If I had to guess, I think Rams end up getting extensions done with Shelton and Fuller. Lose Dotson and Witherspoon and grab a mid level vet edge and corner with a few other moves ahead of draft.

I'd agree with the Shelton part but I would be disappointed with the Fuller vs Witherspoon.

I suspect they think they can get a decent extension done for Fuller and value his leadership. It sure sounds like they're gonna let Witherspoon test the market and believe he'll get a contract more than they would pay.

This board seems to take guys for granted-- until we get a replacement that sucks. Seen it happen at so many positions over the years.

Shelton seems like a smart, adequate player who's reliable and gets the protections right. Yeah we'll have to overpay to keep him, but that's just the nature of free agency. I bet many on here will whine about his contract if we are able to keep him.

With a pair of 330 lb OGs next to him, then he is fine.

Yep. Same thing with the debate over paying Dotson. Unless he asks for way above market value, we should absolutely pay him. People forget what happened when we lost Saffold and Sullivan the same year. OL went to shit.

Or rookie starter with Shelton as a backup? Not likely I know but I want to see what Stafford can do with an across the board elite OL. Find that 3rd WR, upgrade from Higbee at TE and bam. Top 3 offense.

If we pay Shelton a market contract, why would we pick a rookie to start?

With an elite OL across the board, we better be the #1 offense. We were #7 this year.

This is the possibility as Shelton as an 1-2 year depth player which is would be excellent as in regards to the G/C positions. If they are targeting a legit and dominate C Like JPJ they'd be in the making of SB starting OL and depth chart.

So we'll pay him starter money to play a depth role? Aren't we already doing that with Boom?

They’d have to keep Dotson, though, for that to happen this year.

Agreed, or find another unique rooking like Avila in the draft.

Again, going right over your head. Nobody here is saying paying him top starting C money, it all depends what Shelton and his agent thinks he's worth which you, me, or anybody on this board have no idea what that is at this point.

Dude, I didn't say top center money. I said starter money. Come on, if we can't have a conversation in good faith, what's the point?
