News: ESPN: Sources: Browns, Rams finalizing Myles Garrett blockbuster trade

This trade really has nothing to dp with us besides the matchup this year. We need to overcome philly before we think about the rams. But whatever
:hammer:Correct they need to overcome themselves they need to just keep rebuilding and focusing on coveting thy neighbors like fans love to do it does not have anything to do with the Dallas Cowboys at all you shouldn't be comparing trade with Parsons like Clarence Hill did anything to bring the Cowboys into the story they will do it to get clicks this has nothing to do with the Parsons trade this has nothing to do with Cowboys but Miles Gary is clearly better than Parsons either way I believe the Rams overpaid but that's my opinion but hey they're in that position the Cowboys aren't..
 

The Rams will be very good, but I've always felt that's more credit to their HC than their roster.

The Rams have only had 2 first round draft picks since drafting Goff in 2016. They just traded away one of them, and the other is Ty Simpson.

Their roster is going to continue feeling those holes. They are not 'stacked'. They are top heavy and aging.
 
The Seahawks and Rams were the two best teams in the NFL last year, in my opinion. Rams have catapulted ahead with this move and have to open the season as Super Bowl favorites.
I don't even know what team I would put in third place and honestly it feels like a pretty big gap between those two & whoever is 3-5.

Of course injuries and other things CAN derail any team so it's not a certainty ... but today I would put money on those two playing the NFCCG again.

It could benefit us. Seahawks might want to upgrade their receiving corp now and be willing to offer some goodies for Pickens.

They haven't had high picks but they have absolutely killed it with the picks they had. And of course they have brought in quality free agents. Their average age is 26.35 which ranks in the middle of the NFL based on the results i got.

Exactly. The Cowboys don't play the Rams until the middle of December and it's only one game.

We need to worry about getting into the playoffs before worrying about who they (might) face if they get there.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm not saying they're devoid of talent completely. They've done a good job with their later round picks, but what I'm saying is that their strong coaching has elevated that talent they've been given.

To me, stacked would be something like the 2024 Eagles. All-Pro and Pro-Bowl players strewn throughout with good depth.

And what I meant by they're 'aging' is that their blue chip talent listed (Stafford, Adams, and to a lesser extent, Garrett) are aging.
 
They traded away the player that just set the all time NFL sack record
only a football idiot would call that one only a very good player
or that the player they received in return is also a very good player.
 
That's the overpay. My guess is the Rams didn't want to pay him the extension he was going to eventually get. The Rams probably think, despite that, they improved their team. They probably did. But the Browns got a good deal too.
Agreed, you’d figure the goal would be to pair them. Yeah sure Garrett is an upgrade but not at that cost.

But one fact remains…if they weren’t the SB favorites before, they certainly are now. They don’t seem to be into trying to create a dynasty, but happy to go extremely all in with one group, win one, then put it back together and go again. That makes full sense to me given the rules. Jerry and son continue to attempt to try to defeat the tide and recreate the 90s in the cap era.

All fair comments. But remember they added McDuffie & Watson to upgrade the secondary. Now with Garrett & the potential of Donald coming out of retirement to join what was already a very good front. That is a strong offseason for a team that was 5 points short of probably winning the SuperBowl. I completely agree that coaching helps them but don't discount how much Stafford (even with some age on him) stirs that drink as well. About the only place they didn't obviously upgrade was WR & with their track record I wouldn't put it past their 6th round pick being a contributor.

IMO, their fan base should be very excited they are truly doing everything possible to win now.

For the first 2 quarters.
 
Even if they win the SB, I think the Rams overpaid. He is 30, he might have 2 GOOD years left. 3 at the very most as these guys tend to fall off the cliff fast after 30. They gave up a guy who is already pretty good and getting better, who is much much younger and much cheaper plus they gave up a 1, 2 and a 3. Not to mention the massive contract they took on. That's nuts IMO.
