The Browns went 5-12 last year with Garrett who at 30 is a player that was making north of $40 million per year and not wanting anything to do with the Browns is not in the future plans get what you can and move on.
I said it in another thread, but Stafford has a good long term track record of playing . Not like Purdy
Yeah but we can’t relax, run it forward
Verse is fine, but I don’t think he’s a difference maker. Lots of hype little actual results. He’s no Anderson
Jerry Jones is laughing cause the rams from LA aren’t even the only team that play in that stadium in Inglewood….
Not sure I’d be ecstatic if we traded Bosa and a 1,2 and 3 which is likely what it would have taken
The Browns are not eating any of Garrett's contract. That would be insane. They are taking a cap hit, but that's not the same thing. Garrett's affordable for the next few years because his contract was restructured to that the cap hit extends to 4 voidable years from 2031 to 2034. The Rams will have to pay for Garrett, but it's structured in a way that makes it fit under the cap.
...and why did they trade away their 1st round pick in 2025 for a future pick if they were all-in that year?
I have, and whoa, the similarity is eerie!
I think that is true of most teams but it would indeed impact the Rams a lot more than others. The Rams' offensive ceiling/floor is very high because of Stafford and it has come at a price to their defense. Stafford is the reason Nacua has huge numbers, he makes good receivers even better and average receivers good, I have admired his play since his early years in Detroit, smart as whip, fantastic arm, accurate as it gets with LONG experience. Garrett and others have helped the Rams' chances and certainly improved the offrense/defense balance on paper but it is a always dicey business when investing heavy to a comoponent on defense. I honestly don't make that trade, I would have spread that into depth. The Rams lost 2 games to the Seahawks because late in the game they could not convert 3rd downs when they had a lead and after using a BUNCH of clock down by 4 LA could not close the deal on 3rd or 4th down. Seattle had something to do with that, the defense really tightened up in those places throughout the game but LA made FGs early and Riq Woolen made sure he left his mark too You are right, Stafford out puts the Rams out but unless his wife bites his groin by accident or one of his little kids smacks him in the leg with a real baseball bat he will start and finish every game. It is EXTREMELY difficult to get to Stafford before he makes a quality throw.
If you were the betting favorite, why did you need Garrett..................... Inquiring minds want a no BS repeonse
Easy answer Rams were scared of what the Seahawks were bringing and they had not even peaked last year as a team and still won it all.
