Depends on the type of locker room you want, hes not the guy I want my rookies around.  When the Rams start losing they will then know they made a mistake signing Ramsey to that contract because he wont be happy and will cause problems.  Pro Bowl?  With that contract he should be an All Pro

He hasn't been there a full season yet,

Maybe he becomes All Pro this year.

But his contract bolsters my argument.

Were he the malignant locker room tumor so many suggest, the Rams would not have signed him to such a deal.

If the Rams start losing, it doesn't mean the Ramsey contract was a mistake.  There are 52 other guys on the active roster.  Ramsey can't be blamed if the Rams' brass misses on other draft picks, or if guys get seriously injured and miss significant time, etc.
