The Snead Way.CDTShareTweetShareShareLos Angeles Rams continue compensatory pick strategy beyond 2019 free agencyJason Getz-USA TODAY SportsIt’s the beginning of free agency, and the Los Angeles Rams appear to have made the key decisions to make on some of their core veterans and recent acquisitions. No, I’m not talking about 2019.I’m talking about 2018.The Rams ultimately let twice-tagged CB Trumaine Johnson and WR Sammy Watkins leave via free agency (among others) for a combined tune of $120.5m spread out over their contracts, respectively. The NFL spotted them two compensatory picks for their troubles in the third round of the 2019 NFL Draft.Flash forward to this offseason Marcus Peters Jersey , and the team is headed toward being in the same boat. New Rams S Eric Weddle was cut by the Baltimore Ravens, meaning he doesn’t impact the compensation formula much like the Rams pickup of DL Ndamukong Suh who was similarly let go a year ago. So in terms of comp picks, the Rams are once again sitting pretty good. For reference, here was last year:2018 Free Agent Comp PicksNamePositionContract (Yrs)Contract (Val)Yr/ValComp PickNamePositionContract (Yrs)Contract (Val)Yr/ValComp PickAnd now Brandin Cooks Jersey , here is what we have so far with S Lamarcus Joyner joining the Raiders and G Rodger Saffold III heading to Nashville:2019 Free Agent Comp PicksNamePositionContract (Yrs)Contract (Val)Yr/ValComp PickNamePositionContract (Yrs)Contract (Val)Yr/ValComp PickWhile the average value per year is down, guard and safety are not exactly the most marquee positions. For now, the Rams would easily get a compensation pick for both of the departed players, likely in the 3rd-4th range Ndamukong Suh Jersey , depending on how the contracts continue to be handed out in free agency. Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that quarterback Carson Wentz will not take part in the day’s practice because he’s having back spasms.Pederson added that the team would evaluate Wentz’s injury over the course of the week when asked if there was any risk that Wentz will not play against the Rams on Sunday night. That may be a more optimistic outlook than the one actually in place, however.Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Wentz is not expected to play against the Rams. He adds that the team is still gathering information about the issue and that he may not play again this season depending on what comes up during that process.Pederson said on Wednesday that the team was resting Wentz on Wednesday and he’d been limited for other practices earlier this season because of a back issue. There will likely be further questions about the impact the back problem may have had on his play in recent weeks.If that’s the case, Nick Foles would get the start for the final three regular season games for the second year in a row. Foles went on to start three more games in the postseason as the Eagles won the Super Bowl and the team’s best chance of getting back to the postseason would be for Foles to author another three-game winning streak.
