Twitter: Rams Release LB Clay Matthews

[big dog cowboy]

Only played 16 games in a season 4 out of 11 seasons.

If MM wants him and the $$$ not too expensive......he would be a good rotational player, IMO

 

[joseephuss]

The Rams had a terrible defense last season. Matthews is not a fit in the 4-3 system.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Maybe if he didn’t want to be a starter. It’s not a bad thing to put a vet on this defense

 

[Stash]

Based on what we're looking at at RDE currently?

Nobody has the right to turn their noses up at anybody.

 

[Verdammung]

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but if you sign a FA that's been cut instead of one whose contract has expired, it doesn't count against your compensatory draft picks?

 

[dwmyers]

Q is, can he still rush the passer and how much would he cost? You can drop in a RL into a classic DE slot on 3rd and 20. Tyron Crawford can handle the running downs.

D-

I think it could work a lot on 3rd downs. Imagine Gregory, McCoy, Lawrence and Matthews.

Really like idea of rotating Matthews and Gregory.

 

[Bowdown27]

A 1 year deal may suffice for Clay.

That’s my thought.

 

[Vtwin]

Don't like the guy because he is a cheap shot artist who got shots on Romo and Dak.

However, if he were our cheap shot artist my heart might soften a bit.

He does have some DOG in him and this defense needs some of that.

No, You're right.

 

[cowboy_ron]

Team friendly deal? Why not

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Before anyone asks, NO.

 

[Praxit]

..you know Big Mike, will be looking at this situation. Clay is faster and bigger than Lee. Had more sacks then our LB crew and he's older..lol.. Wouldn't be surprised if Dallas picks him up.

 

[John813]

Refs will be throwing flags as soon as he gets within 2 steps of a QB lol

 

[Corso]

So should we sign him if it's a...

Before anyone asks, NO.

Damn. NVM.

 

[cowboyec]

i'd take a shot.
good player.

 

[G2]

Late hitter

I think it could work a lot on 3rd downs. Imagine Gregory, McCoy, Lawrence and Matthews.

In the lineup that you propose, who would be the other DT besides McCoy? Gregory and Matthews are both in the 255 lb range.
