Salas was being moved to the outside this year for the Rams in camp, I think last year he was in the slot because Amendola was out. Edelman is an outside receiver for us, I don't think he has been i the slot much or at all.

One of my sons works less than thirty hours a week and makes 4.3 million a month. That works out to be 51.6 million a year. The only negative is that he's being paid in won, which is about 1000 to 1 in dollars.

I don't think he's going anywhere. It's one thing to give a me/me type player the boot over a few dollars, but it's quite another to kick out a dedicated foot soldier like Welker. I really think both sides want him to stay and will work things out in the end.

The Rams have already stated that Jackson is going to free agency and they won't use the tag on him.

The Pats TRIPLED his salary!! This move definitely doesn't make sense unless someone made him an offer. I think he let the Pats know that he had an offer to join a pro roster, and they decided to match the money so long as he would stay on their practice squad. Also I think this is a sign that we like him a lot. He's probably Branch/Welker insurance for next year in case Branch retires or Welker walks in free agency.

It seems quite likely, but just remember that "tripled" basically means "brought it up to what he would be getting if he were on the 53-man roster" (he's a second-year player, so he should be making $455K).

Hopefully they bring him up, play him, and find out if he's capable or not ..... this year!

I wonder if Amendola being out for six weeks caused the Rams to contact Salas?

Yeah. Rams and Jets are my two teams, that I think tried to sign him.
