That franchise is a mess. I could see this being true. If so, just add this to the list.  They are in draught era bills territory for mismanaged front offices/ownership

 

"16 months ago, the Los Angeles Rams offered two first-round picks (2024, 2025) and a second-round pick (2023) to the Carolina Panthers for the services of edge-rusher Brian Burns, and the Panthers turned the Rams down."

They may have called the Rams to ask them, hey you still wanna do that deal.

I want to go on record and state that I would have signed austin eckler to the deal he got in washington.  

 

He is a poor man's barkley to me and could make a ton of big explosive plays here.

I love Ekeler, and that is a good deal.  I suspect the Bills would have been interested but for Cook really coming on.

For the last time….the team does not need to be “under the cap” until Wednesday.

 

No, but we need to have things in place to guarantee we are after the signings are made. Now that we've done Josh and Knox and extended Dion, those options are drying up. We're probably 7 or 8 under right now as a rough estimate.

I was expecting at least one decent external signing today

 

If only someone had warned you that you'd be better off lowering your expectations....

The Rams offered MULTIPLE first rounders last year and the Panthers didn't answer. Now they got a second and a fifth. 

 

Joke of a franchise. 

There's a video out there covering how terrible that ownership is.

Couldn't happen to a better, meddling, jerk of an owner than Tepper.

Dang, I guess the punt god really is going to be the KC punter.  Those bastards, 

Townsend is a great punter, so this is a good thing.

 

Punters, though...

Jeeze. The Rams sure don't care about their draft picks. That is a reckless offer. And the Panthers are moronic for not accepting that.

They’re always thinking a step ahead of everyone. They could potentially get the same (or better performance) for a fraction of the price tag with punt god.

Ya they have a very reckless strategy.  Helps when you hit on elite day 3 picks (Puka,Kyren Williams)

It’s time for Beane After Dark 

 

We're somewhere between 5 and 7.5m under right now and have, give or take, about 14-15 roster spots  unaccounted for, including multiple starters. 

 

As far as I can tell, there's really just an Ed Oliver restructure and a potential Taron Johnson extension, that may or may not come, as far as more savings go. Maybe a Milano or Diggs restructure?

 

Having to make concessions on not getting the full restructure on Josh and not being able to come to terms on an extension for Douglas, settling on a small restructure instead really hurt our projected pool of spending money.

 

In short, I wouldn't expect much more, if anything tonight. Though I'd love to be wrong.

we should be involved in the discussion regardless just to drive the price up KC would have to pay

 

That's not really how it works. Beane has prices he's willing to pay for guys. He'll call and feel it out. Give his number, maybe go back and forth a little, sign the guy if he likes it or pass if it's more than he's willing to go.

 

He's not going to throw out a number he's not comfortable with or go after someone he doesn't have in his plans just to drive up the price for someone else and possibly be stuck with a deal he didn't want to do.
