Rams Tell Stafford To Pound Sand. Future Sammy D Home?

[comet52]

I just don't think Stafford will garner much out there in the wild. He's 37 years old and a playoff team has just decided to let their QB 'see what he's worth out there'. lol, yeah so normal. The more I look at this, the more I'm like why would the Rams do this? His QB rating last year was the best he's had since 2021. Completion percentage better than last year. So the Rams would have to eat some of his contact in a trade, that's a given as he's untradeable with that current contract. AND pay Darnold $45 million for this upcoming year PLUS the signing bonus?? Does any of that make sense?

Unhappy wife, unhappy life?

I have no idea either. It seems like he's got a great situation in L.A.

Stafford isn't going anywhere.

Stafford for darnold both have about the same worth on the open market

Stafford isn't going anywhere.

Agreed. Who is going to move the needle more than Stafford for the Rams?? Darnold? Rodgers? Absolutely not. It doesn't make any sense.

Stafford's been wanting a new contract for over a year. The Rams don't want to commit long term to a 37 year old QB. Is it possible they settle their differences and Stafford comes back to the Rams? Of course. But I wouldn't count on it. Rams have a young core and don't want their elderly to hobble the team's future the way Brees did with the Saints. 

What will they do at QB? No idea. But Darnold makes a lot of sense for them.

My guess is Stafford will be back. They aren't that far off from the tippy top so downgrading at QB is risky, even to get younger.

BUT... This is potentially great news for us. The Rams are one of the teams I'd have the most confidence in that KAM can achieve a sign and trade. A homecoming for Samuel and some compensation for us sounds good to me.

I had not heard Stafford was Jonesing for a newer contract till now...

That COULD be a reason for separation...I guess I would be surprised if he didnt finish his career there.

Wonder who she’ll bang if things don’t work out

Grossly underpaid and no guaranteed money. Bad combination.
