Why wouldn't they just cut him? He's a broke dick at this point noway anyone gives a pick for him

No idea what his dead cap number is if they cut him, but I bet it's more than they're willing to pay.

Just looked it up according to Over the Cap:

18 mil cap hit
26.45 dead money

LMAO what an awful contract. McVay is going to be doing play by play after next season

Ewww

Haha, shiiiiit.

Give me OBJ or DHop all day every day over that mess.

I'm curious what Dhop gets unless it's a draft night trade which could happen that trade compensation has to go waaaay down after the draft. As for OBJ I don't see how any team commits to him for longer than 1 year.

Man it's such a shame the Rams won that 1 fluke title. They really are the definition of a poorly ran front office another example according to Over the Cap:

Stafford this year 20 mil cap hit & 111 mil cap. Next year 49.5 mil cap hit & 91.5 dead cap

This article goes into alot of detail about the awful deals they have:

This proposed trade is stupid. Its somening Denver would do, not KC.

7th plus they eat 90% of his salary.

Nope lmao

I like that a lot. Definitely a fair and balanced trade.

I was really hoping that this was the end of the McVay era. The year before they brag about "**** them picks." Thinking Stafford is a world-beater, that OBJ was a difference maker, thinking that their model was the new best thing in sports. Then Aaron Donald is injured, contemplates retirement unless they pay him directly after the Super Bowl. They have to cut Wagner and trade Ramsey, McVay goes on a pouty retreat to wonder where it all went wrong, now for some reason he's coming back out of the shadows with significantly less talent and expecting people to believe he's a good coach again. Man we would've beaten the ever loving shit out of that team if we hadn't lost to Cincy, pisses me off still.

Eh - $10 million for a guy who's been hurt and/or ineffective the last 2 seasons (as he's entered his 30s) doesn't qualify as a 'cheap bandaid', IMO.

That's a desperation play. And with very little upside because you're not going to write that guy's $5 million roster bonus check next season so he's really just a 1 year deal at $10 million.

And he looked DONE last season after somehow looking as bad/worse the season before.

Nah - that's gonna need to be a deal where they bonus out that base salary over the remaining 4 years (2 void) on his deal to get that salary down near $5 million this season at worst. And is $5 million in cap savings worth a 6th round pick for the Rams? Probably not - ol' Les and his '**** dem picks' approach wouldn't seem to care that much about a 3rd day pick.

There have been a slew of better gambles to make in FA at lower costs and we haven't made them. This one seems very unlikely absent some additional maneuvering by the Rams.

In fairness, no matter what LA does, they absorb a massive chunk of his cap hit. The roster bonus has already been paid so it's on their cap as is the pro-rated bonus.

As it stands, he'd come here with $10 million in cap charges and zero in dead money for 2024.

You're not supposed to have conversations about things that aren't based in any true "rumor mill" fashion.

Just saying...

Yeah it would depend on if he’s cooked. I didn’t see enough of him to know. I thought from the little I saw he’s got a little left but was used poorly. I am just saying if you think a guy like this has any gas left in the tank this kind of contract isn’t a bad one. If the goal is to aggresssively develop a WR1 or maybe hold out into true WR1s like aiyuk become available either way it seems like our best immediate solution is a bandaid.

And a 2-year deal worth $10m with a conditional second year ain’t too shabby. I thought the juju deal last year was a good one too. Where we tripped up (and I’m hoping I’m wrong) was not aggressively drafting a WR1. I just don’t think skyy has that ceiling. As long as the goal is to get rid of these bandaids sooner vs later, it’s not a bad strategy to overpay a little. Of course that completely depends on if the guy is too cooked to contribute anymore.
