No idea. A lot of the defensive FAs are re-signing.
Rams sign Puna Ford....LOVE this signing for the interior DL.
I really like Bobby Brown as well and think he played very well this year overall. His age made his possible resigning a priority to me.
But, the Rams went with Puna and I think he is a nice upgrade inside.

I also think he's a bit of a diva in that when shit isn't what he wants it to be he shuts down, which is why I don't like him and why I didn't think we'd pursue him.
Yeah, I hear ya. Definitely can see the diva side to DA. And some of that history with Jimmy G is a bit concerning, although I haven't read or seen too much about it.

Regarding any potential attitude problems with DA.... I'm putting my trust in McVay. Not only is our coach a freaking genius with X's and O's, he's great at creating team culture, I think he's gotten better with psychology, too. By his own admission, McVay said he didn't handle Goff's departure well, had some "growing up to do", and has learned to improve his skills in transparency and direct communication. So yeah, I think McVay is gonna lay his cards on the table and tell DA exactly what he expects of him-- not only as a player, but as a teammate. Sounds like DA is super-motivated to win a Lombardi, and I hope that motivates him to step up his game as a teammate as well.

I thought OBJ was gonna be a locker room cancer, but he turned out great. So I'm hoping McVay can push the right buttons with DA, too.
 
If I'm right it's a good thing. Means we may come out of this draft with him in round 3.

On the flip side if McVay takes him at 26 I am fine with that. Because like you I am a fan of his game. I just see his standing among this TE class and how the league will perceive it differently.
I'm not taking him at 26! Not even sure i want the Loveland kid at 26.

With so much talk now of QB's getting taken early, I'm really hoping some blue-chip players fall to us, from the TE RB WR CB or OT positions. It's what happened last year... I had no hope we'd get Verse, but he kept on falling due to teams grabbing QB's early. It was a position we really needed to hit on, and we get very lucky. Hoping for the same here, especially someone to complement Adams & Puka as "pass catchers" or else a home-run hitter at RB.
 
Adams is perhaps the most impactful free agent the Rams could have locked up for next year (maybe 2). The man can still beat press coverage in his sleep. The last 2 years we basically had to scheme Cooper Kupp open. McVay will have a whole new set of plays available at his disposal now. I fully expect both Adams and Nacua to feast with over 90+ catches and 1,200 yds for each.
 
Jersey sales are such a scam dude. I just bought a Nacua jersey last year and it’s already out of date. I feel like I used to be able to wear a jersey for multiple years without worrying about a number change or the player getting traded.

#18 might also work. Tyler Johnson is a free agent and may not return.

Adams (#18) and Nacua (#17) has a nice ring to it; and #18 has a Rams' history ... Roman Gabriel.
It was also Cooper Kupp's original Rams' jersey number.

Another possibility I would like is #1. Mainly because it might mean Derion Kendrick is off the roster.
We were all wrong ... Puka is changing his number to #12

That's why its always safer to buy a Rams legend jersey. They are always in style.

My son bought a Cam Akers jersey after his rookie year... talk about a bad jersey.

Well, it could be worse: you could have a Cooper Kupp jersey like me. Two years after he started his decline.
