I guess he turned heads last night

Westbrooks has been improving and under Phillips scheme and Bill Johnson tutelage should continue to grow.

It just seems a bit odd! to extend someone only one year and give them a pay cut at the same time!

Maybe AD held out because the Rams offered him the same kind of deal?:headexplosion:

Maybe making room for AD's new contract?

Bingo @Tron . You nailed it. Those few bucks probably bumps Aaron over some threshold.

I have liked Westbrooks from day one when they picked him up as a UDFA.
Reading up on the guy I liked what I heard and I had a real good feeling that he was a hard worker with natural athletic ability.

Quinn looked good which means we now have depth at outside linebacker and defensive end.

 

[So Ram]

Westbrooks is just a cool guy.

Maybe we just needed that half million to sneak in a new contract for AD? One can dream.

But good signing, I like it.

He was the best pass rusher @ DE last season. He should have started in place of Eugene Sims. Ethan can play any of the DL positions in a 43 or 34. What is there not to like?

I really like what Longacre has done, too.

Good call.
What a bunch of serious high-motor guys at DE and OLB.

We have the two draft picks with Smart and Ekuban.
They found Longacre.
Quinn is back.
They just signed Westbrooks.
Josh Forrest made some big plays too.

Our depth looked good on the defensive back end too.

Pretty cheap. I like it.

 

[Barrison]

You earned it Westbrooks, well deserved.

 

[Akrasian]

Just proves that the Rams are willing to extend their DL. <ducking>

Gotta give Fisher and Co. credit for finding some great UDFA depth with Westbrooks, Longacre and Fox. That is some really good value for Ethan's contract IMO.

Not to mention Ejuan Price as a draft pick, and Morgan Fox as a UDFA. Also, Forrest was cut, but Littleton made an insane amount of plays on special teams, as well as causing the fumble on the safety.

You're right.
I meant Littleton, thanks.

He played well yesterday...
