I’m confused by this one

What LA has in its favorite almost no other team does is the youth on defense. It makes them a complete unknown in a good way. Turner, Fiske, Verse, etc could all make leaps and you could be looking at a top 5 unit.

Letting Kupp walk was a good move. Incorporate Corum more, add a WR. They should run it back

It’s better to get off a player a year early than a year late.

Trade Stafford, sign A-Rod, use the draft capital to get your QB of the future
2005 Patriots 3 peat if they have Ty Law instead of Duane Starks. The 2018 Patriots dont win their 6th Superbowl if they successfully trade Gronk to Detroit before the season starts..

much love to JMS but he’s trying to get a massive payday one last time from the Rams. History shows you gotta move off of a aging QB sooner rather than later, especially with massive contracts for Puka Nacua and Jared Verse looming in the future. Also doesn’t help that JMS was putting up just OK numbers and his health and athletic limitations are starting to become more apparent.

Ideally you want Stafford to play on a team friendly deal, have the cap flexibility to sign critical FAs and draft his successor next year.

Yeah I don’t get it either. They played the Eagles the best out of any team in the playoffs and could have won. Hes 37, so should have a few years left in the tank. He’s definitely worth more than the $20 million he’s making.

Give him a raise and go offense heavy on the draft and free agency.

They'd like to have him back, but not at the asking price he's looking for hence them giving him permission to talk to other things.

If you think that type of offer is out there for you, then go out there and find it.
If I’m the Steelers, Jets, Browns, and maybe even the 49ers I’d consider it especially if I could get him for $30-$40million

The issue isnt the number, it’s the length of the contract. JMS wants a long term deal.

Still don't get it.

Rams were cooking once Puka and Kupp were finally healthy and on the field together.

Rams were a drive-killing false start away from potentially beating the Eagles.

Who are you replacing Stafford with?

There’s no place he has a better chance at winning than the current rams. He just wants a final bag that they are unwilling to give him.

If it was about winning he wouldn’t be thinking about going to the raiders to finish last in the AFC west
