lions haven't really been that good since kramer was there qb.
i know the packers have that kid they drafted sitting on the bench, but if that offer was on the table wouldn't the packers consider it?
Watson had his best receiver traded and then his second best guy (fuller) get suspended for I think the last 8 games of the season or so. I don't even remember who he had to throw the ball to after that.
It appears they are sending away draft picks to get off the hook from Goff's deal, they recently got rid of Todd Gurley and Brandon Cooks after giving them huge contracs.
It woukd not surprise me to see them release or trade Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey in a season or two to get out from those record contracts.
Goff had a dismal rookie-season and was seen by many as a complete-bust – but that was under the previous Ram’s coach Jeff Fisher whom I felt was a good coach but he was a defensive-coach and the team had been struggling under him – so IDK if Goff will go back to his very-poor rookie play now in Detroit if he does not have the proper coaching around him; I hope he does well though b/c he seems like a good guy.
With the kinda $$$ the Rams have been spending over the last couple of years, it seems as if they felt they were ready to win now and why they traded for Stafford, seeing Stafford as an upgrade and perhaps feeling they had gotten all they could out of Goff and it wasn’t enough.
I think Stafford is an upgrade for the Rams. But not a Brady-like upgrade that the Bucs did last year.
And Warrior15 is right about this deal setting a high market for Watson - Houston will want 2 1sts plus 2 2nds plus a Pro Bowl player.
Should have seen the signs - he put his house up for sale a year ago in Detroit and the excuse was “the house wasn’t kid friendly.”
Rockie, you'd have a better chance of seeing Hell freeze over than New England picking up that kind of QB contract for a guy who is more miss than hit.
The Rams have already had to eat $22.4 million on Goff's 4 year (2021 to 2024) $140 Million deal to move him to the Lions. There's a lot to disparage Goff on, but he's played all but 1 regular season game in the last 3 years.
Rick: I believe Ryan Fitzpatrick will be the Patriots QB next year, as his timeline matches the owner and the coach!
But even knowing that a decent QB and the return of the opt-out players will likely make them a contender again, the Pats will STILL not willingly get saddled with a bad contract for a crap player. That is not the Patriots Way. They find value picks and then develop them and there is no team in the league better at it. Doing this has been how the Pats keep their salary cap under control AND stayed competitive year over year.
There are a lot of good QB prospects in this upcoming draft. My guess is that they will draft a QB with the 15th overall pick and then develop him. It's also possible that Jimmy G. could be traded back to New England, with San Fran eating a portion of his contract of course. Shit, both could happen.
Most teams had one or two opt outs. New England had far and away the most with a whopping eight players. No other team came close. What's that say about the "Patriots Way" if players sit out at the first opportunity? Maybe playing with Brady meant more than playing for Belichick.
