Von Miller traded to Rams

[TwoCentPlain]

Miller is an UFA after the season ends. He has a base salary of $17.5M. I guess the Tams will have to sign him long term or they have to have about $9M in cap room.

No way I am giving up two draft picks, eating $9M in cap for a 32-year old injury prone player on the last year of his contract.

 

[Stash]

Nice of the Broncos but me personally see more value in a 2nd & 3rd round draft pick for 4 years than Miller for 10 games.

I guess it depends on how you’re building. And if you believe in striking while the iron is hot.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Miller has been nicked up for the better part of the last three years. He'll get hurt and be out or playing at 75%.

I mean that was suppose to be the Ramsey deal. Then that was suppose to be the Stafford deal...they are saying it after all these moves....I mean it could work. I've just never seen nothing like this. I think the issue is the Rams are flawed even with these moves.

I would agree that it seldom works but they did manage to carry Goff to a super bowl so they have some credibility and success with their methods......lets Hope it backfires on them with too many egos to be fed

Interesting thing about all of those teams is none of them are defensive juggernauts. The team with the best chance is going to be the defense who peaks is the best by years end....

they all have potential on defense to peak when it counts all of them including us have solid defense with potential to be explosive..

what GB did to the cards was impressive i mean GB is more dangerous now then in years past because they have 2 RBs and the willingness to run with Rogers Adams and now the defense is stepping up.. the rams defense is very good bucs at any time can find themselves on defense like last year..they have the talent just have been playing down right now..cards have a solid defense

really better said is none have bad defense they are very good with potential to be great,..

that why Rams are one for me most complete team all 4 phases O, D, ST, and coaching and now add Von..

Von Miller is 32, hasn't had a sack in the last 4 games, and is averaging about 2.5 tackles per game.

It IS a good short-term addition to the Rams, but this is not the same player from years past.

Broncos get a 2nd and 3rd round pick and a ton of cap space, so it's not an awful trade for them, as they are in rebuilding mode.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

More clamoring for a 32 year old. lol

They will learn that you don't win with these players. They need to be supporting your young talent. I don't see much of that with the Rams.

 

[Stash]

The salary isn't the issue. I mean the draft picks aren't for them but like I said the Cowboys tend to be able to draft well and trading both 2nd and 3rd picks put you in a hole. The minute we signed Dak to that contract draft picks became a premium because you get cheap talent for 4 years. Rams don't care about picks so I get why they are doing it. Bronco's made out nice I mean you were going to cut him and got a 2nd and 3rd rounder for him? Man.

Whoever said they were going to cut him?

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Les Snead must really hate drafting.

What cap space? They’re paying the rest of Miller’s salary.

 

[Carson]

Fuller was benched two or so games ago for playing terrible. No thanks.

Their defense has been average. His body of work outshines his last few.

But I’m just throwing names out. I couldn’t care less if we didn’t land Fuller lol

 

[blueblood70]

our help is coming from Tank and Gallimore..we will be fine

 

[Reid1boys]

Aint no way in hell they would trade one of the five best edge rushers in the game for that.. I will need to see it to believe it.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Miller is an unrestricted free agent and would likely have left next year anyways. Broncos are going nowhere this year and they just got two additional draft picks for someone that was gonna leave anyways.

 

[TwoCentPlain]

A second and a third? Ridiculous to give that much. Look at what the Cowboys have been getting in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

 

[blueblood70]

I would not bank on that. I like Von Miller but I don't think this 1 move all of a sudden makes the Rams favorites. Rams will also have to figure out what they will do after the season since he is a FA at the end of this year.

they were already favorites is my point..

 

[Reid1boys]

How do they find the cap?

Miller was only making 722k this year and he is an UFA next year.

Its a 3 month rental

 

[Mr_437]

“Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Broncos are paying $9 million of Miler’s remaining $9.7 million salary.”

They also don’t have to pay him anything.

Those have to be some high draft picks for DEN to eat Miller's salary.

Snead runs his teams like a NBA franchise.

 

[Runwildboys]

Holy crap, I would've given them 2 day 2 picks and a day 3 pick!

I saw the Rams yesterday and they were constantly bringing up how poor their special teams is....are you sure they are complete there?

That’s not accurate.
