I heard the rumor was the Rams were a firm no early in the year. It’s clear they aren’t tanking so I don’t think they go that route unless they have a replacement lined up.
Stafford could still start for the Rams until he’s finished his contract.
If I’m the Rams, I deal Matt for a first or multiple picks, and reload for 2-3 years down the road. While they looked good against Seattle, it may have been the case that Seattle was just bad. Rams aren’t winning a title this year. Matt is their biggest chip at the moment if they want to rebuild sooner.
Depends on how serious the Jets are about this year and next. Wilson isn’t winning shit.
This is a very very rare opportunity for them to trade it all for an SB and then reload substantially 2 years later. It’s highly unlikely they’d have this much leverage again.
I got laughed at for my Rams win the division post a couple months back on the back of exceedingly superior QB play to the rest of the division. I did stipulate that their big three would need to be healthy all 17 which isn’t happening. And I underestimated SF too much.
All that being said I do think LA can be a viable wild card contender in the NFC with that schedule. I see at least 9 wins if they get Kupp back decently soon and I think they can exceed that total.
That’s what I would do if I were Snead. Stafford is far from healthy. How much longer does he realistically play? The other move is make is trading Donald to us for a conditional 7th round pick while eating 95% of his contract. It’s the least he can do for us helping him get his ring.
The jets are a loaded team with a good rushing attack and very talented receivers. It’s his best shot to win another ring. That’s how I’d look at it if I were him.
Yeah, it’s just … LA vs Jersey? I know how I’d feel. But if it’s basically a year to year rental, why not? If Matt went to NYJ and won another ring, he’d etch his reputation as a QB mercenary.
But as others have said, I’m not sure Matt survives longer than Erin did behind that offensive line.
Brady would fix that OL the jets have I guarantee it. When he first went to the Bucs their OL was bad. He somehow whipped them into shape. Brady’s talent goes beyond his ability to throw a spiral.
