Dear Los Angeles Rams fans Dominique Easley Jersey ,eam’s loss to the New England Patriots is real and painful. Not only did the Rams lose a winnable game, the offense, which was by far one of the best in the NFL, played terribly.Beyond the criticism rightfully leveled at Head Coach, Sean McVay’s playcalling and poor performance by QB Jared Goff, we must put the loss in prospective. First and foremost, our head coach is just 33-years old; our quarterback is 24. The pairing of these will go well beyond just this season, and each has learned from the experiences of the entire season, including the Super Bowl.Second, the future is bright for the Rams. While there will be many changes to squad next year, especially on the defensive side of the ball, any team with DT Aaron Donald is a damn good starting point.Third the organization has proven they’re committed to putting a winning product on the field. Consequently, I have confidence that players replacing current starters, who leave the squad, will be able to step right into the line-up. They might even be better.When I look back over decades of Rams football http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-ndamukong-suh-jersey , the loss we suffered in the Super Bowl is tempered with a sunny southern California outlook towards the future.I am sure that next year, when the Rams reach Super Bowl LIV, they’ll win it!It may be that for many Ram fans emotions are raw right now. That’s completely understandable. It’s not gonna make you feel any better that 30 other teams didn’t make the big game. But the reality is every other fan of teams that didn’t make the Super Bowl wishes they could be where the Rams were and are.In two short years, the Rams turned around a pitiful 4-12 team to one in the Super Bowl, so try to imagine what its gonna look like when McVay is the same age as Bill Belichick or Wade Phillips.If you think I’m not taking the loss hard enough, that’s simply not true. But having been watching Rams football since the late 1950’s, this is truly the first time, I’ve come away from a loss in the Super Bowl, knowing we’ll back there real soon. McVay said it best when he stated he got outcoached, plain and simple. He’ll learn from his mistakes and correct the errors.I am extremely proud of the strides and accomplishments this 2018 Rams team made this season. Losing the Super Bowl is not the end of the world as seasons come and seasons go. I will fondly remember our 2018 NFC Champions, but more memorable will be our team, poised and ready to be next year’s Super Bowl Champion.GO RAMS! Sosa take’s a look at the current state of the roster, the dedicated salary cap amount, and the potential players that could be released."With the NFL Scouting Combine officially here, the NFL’s true beginning to the offseason is upon us. This next week is going to be the culmination of every representative of every NFL team bunched up in one building John Franklin-Myers Jersey , and as we all know, this is where discussions begin. Discussions of player trades, negotiating prices between agents and General Mangers for players to re-sign, and even the illegal tampering period (you didn’t hear it from me) is under full effect.With all that being said, this is when a lot of NFL players will realize their current clubs will head in a different direction, meaning there will likely be a handful of veterans (if not more) that’ll find their way into the free agent pool.So, that begs the question, who are the players that could be released by the Los Angeles Rams?Let’s take a look at some possible options:ILB Mark BarronBarron is the most likely candidate to be released as he’s simply paid too high of an amount.Barron is a 29-year old linebacker who transitioned from safety many years ago after the Rams secured him in a trade from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Barron actually turned out to be a fantastic addition as his physicality, nasty demeanor, and lack of fear proved the transition to be the correct move. The issue becomes his price tag ($9.6m for the 2019 season) and his inability to stay healthy. Barron hasn’t played a full season since 2016 and has seemingly missed a ton of offseason and in-season training the past two years due to nagging injuries. Releasing Barron would save the Rams $6.3m on the cap this year, though they’d also eat a penalty of $3.3m. Barron is currently the sixth highest paid ILB in football, and with the current quality of his play, it doesn’t make financial sense to keep him around at that figure.C John SullivanThis transaction will be tougher to gauge because of the potential of Sully retiring. My guess is he does, but if he doesn’t, he could be on the chopping block. Sully has been a godsend for the Rams as his veteran leadership and ability to coordinate the offensive line/make line calls has been a tremendous help for a young QB like Jared Goff. Though he’s been fantastic http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-marcus-peters-jersey , it seems as if his play on the field has been in a steady decline as he’s no longer in his prime at 33-years old. Sully’s current cap number is $6.25m, $5.25m of which the Rams could recoup if they decide to move on (penalty of $1m).DT Michael BrockersThis will be the toughest decision for the Rams to make, simply because Brockers is a fantastic leader, teammate, and a long-time veteran Ram. Typically, Brockers has been a stalwart on the interior defensive line with his fantastic propensity to play the run at a high level, and he even offers a bit of pass rush productivity. Unfortunately for Brock, his play in 2018 was not what we’ve become used to seeing from the 28-year old defensive tackle. Brockers is the 14th-highest paid interior defensive lineman in the league as it stands as his current cap hit is $11m. The Rams would free up $10.25m by releasing him, only eating a $750k penalty. The main issue here is that fellow defensive lineman DT Ndamukong Suh and DE Ethan Westbrooks are upcoming free agents, making the situation along the defensive line murky.WR Michael ThomasMike Thomas’ career with the Rams has been a strange one as he came into the league with some potential but hasn’t had the opportunity to show it, nor has he done himself any favors by being suspended. Thomas’ release frees up $720k on the cap and only costs the Rams $29k in cap penalties.(All figures used from Over the Cap)
