Do you think Aaron Donald is crying about state tax and wishing he was a Jaguar because of it?  Probably not.

So in trading him to the Rams, not only do we get the two first rounders and the fourth rounder, we are now able to use the money we would have used to sign Ramsey, and instead sign one or two top quality free agents.  

So in effect, from this trade we get the draft picks PLUS a couple of players.  Think of it that way.

Look at it this way: what if the Rams had traded us the two first rounders and the fourth rounder, plus for example Marcus Peters?  Marcus Peters will be a free agent at the end of this year.  What if we use some (or most) of the money we would have used to re-sign Ramsey, and instead sign Marcus Peters?  In effect, by dealing Ramsey and not paying him, we got the draft picks plus the player.

Fix the O-Line!
