7 years agoThe Los Angeles Rams may weigh using the franchise tag on safety Lamarcus Joyner over wide receiver Sammy Watkins. In 12 games in 2017, Joyner accumulated 39 total tackles, and a career-high three interceptions. It would make sense considering it looks like the Rams are getting set to let cornerback Trumaine Johnson, who they franchise tagged in 2017, to hit the open market. Watkins was mostly a disappointment in his first season with the Rams, being outshined by Robert Woods. Either way you slice it, LA's defense is in good hands right now under defensive coordinator Wade Phillips, and they may even be getting better if they acquire corner Marcus Peters.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
