The Tennessee Titans and Los Angeles Rams agreed to a historic, pre-draft trade. At 9:30 PM ET yesterday, the Titans agreed to trade the number one overall pick along with their fourth (113) and sixth rounder (177) for the 15th pick and the Rams’ second (43, 45), third (76) rounders in addition to the Rams’...

For starters, any team emulating Jacksonville is likely to bring images of losing and futility. Rather, this piece focuses on the Rams’ emulation of the Jaguars’ 2014 NFL Draft. Jacksonville has been bad. Actually, calling them bad may be an insult to the word as it comes as a surprise that they even won four games in... Continue Reading →
It’s no secret that kickers and punters largely go unnoticed, often considered unappealing positions. They don’t score numerous touchdowns, make highlight-reel catches, or bone crushing hits, but very few fans ever forget the names of those ever-so eccentric kickers who missed big time kicks (looking at you Scott Norwood, Gary Anderson, and Blair Walsh). What... Continue Reading →
News broke yesterday that the Los Angeles Rams signed former Tennessee Titans corner Coty Sensabuagh to a 3-year/$19 million contract. The move certainly raised some eyebrows as many are unfamiliar with the four-year pro from Clemson who has recorded a mere two interceptions in his career. Regardless, he was thrust into the Titans’ starting lineup... Continue Reading →
News released today, stating that the New York Jets and their free agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick are “far apart” in contract negotiations. Following Sam Bradford’s two-year, $36 million contract, sources believe Fitz is seeking $16-$18 million while the Jets have him valued at $8-$10 million, a rather remarkable blunder that letting him walk would be: Fitz...

At approximately 11:30 PST today, the Los Angeles Rams announced they (rather unsurprisingly) cut veterans Jared Cook, James Laurinaitis, and Chris Long, saving nearly $24 million in cap space. Cutting Cook made the most sense of the three that were released as he was due $8.3 million in 2016. Throughout his career, Cook has been an inconsistent... Continue Reading →
While writing this title, I noticed it began with “St. Louis.” Clearly this is going to take some getting used to. Regardless, let’s take a look at some news surrounding L.A.’s re-appointed franchise. With the Philadelphia Eagles appointing Doug Pederson as their new head coach, their current interim head coach and offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur... Continue Reading →
Despite St. Louis’ efforts to keep the Rams in St. Louis (the St. Louis Board of Aldermen passed a measure to put about $150 million in city money toward the proposed $1 billion-plus stadium on the city’s north riverfront on December 18, 2015), owner Stan Kroenke was able to push the Rams to the 24 necessary...

After finishing 7-9, let’s take a look at the positives and negatives from this season. Negatives: The Rams finished under .500 for the fourth time in as many years under head coach Jeff Fisher; he has not coached a team to a winning record since 2008. The offense was abysmal, ranking 29th in points and... Continue Reading →
