Aaron Donald anyone?

[sjmike]

Saw an article saying he may be traded because the Rams can't sign him. Would you give up two first rounders for him which seems to be the asking price. He would put this defense over the top. Thoughts?

The problem isn’t two first rounders. It’s the contract he will demand. It just makes a crappy situation.

 

[blueblood70]

its apipe dream but it would be a better trade than ET as AD is younger and can effect the defense right away

N...

O..

!!!

Would you trade DLaw for Donald, straight across?

2 first rounders? Absolutely not.

Would you trade DLaw for Donald, straight across?

Yes. AD is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL. Why would the rams do that? DLaw is an outstanding player but Aaron Donald is way better. And why would Donald want less money here?. He's asking for top defensive dollars on the market, and deserves it. How could that even work here?

I'd do it.

If we ever got Irving, Donald, Taco & Gregory on the field together we'd be stronger than what we can put out at the moment IMO.

 

[J12B]

I would be open to trading a 1st rounder and Tyrone Crawford.

We maybe able to work out a long term deal with Donald if Crawford is off the books.

That's why they might trade him straight across.

I wouldnt trade DLaw. Too good. Wanna keep him around

 

[Verdict]

Wouldn't it be interesting if they traded Lawrence for Donald? Our defense might end up being much better, and the young DEs might fill the void nicely.

On the other hand maybe Donald couldn't beat out the legendary Antwaan Woods.

 

[J12B]

Why would the rams do this?

Because they get a 1st rounder and a somewhat decent DT to replace him right away.

There is no way a team is going to give up 2 first rounders for a DT and would get something decent in return.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

He is a great player but so was Suh and then the dolphins gave him 100million to help win a couple games a year. Better to draft 2 guys who can make plays than have 1 guy making plays.

 

[kskboys]

Love Donald, but you need a deep DL rotation, one guy doesn't do it.

 

[Sarge]

Rams better win it all in the next 2 years cause they're outta $ ( or at least they will be).

No, the Rams have quite a bit of cap room over the few seasons, under the current cap numbers, they have $58m in 2019, and $117m for 2020, the delay in the cap, is both Rams and Raiders are watiing to see who blinks first before offering their star DL players a new deal, as soon as the first gets a new deal, the 2nd will have to at least match it to a similar number, much like we did with Dez and Denver did with Thomas.

With Donald, Irving, D-Law, Woods, and letting the youngsters shake out I think we could be good. I think Crawford becomes odd man out.

Crawford is playing DE, not DT this season, and unless Donald is in your fantasy team, I would not worry too much about it.
