I don't think the owners came together collectively, but what Peters did was "Lawrence Phillips" himself to the rest of the league. McVay is in the very same position Vermeil was in back in the mid-90's taking a chance. Granted DV took a much bigger chance drafting LP unlike McVay who gets a cheap contract.
It is worth a shot for McVay/Kroenke if they can pull off a SB in the next 2yrs preferably next year because IF they can then they can say "adios Marcus, because we don't trust you with a big contract, living in LA close to your homies with your immature ego that now will only be exacerbated and your play on the field will likely disappear screwing our cap up as well.
Anyone who thinks the Rams will automatically give this guy a BIG CONTRACT 'even IF" MP is a choirboy these next 2yrs(in order to get paid) with decent production is very naive.
They know he is Lawrence Phillips of the CBs no doubt !!
I saw that interview on NFLN and obviously the Rams did as well. This kid hasn't changed a bit and the Rams know it as well and who they are getting.
