how does anybody (other than Jerry) sign a guy coming off 2nd ACL tear to any serious contract without him working out at all?

[Foxx]

Yikes! How many get flexed out?

Stafford most likely done for the year. The Rams will probably end up with the all-time worst record of a defending Super Bowl champion. The Lions... what, they will potentially get the number 2 pick plus their own?

 

 

Well....they went 'all out' for a Super Bowl and got it.  This is the other side.  I don't expect to see LAR back in the hunt for a very long time.

 

Maybe Stafford comes back refreshed next season, but I'm wondering if all those years taking a pounding in Detroit are starting to catch up with him.

It would really suck for the Rams if he retired.

It's possible -- he's made a lot of money in the NFL.  But if he doesn't and is now over the hill, the Rams will be paying for that ring for a while.

I don't know if they are on the hook if he officially retires. Seeing those numbers though, he'd be nuts to retire when, at minimum, he could play out the string.

That's what I mean.  I assume the Rams would love him to retire and bring that $$ back into the mix for them.  They will need a rebuild and half their cap going to five guys is going to be a problem for a while.

 

Not that they'll have a first round pick to get a QB until the next decade.....

Gotcha. Re-read it and somehow missed it the first time around.

 

No matter how you look at it though, they are screwed for a number of years.

Staffords injury could be Karma punishing him for pimping Little Sleazers

Good, hopefully we can get Kupp cheap in the offseason

They can when we give them a pick for Kupp

How the mighty have fallen.

He has to clear waivers, but San Fran probably has him on speed dial.

Just think...the highlight of his career is Progressive commercials.

Does Baker even make sense for SF? The entire Shannahan idea is that the QB does exactly what Shanny wants when he wants it. That doesn’t sound like Baker…

Mayfield has been officially released
