Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 864711">Yeah, well, from what I saw he did that teeing off and free lancing on the pass rush.  I'm going to say he probabably graded poorly in run D.  In fact, he broke his jaw face planting himself diving for a guy after blowing edge contain.It's not as though the Rams were unaware of their 2020 cap situation when they signed him while also obviously being all-in for "win now".  If they decide to release him with $2 mil in dead cap, then you can assume they were happy to have him as one year rent-a-player at $5.5 mil where only one year ever mattered.  Somebody who needs a passing down specialist on the edge will probably pay that again.The Packers are not that team.  They have two high-priced edge players on long term contracts who we already know to be very good players in their primes.  The Packers will give Gary more snaps and bank on his progression until he proves otherwise.Spending $5 mil, give or take, on Matthews is about the last place I'd expend those resources.The idea of playing him at ILB, though perhpas not your idea, is ludicrous.  Why mince words?  He wasn't up to the task in the first go-round and he's noticeably slower now.  He would be disasterous as a coverage player and he's not a guy you want trying to plug holes.</blockquote>
