If I were Snead, and knowing how bold he can be, you have to know he sees the likelihood of Stafford retiring in January or sometime next year. I've been serious in my comments that Stafford is one hit away from ending his career. Understanding this I think Snead and McVay will have to have a very frank discussion about Matt's future. Stafford achieved all his goals when he came to LA. I don't really see him putting his wife through the anguish he felt when she was sick. I think the likelihood of Stafford's retirement next month is high.
Snead understands he must consider not just Stafford but McVay's future as well. I meant it when I said last year that I don't think McVay is cut out for developing rookie QBs as a head coach. He's too impatient and inflexible. Snead is not going to lose both his starting QB and his HC tool.
I think Snead will make a very bold move. I think he will target a young established QB who is a scheme fit for McVay's passing offense. I think he will approach Telesco and Spanos about trading for Justin Herbert. The Chargers are basically one loss away from not making the playoffs. Spanos is under a lot of financial pressure and already the rumblings of discontent among the fanbase is beginning to show. Both Telesco and Spanos felt that drafting Herbert and signing Staley was punching their Super Bowl ticket.
The Chargers are looking at having to exercise Herbert's 5th year option next year. That is $43M per year they don't have. Dean is going to look at the bump in attendance when they drafted Herbert. So along comes Snead offering 3 first round picks, and second and third picks this year. Telesco has learned a hard lesson. It doesn't matter if you have a superstar QB if you have holes all over the team and no depth. With those picks, this year and two first round picks the following 3 years Telesco can fast track his team building including getting another QB. Spanos will just see how he avoids paying his QB $43 M per year.
The Rams will get a young Stafford with the arm talent and smarts to run McVay's offense immediately. Herbert gets out of a bad situation with the Chargers and moves to a true championship-caliber organization where he can play the rest of his career. Also if the Chargers don't make the playoffs I think they fire Staley. If they do the Rams need to fire Morris and hire Staley immediately. With Herbert and Staley, this will be a true Super Bowl contender.
Also, as much as anything having a QB like Herbert will ensure McVay stays for years.
