I hope he wants to be a Ram. Maybe he's over it. Not feeling it if he doesn't get the money. It will be a shame if it's true. Let's hope he says some things that make us feel confident he's still got it if he stays. Dunno...

When Sean says he has great conversations with Stafford it gives me hope.

However, you can tell it's up in the air.

Ya, well, he'll probably want to negotiate a new contract next off season too if he has a good year and somebody else sets the bar higher.

It plants a seed. Makes the greedy agent think that some teams out there would pay it. It keeps them pushing for more.

Reading some of the comments from the Giants writers after today's presser by their GM at the Combine, I would be surprised if they pull the trigger on a trade. The closer you get to the draft and fall in love with some of these players, just hard to see not only the money aspect, but premium picks being sent away.

I just think they and other teams are going to have a tough time giving a 37 yr old QB, a 2 yr $100M contract with a lot of guarantees.

Stafford & his agent may have to save face with a contract extension that guarantees very little.

I keep getting the feeling Stafford isn't coming back. McVay even references how he handled Goff who was ultimately traded. That to me is a bad sign.

I went back and re-watched the Goff comment (around the 53-54 minute mark), and I do not agree.

McVay talked for a good 3-4 minutes about Stafford. It was positive and clear that, while things remained fluid and the outcome was uncertain, he praised Stafford and wants him back ... if possible.

The Goff comment was in reply to a compliment from Fitzpatrick about the 'transparency' of communication from McVay, and how it was a strength of his and appreciated by players. McVay's response to that compliment was the Goff reference and how he could have handeled things better in his communication with Goff (this is something McVay has spoken of in the past).

McVay's point in raising the Goff situation was that he wanted to learn and grow from past mistakes. However, I did not interpret that as specific to only when players are traded.

Yeah, he would be in for a rude awakening, which is why I think if it came to needing a starter, it would be Jimmy G.

Rodgers looks done. I am sure he would like to play for McVay but I'm not sure he can handle playing for McVay.

McVay also kept emphasizing how that communication can help lessen the blow if things don't workout. I pointed the Goff part out because McVay obviously regrets showing his appreciation to the player and human being Goff was during his time as a Ram prior to trading him. To me, it sure seems like he's doing that for Stafford now. I know it's a painful realization, myself included, for a lot of folks here to even consider there is a strong possibility Stafford is gone but it most definitely is. Unfortunately this is the shitty business side of the NFL which both McVay and Stafford seem to understand. McVay ultimately is saying these decisions are not personal and don't speak to the value to a player as a special human being.

Look at you! Being all mature, showing perspective; and trying to talk me off-the-ledge. Thank You!

But, it's not going to work. I'm jumping!
