Where are the media on this one?

While the media is doing a remarkable job in covering the topic, the matter is clearly one that can be quite frustrating for Ramsey and is simply at a point in the negotiations that are too sensitive for either head coach Sean McVay or general manager Les Snead to discuss. Where it all falls apart right now is math. Not that the numbers won’t work down the road, but the dollars are in other pockets right now.

Lol I love the Rams PR & media that cover the team. They pushed me today for an answer about my contract 😂😂..The only answer I geniuly have is that I DONT KNOW!! I can say that I have the best agent in the game tho @DavidMulugheta & I can also say that God’s timing is the best!

The details are not there yet. To get this deal “done”, the Rams need to free up some cap space this year.

There is no role like his in the NFL today. “Jalen’s wild” as DC Staley deals winning hand for LA Rams D. light

Rams “Mums” the word

The Rams are not giving away details. But if you want some clues, the team is full of them. Anytime Rams GM Les Snead responds to the progress about the status of Ramsey’s contract, he responds that he is “optimistic” that a deal can get done. That’s the same term used to describe the progress of re-signing OT Andrew Whitworth. How does that differ from the term used to describe the progress of resigning OLB Dante Fowler Jr., another team re-signing target? To that progress, Snead stated resigning Fowler was a “team priority”.

So what about the team’s motivation to get this deal done?

On Jalen Ramsey contract talks, Rams GM Les Snead: "We’ll keep the intimacy of those details in house." Then adds: "We gave up two first rounders to bring in that caliber of player." Translation: At some point it will get done. Rams recently have done deals before the reg season.

The Rams truly have no choice here. Nobody’s talking. But nobody is overly concerned either. So what are the team’s options? The Rams have several options.
