POST #48 Elvis wrote:Didn't we tender Brown at 2 mil for one year? Seems like a great deal if we want to match...By giving him an original-round tender, the Rams were going to pay Brown $2.025 million next season. Unless they signed him to an extension, he would become an unrestricted free agent in 2020, allowing anywhere with no strings attached.It’s entirely possible the Rams could actually save money on Brown in 2019 by matching Detroit’s offer sheet. With only $1 million guaranteed and an annual salary of about $1.6 million, the Rams seem to have caught a major break by Detroit coming in so low with its offer.If they were willing to pay Brown $2.025 million for one season, surely they’d be happy to pay him at most $3.25 million for two years, right? Especially if his cap hit is lower in 2019, which it likely is.At worst, the Rams could match the offer and if things don’t work out, they can easily cut ties with him after next season without much dead money, if any at all. So if matching the offer benefits the Rams, why wouldn’t Los Angeles do just that?Well, if the coaching staff wasn’t sold on Brown as Todd Gurley’s backup, it now has an easy out. The Rams can decline to match it and move on from Brown, freeing up the $2.025 million in cap space he would’ve taken up. They’re somewhat strapped for cash after signing Clay Matthews to a two-year deal worth up to $16.75 million, so any added money could help them out.If they feel C.J. Anderson is the better option at RB2, that $2 million might go a long way toward signing him instead of keeping Brown. Or perhaps the coaches are comfortable with John Kelly as the primary backup and want to simply recoup the money from Brown by letting him leave.All of those scenarios are very possible, but matching the Lions’ offer seems to obvious not to happen. For an extra $1.2 million, the Rams can get an added year of control over their backup running back. And if Sean McVay truly does feel Brown is as valuable as he indicated last year, it’d be shocking to see Los Angeles let him walk.“Yeah, that would be a big loss,” McVay said of Brown in December after the running back injured his shoulder. “It would be a huge loss because of what Malcolm means to our football team – not only for our offense, but for our special teams.”Expect the Rams to match the Lions’ offer sheet and keep Brown, given the low price it’ll take to make it happen.LINKSure sounds like a no brainer and a huge "thank you" to the Detroit Lions for lowering our cap hit on Brown!!!!

POST #48 Elvis wrote:Didn't we tender Brown at 2 mil for one year? Seems like a great deal if we want to match...By giving him an original-round tender, the Rams were going to pay Brown $2.025 million next season. Unless they signed him to an extension, he would become an unrestricted free agent in 2020, allowing anywhere with no strings attached.It’s entirely possible the Rams could actually save money on Brown in 2019 by matching Detroit’s offer sheet. With only $1 million guaranteed and an annual salary of about $1.6 million, the Rams seem to have caught a major break by Detroit coming in so low with its offer.If they were willing to pay Brown $2.025 million for one season, surely they’d be happy to pay him at most $3.25 million for two years, right? Especially if his cap hit is lower in 2019, which it likely is.At worst, the Rams could match the offer and if things don’t work out, they can easily cut ties with him after next season without much dead money, if any at all. So if matching the offer benefits the Rams, why wouldn’t Los Angeles do just that?Well, if the coaching staff wasn’t sold on Brown as Todd Gurley’s backup, it now has an easy out. The Rams can decline to match it and move on from Brown, freeing up the $2.025 million in cap space he would’ve taken up. They’re somewhat strapped for cash after signing Clay Matthews to a two-year deal worth up to $16.75 million, so any added money could help them out.If they feel C.J. Anderson is the better option at RB2, that $2 million might go a long way toward signing him instead of keeping Brown. Or perhaps the coaches are comfortable with John Kelly as the primary backup and want to simply recoup the money from Brown by letting him leave.All of those scenarios are very possible, but matching the Lions’ offer seems to obvious not to happen. For an extra $1.2 million, the Rams can get an added year of control over their backup running back. And if Sean McVay truly does feel Brown is as valuable as he indicated last year, it’d be shocking to see Los Angeles let him walk.“Yeah, that would be a big loss,” McVay said of Brown in December after the running back injured his shoulder. “It would be a huge loss because of what Malcolm means to our football team – not only for our offense, but for our special teams.”Expect the Rams to match the Lions’ offer sheet and keep Brown, given the low price it’ll take to make it happen.LINKSure sounds like a no brainer and a huge "thank you" to the Detroit Lions for lowering our cap hit on Brown!!!!
