The LA Rams were a little tight-fisted when it came to planning for the 2019 offensive line, but the team seemed to have an nearly endless supply of both funds and enthusiasm when a skill player was up for a new contract. And so it went that the Rams locked in WR Brandin Cooks to a long-term deal, and in return locked up the LA Rams until 2023 to the receiver.
The plan was sound. locking in a burst speed receiver to keep safeties locked into playing over the top plays, which would give teammate running back Todd Gurley fewer defenders.
