The Latest on moves at the NFL trade deadline (all times Eastern):4:35 p.m.inton-Dix from the Green Bay Packers for a fourth-round draft pick.Clinton-Dix http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-john-kelly-jersey , who can become a free agent after this season, joins D.J. Swearinger to give the NFC East-leading Redskins (5-2) a pair of veteran safeties.Second-year player Montae Nicholson has been starting alongside Swearinger.Clinton-Dix was drafted out of Alabama in the first round in 2014 by the Packers and has appeared in all 71 games since, starting 65.He has 14 interceptions, including three this season for Green Bay (3-3-1).— Howard Fendrich reporting from Washington.4:20 p.m.The slumping Jacksonville Jaguars have traded Dante Fowler to the undefeated Los Angeles Rams just before the NFL trading deadline.The move gives the Rams an even more formidable front that already features Aaron Donald, Ndamukong Suh and Michael Brockers.The Jaguars swapped the 2015 first-round pick for a third-round draft pick in 2019 and a fifth-rounder in 2020, decent compensation for a backup who would have become a free agent at the end of the season.Fowler was the third overall selection in 2015. He has two sacks in seven games while playing limited snaps. He was suspended for the regular-season opener because of an arrest in 2017 and was suspended by the team for a week during training camp over a post-practice fight.— Mark Long reporting from Jacksonville, Florida.4:16 p.m.The Green Bay Packers have traded running back and kick returner Ty Montgomery to the Baltimore Ravens for a seventh-round draft choice.Montgomery is moving on two days after fumbling a kickoff return with about two minutes left in a 29-27 loss to the Los Angeles Rams after being told by coaches to take a touchback if the kick went into the end zone. The turnover cost the Packers a chance to drive for a potential game-winning score.The Ravens released linebacker Albert McClellan to make room.— Genaro C. Armas reporting from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.2:20 p.m.John Elway says the trade of Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans is good for the Denver Broncos and for Thomas.The move not only clears a $15 million salary cap hit from Denver's books next year, but it clears the way for young receivers to get more playing time, especially rookie Courtland Sutton but also rookie DaeSean Hamilton and second-year pro Tim Patrick.Plus, Elway says, Thomas is going to a contender. The Texans lead the AFC South after following their 0-3 start with five consecutive victories.The Broncos are 3-5 after getting swept by the AFC West-leading Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.— Arnie Stapleton reporting from Englewood, Colorado.1:17 p.m.The Philadelphia Eagles have acquired wide receiver Golden Tate from the Detroit Lions for a third-round draft pick next year.Tate has 44 catches for 517 yards and three touchdowns this season. He joins Alshon Jeffery Womens Troy Hill Jersey , Nelson Agholor and Jordan Matthews, giving Carson Wentz another target.Tate wrote on Twitter: "It's been real DETROIT! I'll love ya forever. Philly Philly let's get it!!"The 30-year-old Tate averaged 93 catches, 1,056 yards receiving and five TDs the past four seasons in Detroit. He went to the Pro Bowl after the 2014 season. Tate spent his first four seasons with Seattle.The defending Super Bowl champions Eagles are 4-4 and have a bye this week.1:08 p.m.The Denver Broncos traded nine-year veteran Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans.Thomas won't have to wait long to play his old team — the Texans (5-3) visit the Broncos (3-5) this weekend.The Broncos will also send a 2019 seventh-rounder to Houston and will receive fourth and seventh-round picks in the 2019 draft.The Texans found themselves thin at wide receiver when they lost Will Fuller for the season to a torn knee ligament and have had trouble keeping rookie Keke Coutee on the field.In a conference call with Denver media on Tuesday, Texans coach Bill O'Brien said he knew nothing of the trade talks for Thomas, saying, "I've been in meetings all day game planning." Besides, he added, that's general manager Brian Gaine's department, not his. Determine your destiny!"“All in”Last year, the Los Angeles Rams went “all in” to push for a Super Bowl appearance. They didn’t succeed in bringing home that elusive Lombardi trophy, but the offseason strategy worked insofar as it got them to Super Bowl LIII.TST readers understood that the roster that won the NFC Championship would not be same. But while the Rams couldn’t follow last year’s “all in” strategy, they did splash once again not for what they’re doing Robert Woods Jersey , rather for what they’re not doing.The Rams declined to use the franchise tag. They didn’t pick up the option on C John Sullivan. They released ILB Mark Barron, And LG Rodger Saffold III, S Lamarcus Joyner, DT Ndamukong Suh, OLB Dante Fowler, Jr. and RB C.J. Andersonare set to hit the free agent market.That’s a load of starting players coming off the 2018 roster. If the Rams’ don’t find replacements, the likelihood of returning to the Super Bowl in 2019 are greatly diminished, especially if RB Todd Gurley’s injury can’t be fixed.You might be able to pick up a player in free agency to fill the gaps, but the Rams don’t have that much in cap space to fill all their needs.That’s the problem every team faces when they go “all in.” It’s boom or bust. Just getting to Super Bowl is a remarkable achievement.But winning was the goal.Should Rams fans be concerned?Understandably, Rams fans should be concerned about the team heading into 2019. This is a natural reaction to the roster turnover. I’m not as concerned as many of my fellow Rams fans. We didn’t see what Rams coaches did in practice. Younger players like ILB Micah Kiser, C Brian Allen and OL Jamil Demby could surprise. A year under his belt, RB John Kelly could step in and fill the role of C.J. Anderson. DT Michael Brockers into Suh’s position could motivate a young quick DT to play along these two will improve the Rams front line against the run. It will also take pressure off DT Aaron Donald who faced double- and sometimes triple-teaming down the stretch.At the edge, OLB Samson Ebukam and Jonathan Franklin-Meyers have shown flashes when they were out there http://www.theramslockerroom.com/authentic-andrew-whitworth-jersey , but its not enough to make an informed decision. None of us know what EDGE Ogbonnia Okoronkwo can do as he never even hit the field. If the Rams are that concerned about the edge, then they should definitely make a play to re-sign Fowler and see how these other three players work in the rotation.When you have a defensive coordinator like Wade Phillips together with the best defensive player in Aaron Donald, it’s a good bet the Rams will be fine on this side of the ball.As much as I liked Joyner in 2017, he wasn’t that good in 2018 perhaps because he was looking for a long-term deal with the team and got tagged instead. I’m therefore okay with letting him go. With the number of picks in a draft loaded with secondary players, the Rams could use one of their third round picks and find a replacement. All they need is a player who hits like a train wreck while keeping his eye on the receiver who was supposed to be covered by CB Marcus Peters.Free AgencyIt’s still possible the Rams can keep LG Rodger Saffold, but I wouldn’t sign him to a long team deal. He might take a home team discount to stay, but that’s unlikely. The Rams should therefore make a play in free agency for a competent starting guard as offensive lineman as they can come relative cheap in contrast to the markie, big splash players at WR, RB and QB.For those concerned about chemistry—the Rams revamped their offensive line when head coach Sean McVay was originally hired and they won the NFC West Division. If QB Jared Goff continues to grow, as he has done each year under McVay’s tutelage and with WR Copper Kupp coming back and I will assume Gurley will return to form after offseason rest and rehab, the Rams offense should be fine.The DraftWho knows. We can all speculate on where the club will go and it’s fun to guess what the Rams internally are thinking, but no one really knows until the pick is in. My preference this year since the Rams actually have a first round pick is to choosethe best available fast, quick and young defensive tackle to pair with Donald and Brockers and then fill in as needed.The CombineYou really have to be a football fan to watch this week long show. For me its the most overrated Womens John Johnson Jersey , silly and worthless sporting event on television. “Yep, that guy’s fast” “Wow, he really knows how to run that cone drill” “Did you see that remarkable throw by the QB from Whattobeaprofootballplayer State University?” How any of that computes to how a player actually play game is beyond me. I get the speed and lifting weightlifting stuff, but that’s about it. You can’t coach speed.To me the most important part of the combine are the fifteen minute interviews with players since every team has already got their tape on the how the player performs. I want to hear the right things even though I’m sure they’ve been scripted to give the right answers. I also like smart players so I’m likely to put some stock in the Wonderlink test. The bottom line is that the player has proven himself in college and the tapes prove it, at a position of need, he’s going to be drafted.What Will The Rams Look Like In 2019?My overall evaluation of the Rams heading into 2019 is that they will be fine. I want the team to get younger and quicker, especially on defense. The only real need is to figure out how to score on the 6-5 Bears Quarters defense. Once McVay gets that sorted out, the Rams will remain a force in the NFC.
