Maybe the change of scenery helps. The guys been garbage and weighs like 160 lbs so picking up his rookie contract kind of sucks but it is what it is. Hope for the best.

Love it.
He's been a shitty player.. but is a plus athlete with good size.
Hopefully he can be coached up.

Well worth the chance if the first round pedigree is in him. I just don't know how these guys can be that small.

Very undersized

Very much played like garbage, Commodes secondary after Lattimore is bad and they still cut a former 1st round pick in his second year that screams terrible

But our secondary isn't good. I'd have rather signed him after he cleared waivers but again hope the change of scenery does this midget good :)

Haven't watched him specifically or anything but there's a lot of talk that he was shit vs the run. Joe Whitt was known with Dallas to have strong corner run support and it seems like that was a big problem area.

Looking at the Rams Durant has improved a ton vs the run. He's not good at it or anything but he doesn't hesitate or creatively position himself to avoid contact. So maybe the Rams can get this kid to hone a style that gets the job done.

On the positive side when you have the speed he has and just like I said way back when with Durant... IF your cover skills are strong enough you can be shitty vs the run and still carry your weight. Deion was proof of that. Of course none of these guys are gonna be Deion, but at least now we have some talent added to this group.

At less than 170 lbs, I’d think he’d be weak in the run game. We are a little desperate I guess at the position.

DAMN RIGHT WE PICKED HIM UP!

Again, he's only twenty-three, has no character issues, and has oodles of potential for a secondary that has struggled.

I see no reason we shouldn't have picked him up, and I trust McSnead on this.

The battles between this dude and Tutu in practice are going to be insane when defense is doing press coverage.

Who do you think we drop for him? Maybe Woods?
 
An old coach once said, "you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. I like seeing the Rams take a low risk move in an attempt to improve a position of weakness, during the season. I still think CB should be the #1 priority this off season.
