They did experiment with Malcolm Rodriguez at fullback. I think Vaki is going to challenge for RB3, kick returner, and special teams ace but I could see him getting defensive reps if they need them.
Yeah Rams fans don't like that. Apparently Stafford refused to restructure his contract to help the Rams with the cap. he restructured multiple times with the Lions. I bet it's Kelly who wants the money guaranteed.
The scuttlebutt on the Rams forum is that Goff is asking for the same money as Herbert. Not sure what their source is. I'm assuming local sources. Herbert signed for 5/262 so 4/210 would be about right for Goff. Probably 100+ guaranteed.
There's really no coincidence these protests are happening in an election year like the George Floyd protests in 2020. It's also not a coincidence that these campus protests intensified 6 months after the Hamas attack when Trump's trial started.
I think 4/200 is the floor. Hurts, Burrow, Herbert, Jackson all signed 5 year deals for 250+. Goff is older than those QBs so I think it will be a 4 year deal.
It's hard enough getting one foundational player in a single draft, let alone two and a plus starter in McNeil and solid starters in Melifonwu and Barnes on a 12 win NFC Championship game team. I would also add that none of these picks were gimmes. No one would have complained at the time if they drafted Fields over Sewell.
