I understand yall are mad but don't be mad at the players. We had earlier years to lock Jalen down and did not.


Jalen is not with our team anymore, we got 2 picks for him so no point to still be mad at him but we are back to being trash again, because we let all of our good players good and are in a so called rebuild, be mad the the front office.

The problem was money just like it was for Yan, and thank God we didnt give him a new contract.  He isnt close to worth what contract he got and on top of that we got 2 1sts and a 4th on top of the money we saved.  I mean he has been a cancer for a while now and it didnt stop when he got traded and it wont stop.  I mean he was here in 2018 when we only won 5 games

  He will cost the Rams more games in the future.  Jalen is good but he definitely isnt a top 3 corner in this league.

It was money but when we started our 1st rebuild, what was rhe common goal for everyone and for the team? Lockdown the cornerstones/young talent,  which was Yan, Myles & Ramsey. The front office had the opportunity to do it but did not. Yan & Ramsey were producing at damn near elite levels in their 2nd year, they did not get rewarded.

Who ended up getting a reward? Bortles, who played mediocre and Myles Jack, who did not play to the level of Yan and Jalen. If you were the GM would you have not resigned both Yan & Ramsey first?

As far as up losing games, by that time the team was disgruntled and we weren't even sure who our qb was. As far as him being top 3 corner, I think you are being biased because he dislike Jalen (is he not at least top 5?) but will see this year when he is settled with a contract (that he worked for and has to be worth if someoneone paid it. I bet you no one would pay Tre Herndon any where near that.)

When Jalen is on his game, he is a different type of animal,a generational talent you gotta keep it real.
These players are kids and gm/coaches get paid to get the best out players with that type of talent, not just let him go and think it will be easy to replace him
