So much for me saying they like him

Jon Toth in the draft anyone?

 

[Dodgersrf]

Wow.
Ok, something must be in the works.

 

[FaulkSF]

Wow. That was a surprise! I'd rather they cut Kendricks because of his lack of effort run and pass blocking, and his lack of taking responsibility for mental lapses on drops. As a veteran, young players look up to your leadership. Lead by example!

Best off season move Rams have made next to signing Whitworth. It also proves they recognize what we have all been saying for 3+ seasons, Tim Barnes is NOT a starting center I guess they went a step further and figure he isn't even a backup center.

I expect them to sign a FA center before FA is done. Mangold or Kelce for a couple years?

 

[A55VA6]

That frees up around $3M. Now we just have to find a new Center.

 

[HitStick]

Bring on the Tru for Kelce!

 

[12intheBox]

I wonder if a new center is on the roster already.

[Mr. Walker]

Wow.

Yeah, they are drafting someone. I like Elfein from Ohio State.

 

[DR RAM]

Bring on the Tru for Kelce!

Throw a pick in there, and yes, this is what I was thinking. I'd hope we'd get the pick.A few good centers in the draft too.

:effemine:


Prepare for @woofwoofmo meltdown.

 

[TheDYVKX]

@woofwoofmo I'm genuinely sorry that your friend got cut. I think this is the right move for the organization though, and I wish him luck with his next team.

I bought into the kool-aide.

Still thought that was a place for depth.
There are 2 FA centers that make sense. Maybe 4 now ??

I commend his effort, but ultimately, the ability wasn't there. Maybe he could have been salvagable as a backup absent the coaching malpractice of the last few seasons, but nevertheless this is a position the Rams need to upgrade. And this move says they clearly recognize that.

The day is young.

I think most expect a C in this draft. But to go all in on one before the draft is odd. There certainly has to be a back up plan and I don't see Rhaney as an option. As bad as Barnes was, Rhaney certainly isn't an improvement. In addition, Rhaney chop-block style of play is now illegal.

Didn't I hear talk about Donnal working at center some?

 

[Mr. Walker]

Didn't I hear talk about Donnal working at center some?

I hope not, that's probably a downgrade from Barnes.

 

[Riverumbbq]

Didn't I hear talk about Donnal working at center some?

I believe it was Wichmann, although I don't think anyone has him penciled in as the starter.
