Rams are giving WR Brandin Cooks a five-year extension worth $80 million, tying him to LA for six years at $88 million, per source.

We'll see I guess.

I have a general rule to be skeptical about paying big money to a guy Belicheck doesn't seem to want anymore.

I know it's worked out some though.

Between this and what Mecca said I would be nervous if I were a Ram fan.

The fact that Watkins numbers aren't that far off when he missed half a season with his shithole QB's says something.

Exactly

But that’s not Oakland.

It’s more likely that he goes to SF.

He's in LA now and seems content.

Somebody's gonna pay him and probably make him the highest paid defender in history. If it isn't LA, so be it...

Having to play DL on the franchise Tag, when he's shown to be probably the best defender in the league isn't ideal.

But this won't change that. If the Rams believe they could get a deal on him by tagging him, they'll do it. Frankly, depending on the structure this may make their motivation to reach a deal with him next season rather than use the tag even stronger. They may need to push that base salary out a bit and spread a massive signing bonus.

This almost certainly changes nothing for him. They weren't gonna pay him just because they could. If he wanted significantly more than they wanted to pay anyway, they'd have tagged him either way.

Can't say good or bad without knowing guarantees.

They could have probably signed Watkins and kept their 1st round pick this year for the same price.

He’s a decoy, just like Watkins was. They’re just going to use him to attract coverage primarily.

Take that and add probably 15% and you know what we'll be looking at with Hill.

That's the most downer of a takeaway I can get from this - the knowledge that we have to enjoy this team while we can because it's gonna be hard as **** to keep it together past this 3 year window.

I still think there's a non-zero chance that we're going to see Houston's last year in KC this season. If he's simply the very good player he was last season vs. the true impact difference maker he was before his injuries, I don't think they pay him $21 million in 2019 when they could save $14 million and walk away.

You’re right. Doubtful that our offense is ever stacked again like it will be the next two years, at least in Pat’s career.

That’s perfect though. Help him the most when he is young and let his own development make other players look better at WR and TE in the future.

As for Houston, that should depend highly on the development of KPass and Speaks. If Houston is what he was in 2017 but those two both show a lot of progress, you might make the move. We’d still need to add someone there, however.

I actually think that OLB position might be pretty deep right now if those two are worth a damn.

The stadium building is progressing on schedule. The Vegas thing is happening. No turning back now.
