team, IMO.

Chris Long is a shoe-in to get a gimme deal in Oakland, IMHO.

I wonder if these moves imply they will be locking up Jenkins to a long term deal? I'm sure Keim has a hundred different scenarios on his FA board from now until 3/1. Should be an interesting two weeks.

Would not be upset if the team looked at James Laurinaitis.

He's great at letting the plays come to him & getting sucked out the play easily nowadays.

Of the three Long would be the only one if I was the Cards to be interested in.

 

[Snakester]

Wow. I can't believe Chris Long was let go. There is our guy go get him Keim. Sign him Freeney and draft a pass rusher or two and our defense suddenly looks a whole lot better.

When I first heard about it Jenkins and the other CB came to mind. both are FA this year.

To be fair, Long has only started 11 games in the last two seasons. I don't know what the severity of his need injury was, but he's only 31 years old and a good size to play OLB for what we do.

Jared Cook is a total tease.

By cutting Cook, Long & Laurinaitis now, the #Rams allow them to be immediate free agents. They have 3 weeks before everyone else is free

Yep, Cook will have one great game and lay an egg for the rest of the season. Kinda reminds me of the Dude, but with character issues.

Long, I wouldn't mind taking a flier on, pending a physical and fully evaluating the extent of his injuries. I graduated same year as him back in college and saw him in my apartment complex a few times - he was a big dude back then and much bigger now... wonder if he has anything left in his tank (at age 30).

They seem to have the cap room to sign both CBs, but wouldn't surprise me to let one go and have Rams management lock in the core D-line to longer term deals. They could be scary good if they just found a decent QB.

Their motto for the past 4 years.

Cook is gonna be a steal for some team with a competent QB.

I see what you're saying, but he really wasn't productive during those games, & that's with the best DLine in the NFL to take the pressure off of him.

I can't see him doing too much here.

When did The Dude have a good game ?

Would not be upset if the team looked at James Laurinaitis.

For a team like AZ that is in win right now mode, and a team that is weak in the middle, they would be foolish not to at least kick the tires on Laurinaitis.

Rams can live without Cook and Long, although Long will be missed in the locker room. We have depth there, and Fisher can find pass rushers at the 99 cent store.

If the Rams' plan isn't to bring Laurinaitis back on a bargain deal then this is a mistake IMO. He's slowed down but is still a durable, intelligent competitor who cannot be replaced easily. I don't think Ogletree can play inside.

Cook is not a competitor.

Rams should have cut Rodger Saffold instead of JL.

Yeah. He's an animal.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

wow-- james Lauranitus, jared cook, and Chris Long. All cut--

Question is....could James Lauranitus help our need for milb ?

I would LOVE to have Laurinaitus. Love

 

[MadCardDisease]

I would LOVE to have Lauranaitus. Love

Yeah that would be awesome because then we would finally have some peace and quiet.
