  1. The New England part wasn’t necessary to the tweet but I enjoy that he included it so I can say that we dropped our nuts on the Pats once again

  3. Seems like a perfect scheme fit and excellent insurance given that the odds of losing Hyde or Poyer for some part of the season are pretty high given their age

  4. Oh shit I love this. I love this a lot. Really hoping this turns into an extension next year.

  5. I’m surprised…let’s wait and see what the contract is – would be surprised if it’s above the comp pick threshold

    Was interest and offers in him underwhelming? Did the Bills attract him, despite not having a starting job in place? Does Sean envision 3 safety packages?

    Let’s see what Joe, Joe, Sal, the FO, analysts, etc. have to say in these coming days

  7. Interesting luxury depth signing. With poyer returning and this signing, have to wonder if they would have been better off letting Jackson hit the market instead of committing to the 2m tender as Benford looks to be sticking at corner.

  8. Good signing, he’s a good player. He’s started a lot of games on good Rams teams.

  9. Rapp is a good tackier had a couple big hits this season, and he already has experience picking off Aaron rodgers which is great as well yaaay!

  10. This is a good pickup. Rapp is a talented safety. He would be a good depth piece to help spell Poyer and Hyde

  16. Interesting move. Surprised he signed with us knowing he could easily start somewhere else. He’ll be great insurance in the Secondary.

  18. This is a great signing that I’m honestly shocked happened for us/I wasn’t expecting at all. Wouldn’t mind having him signed long term after this year as starting/depth, but what a pleasant surprise!

  22. Seems to be a liability in coverage (passer rating allowed over 98 the last two years) but racks up the tackles so should defend run well. Not entirely sure about it, Rams fans seem ok with him leaving.

  24. This is a good fit since he’s a dimebacker.

    He can play LB in obvious passing situations.

  25. Rams fan here. Congrats!

    Rapp is a really solid player that consistently racks up tackles. He’s reliable, but not elite and will occasionally miss which will be frustrating. Just remember all the times his name DOES get called and you will feel better.

  27. Love it. Wonder if it opens the door to potentially using more 3 safety looks. Regardless the depth was definitely needed.

  28. I’m a rams fan . Please don’t too excited over this. He’s average at best. Always out of position and gets ran over a lot.

  29. Sounds like hes a depth player at a position that needed more depth. All fine with me, as long as he is paid like a depth player.

  34. Do any of these moves + the fact that mcdermot will be calling the defense indicate a different approach to the entire defensive mentality?

  35. The Bills got a really nice depth player in Rapp, definitely needed it with two older banged-up players at safety.

  36. I’m sure Rapp is looking to play Ramsey 2x a year now, adding a bit more beef to the Dolphins rivalry.
