WOW.
Stafford traded to the Rams for a HAUL including Goff + 2 future 1sts (and some more)
Crazy overpay. Stafford is good, be he isn't worth selling your future for. Plus I think this trade significantly hurts any Watson trades. If Stafford goes for this, what does Watson get? Something unprecedented.
I actually think it makes some sense for the Rams. They are desperate, that's true. But for good reason. They've got McVay in place, and by all accounts have a lot of talent on both sides of the ball. But Goff has kind of been holding them back and especially since reaching the SB in 2019 (which they shouldn't have anyways as the Saints were robbed by the refs), Goff has looked mediocre. Belichick exposed him in the SB too.
Also, Goff has the highest cap hit in the NFL I believe which is absurd. In a way, this trade might not even be entirely about Stafford, but the Rams forking over 2 future 1st rounders to dump Goff.
Meanwhile, the Rams get an upgrade at QB at a reasonable contract especially in today's NFL, and they've opened themselves a nice little 3-4 year window here. I mean, their first round picks were probably going to be in the mid-20s or early 30s anyways in all likelihood.
