What am I missing about Richie Incognito?

He's a RFA. It would be extremely easy to cut ties if they are so inclined.

OKay, but if he's as good as you say he is, wouldn't the Rams make an effort to bring him back? Since he's restricted, what do we get if a team signs him or do we just have the right to match?

All things being equal, I'd say the Rams absolutely should try to bring him back. But if his week 17 dismissal by Haslett is indicative of management's view towards Cogs, then I doubt they make a serious attempt.

As for what we get, I think it depends on what level they tender him; but my understanding of the RFA process isn't that great.

I'm sure somebody out there knows the minutia.
