He’s looking for one final payday that the Rams can’t give him.

Not sure what the contract details were but I’m pretty sure if he wanted to he could have just stayed and they would have had to pay him the rest of the guaranteed money. He just finished year one of a five year contract.

It was only a 2-3 year contract and the rest of it was fluff.

Yeah I just heard Rams had an out after 1 year so there you go.

And even with as well as he played, the difference wasn't that massive. It's great when you draft a standout middle linebacker but paying one big money in free agency doesn't make a whole lot of sense. They're the runningbacks of defence.

His pay has been declining at a faster pace than his play. Hawks cut him at 20m/yr, Rams signed him at 10m/yr. Love him and I think (idk) he was a force last year. But he has already cashed in.
