To help the draft along, I think we bring in FS Atogwe from the Rams and check his shoulder out and make him a 5yr $25 mil with $12 mil. guaranteed offer. This make the Rams to do something before the draft instead of playing the waiting game.

Would LOVE to see us do that.

there is a blog post in the herald today about why no one wants to do that--the rams want that to happen so they can just match. once 4/15 rolls around they no longer have the right of first refusal. I don't want to get locked into a bad contract the rams would never match just to get it done early. I'd rather wait, even if it means getting close to or after the draft. And hey, if Berry falls to us and we take him, we wouldn't need atagwe anyway

No chance Berry falls to 12. And offer a fair deal for Atogwe, if the Rams match, so what. We gave it a chance at least and tried.

If the Rams match so be it, if they don't, he's ours. Im not gonna run my team in fear of the Rams. Offer what you think the best deal to offer is that is fair and reasonable. The Rams can do what they want from there.

That is what I mean. Why wait if we get him that is one less spot we have to draft and wait for him to mature.
