Rams gave up a 2nd and 3rd for Miller. Seems a little steep for someone his age. Hopefully the Bears blow things up and get back some draft picks even if they’re only late round picks but o doubt they do that

Just watching this video of Jalen talking about how he's been lucky to play with great defensive lines. So he pressures the receiver in coverages is consistent. He's happy https://twitter.com/jalenramsey/stat...vUoLrTTGA&s=19

The Broncos weren’t going to be able to re-sign him this off-season and they aren’t worried about this year so they got a pretty good return all things considered.

For a 2nd and 3rd...

I guess he’s trending down (8 sacks 2019, missed a year 2020, 4.5 through half a season now) but damn. Of course it’s not all about sacks, but that force off the edge is what the Rams are paying for. And these will be very late in the round. Rams are aggressive as heck on the trade market, and this seems like it should return on the investment pretty well.

End of an era in Denver. Must be thrilling to be able to join the Rams and have a shot instantly to win the SB.

The Rams are using picks to effectively buy cap space from other teams. They threw in extra picks in the Goff trade to get Detroit to eat his deal, and they did the same here to get Denver to pay Miller's salary.

That’s good insight. They’re truly zagging as most teams zig and hoard draft picks. Seems like the Rams have been doing the all-in this year approach for years now. Basically since McVay gave them stability at coaching and they’ve been able to plug in different players at QB and RB.

That Rams-Packers game is gonna be something else in a few weeks, especially if we can have Jaire and Z back by then.

Seems wide open this year, why not go for it? I like the trade for the Rams.
