...to the Rams for a 3rd and a 5th.  Considering they are going to be late in the round picks I don't think this was enough.

At least we have Smoot and Bryan...

Whoa, seriously?! To the Rams?

How are the Rams affording this?

He is on a rookie contract right now, resining him after this season will be the hard part.

Wow, late 3rd and 5th round picks for the 3rd overall pick in the draft 3 years ago?

Again, how does David Caldwell still have a job? Good God!

More importantly I think this speaks on the front offices confidence on the team righting the ship.

Goff is on a rookie contract. Untill hes due they have him for cheap

We traded a role player for a 3rd and 5th round pick. Yes he was our first overall selection a few years back but Yan being taken in the 3rd the next year kind of negates that miss IMO. Good deal for a player 8 games away from playing with another team anyway. Why people are criticizing Caldwell is beyond me

Exactly. Maybe it gives us a bit of ammo to move up in the first round for a QB though.

Yeah, two future picks for a backup is more than most would have anticipated for Fowler. We weren't re-signing him at the end of the season, so getting something for a guy who has been, for the most part, underwhelming is a good thing.

He is stupid but Khan is even more stupid and will retain him.

I get that it is good from a point of we weren't retaining him anyway, but this is now 2 top 5 picks Caldwell has made that are no longer on the roster. That isn't acceptable.

No brainer deal, think he'll do better in LA too.

This says a lot. Let the mini-rebuild begin. Up next, QB.

We weren't going to bring him back, and we got considerably more than he would have returned as a compensatory pick. Good deal for us

I am a big fan of this trade because 1) he was gone in 8 games 2) max comp pick we were getting is a 3rd 3) we get a higher 3rd than the comp pick 4) we also get a future 5th 5) This is a DEEP pass rusher class

We get a little compensation back for a player who's been a disappointment. Fresh start good for everyone.

That’s a win if I’ve ever seen one. Two picks for a guy who was gone anyway and the Rams get a 8 game rental.

Agreed! I like the trade but this is telling that he wasn’t needed for our run this year and we’re giving up on 2018. I hope he doesn’t resign with the rams as they’re stacked.
