Matthews is in a far better position now than he was last season. The Packers didn't have enough depth and he played far too many snaps. This season he'll likely be a situational guy and be much healthier.

Exactly.  Of course the guy has lost a step but a super star OLB losing a step still makes him better than 3/4 of the OLBs in the league.  Playing as a situational pass rusher who isn't expected to play every frickin' down because there is ZERO depth is a boon for the Rams.  People grousing about Matthews "stealing money" is absurd.  Put any OLB in that position and see how they fare.  If Clay gives the Rams 8 sacks next year that's huge.  For all those clamouring for Connor Barwin type signings, Matthews is exactly that right now.  Would've been nice to see what he could've done with the new OLB infusion.
