OT: Rams decline 5th yr Option for CB Emmanuel Forbes

[Pape]

for those that don't remember (or care, that works too) CB Emmanuel Forbes was taken by washington with the 16th pick of the 2023 draft, one spot before we grabbed Gonzo at 17... he was released by the 'skins, picked up by the rams who declined his option

looks like we dodged a bullet with that one...

other guys in the 23 draft who have had their options declined: QB Anthony Richardson (IND), DB Deonte Banks (NYG), OL Broderick Jones (PIT), LB Jack Campbell (DET). EDGE Tyree Wilson (NOR), DT Mazi Smith (NYJ). DE Felix Anudike-Uzomah (KC)

discuss, or not, as you will

Rams decline CB Emmanuel Forbes' fifth-year option

The Rams declined the fifth-year option on the contract of cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, according to the NFL's personnel notice.

Thought he played well last year for LAR but yeah colossal mistake for WASH taking him over Gonzo.

In general I think teams put too much emphasis on certain personality traits. As with Caleb Lomu who is considered perhaps too nice for an OL and not nasty enough, Gonzalez seems perhaps too cool a customer for a CB. But we're had success with players like Gilmore in the past, another guy who was considered very nice.

Amazing how much performance affects the option. Zay flowers was pick between Quentin Johnston and Jordan Addison but will make $9M more than each of them.
