Random Ramsdom: Franchise was interested in trading for Sam Howell?

Los Angeles Rams News and Links for 4/6/24

The Los Angeles Rams signed Jimmy Garoppolo to compete for their backup quarterback position. Interestingly enough, according to the information below, LA may have had their eye on another potential QB: Sam Howell. Howell played against the Rams this past season and had some moments, but LA did come away with the win. The Seattle Seahawks ended up acquiring Howell.

Would you have preferred Howell to Jimmy G? Did the Rams miss out on a potential replacement here? Please let us know what you think and have a great Saturday! Thanks for hanging out here at Turfshowtimes!

“However, there was an interesting little tidbit shared recently that might change some opinions… at least a little. It turns out there was a bit of a bidding war for Howell’s services, which the Seahawks won. But who did they beat? The Los Angeles Rams.

Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford’s future has been up in the air for some time now. Stafford’s age and constant injury history has left Los Angeles actively planning for his eventual succession, one they reportedly tried to facilitate last year. Instead, they had to settle for former Patriots, 49ers and Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.”

Which position will the Rams draft first? See what the betting odds say. (ramswire)

“The Los Angeles Rams have been hard at work filling out their roster by signing free agents and bringing back some of their own players before the 2024 NFL draft. That’s freed them up to take the best player available at No. 19 overall, whether that’s an edge rusher, wide receiver or even a quarterback.

The Rams haven’t tipped their hand whatsoever as to which position they will address first, but oddsmakers have released betting lines for each position group to be the first drafted by Los Angeles.”

“If you talk about a guy that’s consistent,” Donald began. “Been doing it year in year out consistently that’s gonna get you 15 sacks, 13 sacks, damn 22 sacks consistent. He’s the guy that’s been doing it consistently. Interceptions every year, touchdowns, his stats be ridiculous every single year.

“I know you got Micah Parsons coming up, you got Myles Garrett, you got a bunch of good players. But my opinion, from the time I’ve seen T.J. Watt in the league – from the first time I’ve seen him to last year – he’s consistently been dominating in this league. Just a lot of respect for him, think he’s that guy.”

Random Fandom: TST group mock 2.0 (By Ferragamo15 on Apr 5, 2024)

“On Saturday, April 6 (tomorrow), I’d like to do another PFN multi-user draft simulation. We had 3 participants the first time around. If you want to participate, let us know in the comments below.

1. The first thing we need to do is pick a time. I think our last draft took about half an hour to complete.

2. List which NFL team you want to control. Each user can only draft for one team. I’m going to use the Seattle Seahawks. Hopefully, I can pick a bunch of busts for them. Adam Schefter is reporting that I have a meeting scheduled with JJ McCarthy this afternoon. Got my eye on some long snappers too.

3. After we pick the time, come here first. I’ll post the name of the room (probably “TST”) and the password to get into the room.

4. Once you get the password, go to www.profootballnetwork.com/mockdraft. In the “Draft Settings” section, you’ll see buttons for “Enter Solo Draft”, “Create Room” and “Join Room”. Click on the “Join Room” button.

5. A list of the public and private rooms will appear. Find the TST room (it will be a private room), enter the room, choose a username and put in the password. Once you are in the room, select your NFL team.

6. There is a chat function inside the draft room, so if you have any questions during the draft or want to talk to the other users, you can use it to communicate.

7. At the end of the draft, copy and paste your draft results here, so we can discuss what happened.

Good luck and have fun. Hope that you can join us!”
