After looking at the last couple of seasons with players like Trumaine Johnson and Lamarcus Joyner, the Los Angeles Rams were an early candidate to use the franchise tag once again during the 2019 season, especially since it would be tempting to use it on Dante Fowler Jr.
Before last year’s trade deadline, the Rams realized they had nothing to lose by acquiring Fowler from the Jacksonville Jaguars since if the former first-round pick could help the team reach the Super Bowl, this is all that mattered the most.
Turns out, a fresh start on a new team like Los Angeles was just what Fowler needed to get his career back on track, but now comes the tricky part with the NFC champions trying to decide whether the defender is worth bringing back in 2019.
