Wow, I’m surprised it’s not at least a 3 year deal. I hope he proves throughout this season and, knock on wood, postseason, that he should get a big contract.
 
Waiting to see how much we're paying before saying this is an unqualified good move....however the fact it's only one year leaves me feeling that Fowler has will be playing all-out again next season. Gut feel says this is positive.

Based on last year also leaves me to think we may have our eyes on one or two Edge rushers in the draft we expect to reach the end of round three we can groom for the following year and we're looking at either OL or DL (or trade down) from round 1.
 
This allows them to go into the draft without fixating on a OLB pass rusher. Fowler flashed, but wasn't a consistent force when you account for the attention Donald and Suh were getting. He did give a boost compared to what we had before him though. I fully expect the Rams to bring in another veteran OLB though. Good on Snead for turning that 3rd rounder into a 2 year deal.
 
If he plays at the level he did after the trade, he will get a lot more on the open market next year than he would have this year. He will still only be 25, the age he would have been if his option had been picked up - so with a year of success he can really score on the contract.

As has been said, the Rams can develop people to replace him, probably a draftee this year, plus Obo. And with a one year contract, he could be gone right when Goff gets expensive, with no dead money.

I wanted him back @ a reasonable price. Surprised it was a one year deal. Good stuff. I thought he liked playing for the Rams and would give a little discount because of the stable environment. Could be his estimated value was lower than many thought. How about 6-8 Million and not 13 Million per year..

How about another one on the other side?
