Matthew Stafford Contract Status

[El Chapo Jr]

The funniest shit will be if Stafford re-signs then we all commence to high 5 each other

 

[Spider2YB]

Yes. He said he wants to play. He said he has a few good years left in him.

That is all you have to go by.

LOLOLOL.

Some people on this board are so lost they don’t even realize it. Stafford will 10000000000% retire before playing for a team like the Saints for his last 2 seasons.

That’s my wish. Stafford re-ups with us.

I’m just telling people that think Stafford would willingly accept a trade to New Orleans or Cleveland or Tennessee that they are very very wrong.

Stafford is a Super Bowl winning QB that’s in the top 10 of every single career passing category. I will CashApp someone $1000 right now if they could point me in the direction of an organization that traded a QB with those accomplishments to a destination against his wishes. Just one. Point me in that direction and $1000 will be yours in less than 30 minutes.

That's everyone's wish but obviously without knowing what he wants or is asking for olus the fact that the Rams are like, explore what any team will pay you points to Stafford wanting top dollar. Once that dollar amount becomes public knowledge, any team can now approach the Rams with an offer. Stafford has zero say in this as je has no trade clause. If he retires, he doesn't get paid like he wants and he honestly looks kinda like a little beeyatch in my eyes. With that said, I'm just hoping he gets re-signed but totally understand the Rams stance here.

 

[Memphis Ram]

The Rams organization has worked with so many dealt players to move them to acceptable situations. I even recall Snead mentioning that they got better offers on a few of them but wanted to do right by the player. I find it highly unlikely that philosophy would change for Stafford if they decided to move on.

How does Russell Wilson compare?

It’s not only that, it’s the entire culture of the NFL. There is not one other example in NFL history where someone of Stafford’s stature was simply traded away for the biggest haul, regardless of that players wishes. It’s literally never happened one time. But the geniuses on this board think that will happen with someone who came into this organization and won a ring immediately. And has outplayed their contract for 3 of the 4 years he’s been here.

How does Russell Wilson compare?

Russell Wilson’s highest offer on the free agent market last season was practically the league minimum. Are you seriously comparing him to Stafford or do you just not know any better???

No, I'm not trying to compare them at all. Was just curious how the trade from Seattle to Denver compared to Stafford now. I don't recall if he requested a trade or they just traded him to Denver.

It was a genuine question. Was the first big trade that popped into my head.

I hope you realize saying I'll pay someone doesn't change the fact that its a real possibility that a trade could go down. Can you for a fact say with 100% certainty that Stafford will not be traded? If you cannot you cannot also say where he'll be traded to as he doesn't have a no trade clause. That decision solely rests with the Rams. Just because something hasn't happened before doesn't mean it never will. Rams should take the best deal possible regardless of the destination. The Rams responsibility is to take care of the team first vs the individual. We not me essentially means that. Team over individual.

Looking at this list and damn, Rams have been in a lot of BIG QB trades.

The most significant NFL QB trades of all time

Joe Flacco became the seventh quarterback to be traded after winning a Super Bowl, joining a lengthy list of pivotal passer trades in NFL history. Here are the most important quarterback swaps the league has seen.

You are flailing because your argument sucks.

HOW MANY QBS ON THAT LIST WON A SUPER BOWL IN THE YEARS LEADING UP TO THE TRADE???????????

I'm not arguing anything, I was just surprised to see how many times we have been in a QB trade. I was just sharing this and not meant to be for argument.

Trust me, I don't want to trade Stafford at all, I want him back at a FAIR deal for both.

 

[Allen2McVay]

Name one player in this draft that the Giants can use that third pick on that can help Shorn and Daboll keep their job.

Alfred E. Neuman ...

 

[Spider2YB]

Stafford won this organization a Super Bowl. He’s outperformed his contract in 3 of the 4 seasons he’s been a Ram. If you think Les Snead is gonna deal him to the highest bidder, regardless of Stafford’s wishes, you are a smooth brained fool. Like you probably need some kind of professional help.

Wow someone needs to take a chill pill. I hope you are punching pillows to resolve your anger over there buddy. It ain't that serious lol

Every time you flash one of these childish money comments you lose even more credibility.

What Stafford and/or his agent is showing us right now is money is the most important thing. Until that changes anything is on the table.

You're still comparing Jimmy G vs. Stafford in a way that I am not. What Jimmy G actually did in the game is irrelevant to my point. That point being that if he made the same punt pass in the same circumstances, we would have said he crapped the bed.

You don't believe that McVay can field a competing team without Stafford. That's fine. But, I do. With the right additions.

I gave a few examples - not just Jimmy G.

You’re making false assumptions. I do think McVay could field a competitive team without Stafford. How competitive and what additions is the question. What additions would be stronger than the subtraction of Stafford? I don’t see it and I certainly don’t see it in the time frame of that in which we could have Stafford.

Darnold and Goff certainly crapped the bed when given the opportunity and pretty stacked teams. So what QB and additions would put us in even an equal position as we’re in with Stafford and the additions we’re certain to make even if we increase Stafford's contract? We’re probably not getting a top tier receiver in FA. We’re not getting a difference maker at RB in FA and probably have about as good of a chance in the draft at both positions as well as TE even if we keep Stafford.

Bottom line is that I view keeping Stafford and making some minor improvements giving McVay or any coach a better chance at the SB. Bringing in a different QB sets us back IMO.

Trying to go up in the draft to grab a rookie QB? Who? When? ‘25? ‘26? Is trading Stafford going to put us in position to grab that Franchise rookie? Possibly. Odds are against it though. We’d have to package up our first next year and whatever 1st we’d get via Stafford trade plus to move up in ‘26 likely. We’re not getting him in this draft unless we plan to sit him behind a QB that simply makes us “competitive “.

Hell. Maybe your direction is better. I just don’t see it that way.

Quite the goal post move. Kudos. I mean that.

I didn’t say anything about Stafford and his agent. I said that if you think Les Snead will simply sell Stafford to the highest bidder, you are a fan boy that doesn’t know ball.
