The Facts: This is a plot twist. Instead of trading or releasing Austin, the Rams and Austin re-do his deal and he sticks around.
Diehards Line:
This after the Rams spent recent days shopping the speedy gadget player. According to ESPN.com's Alden Gonzalez, keeping Austin will be almost the same as cutting him, at least for this year. The $5 million he was guaranteed stays. The $3 million remaining, which the Rams would've saved by cutting him, is now reachable with incentives. Of course, Austin's return to the Rams ensures ongoing fantasy irrelevance as Robert Woods, Cooper Kupp, Pharoh Cooper and Josh Reynolds all appear to be ahead of him in the pecking order.
