Taylor Lewan has expressed interest in the Rams. Should LA sign him?

[UplandRam]

“I think the L.A. Rams are a team I’d be interested in,” he said on his “Bussin’ With The Boys” podcast.

He continued: “I think LA would be cool because (Neal) ElAttrache is their doctor. … I think Sean McVay is a (expletive) stud. And I think it’d be a lot of fun there, too.”

If he's better than Boom, bye bye Boomie and bring on Mr. Lewan

I think the question is if he's a better option at LT than AJ Jackson. He's definitely better than Noteboom, but the injuries are a huge concern. I'd hate for the Rams to get into any kind of bidding war for a guy like that, just to end up having to sign somebody like Nseke again when Lewan is hurt.

Yeah, I don't do bidding wars. Too much playing about. Check market. look at health and trend over say two seasons. Decide what you think he's worth . make the offer. Doesn't take it .. move on. For one thing, you'll find out if there really *is* a bidding war and not just some fantasy concocted by an agent to flog more money out of thin air.
Another, you'll find out if the guy really has a preference for where he plays and is self aware enough as to his value.

Overpaying is a bad habit and bidding wars generally lead to just that.

As for better than Jackson, most likely, at least a bit, on experience if nothing else. Having the duo for that position would not be a harmful situation either. Would be nice to not have to scramble or lose a lot if your LT goes down

I thought Nseke played pretty well....in fact his PFF numbers showed that. I kind of wnt that guy back on the team

this guy's knee is shot. I hope the FO stays clear from this guy. Plus he won't be cheap. So how many guys do the Rams have to cut in order to sign Lewan???? so dumb

[Jacksnow]

Don't touch this guy. He has a failed ACL repair and requires additional ACL repair. Surgical repair in general never makes bones, tendons, and ligaments stronger or even back to baseline strength. The only exception to this statement is if the position of OL is not that challenging to the ACL? and you could get him at basement bargain price.

Amen brother could not agree with you more.

My Titans fan bros all said "good riddance, the dude is a liability"... Just sayin.

Ok, Boomer.

[Simdaddy]

Then Taylor should sign for league min with some incentives on games played and performance. Lets see how bad he wants to play here.

[Jacksnow]

Agree 100%. I would rather trust a rookie OL with virgin knees than some old OL with shot knees and addiction issues.
