I wonder how honest teams have to be with competing organizations. Like if the raiders settled on 40 mil per year would they have to be honest about that number with the rams?
Teams have gotten burned in the past for lying, in later dealings. It comes back to bite you. It's still done but usually comes at a cost so it's not an all the time thing.

their o-line is terrible had like 24th most Sacks allowed in the nfl - and thats with two somewhat mobile QBS

... they do not have a good roster overall.
Here's the PFF grades for their offense. The line wasn't the problem.

Ok. To me, a 45M dead cap hit sounds like something you'd do for a player ya want to get rid of, not one ya really want to keep.
They pay that if he stays or goes. And if he stays the number jumps to 50 mill next year.
And that is with his current deal.
Now if they have to add 20 mill per to that?

Looks like it's time to put up or shut up! Do you want a little more money and losing seasons until you retire or do you want to further cement your legacy with the Rams?

Exactly.
Having to match a 2 year guaranteed 100+ mill deal is almost a poison pill. Potentially would leave a dead cap of 50-80 mill for 2027

Be kind of funny at this point if Stafford gets traded and Kupp stays on some kind of re worked deal.

Unless it's $45mil or less. Get us the draft capital.

He's worth $50mil+ but not to use where we're at.

Bad teams give bad contracts, smart teams know when it's time to walk away and say Thanks and good luck.
Ehh there this QB draft sucks and the free agents are meh.

We will prob be a .500 at best team for two years without a QB/

Not that simple in my mind.

I think 45-47 is a fair offer however.
