    EJ Gaines? Does that mean no Malcolm Butler or trying to get both?

    Wish we'd cut KJax and sign Gaines and Butler

    Gaines is close with Trumaine Johnson. Rams players.

    I would think Gaines could get 7 mill a year. Johnson, I’m guessing 12-13 per year.

    Similar to the year we got Joseph and Manning instead of paying a high price for Asomugha.

    Except for the fact that Johnson is considered the top CB on the market.

    I keep seeing Butler could get more but I feel Johnson is better.

    Yeah but can players agree to sign now? Or they have to wait to agree to anything? It makes me anxious that no one has agreed to sign with us yet.

    Gaines had a big part in the trade to acquire EJ Gaines while in Buffalo.

    Beginning new league year. Trades become official, salary cap compliance, qualifying offers, minimum salary tenders, exercise options, etc.
