If they make a major playoff run, you could be right on about that. And if that were the case I would trade for McCarthy.
Scott Mitchell, Case Keenum, Matt Flynn..... ring a bell? I agree he'll break the bank and
The Rams would be but we also need another CB, another quality tackle, maybe another defensive tackle to rotate in, and an inside linebacker. Most of these can probably be had in the draft so I'd say aim high with the FA if its for a difference maker. Only bad thing is Higgins is gonna cost a lot of coin and they'll be lots of bidders with more cash than us. Would be an easy transition for Higgins tho since he's gonna to a similar offense.
Honestly depends on how Stafford does look in the playoffs and if he sticks around. If he looks like dog poo in the playoffs, Rams may look to replace him. If he balls out enough to say, play for another championship, and we pull that off, will ge ride off into the sunset? Just to many unknowns to just flat out say no. My best guess, they'd probably roll out Jimmy G with a backup plan behind him ready to hopefully go. What that would be is anyone's guess.
I disagree with all of that. I wouldn't let him leave if I was the Vikings. Besides, if I am Darnold I sign a team friendly deal that is around 35 mil a year for however long it needs to be to fit under their cap with the understanding that the contract is renegotiated after 2 years if he hits certain goals.
I thought of that worst case as well. If I was SF that is what I would do. Lets hope he stays with the Vikings.
Ok, but the point is he will give them a team friendly deal.
Yeah, 50 mill per year will put him at #9
Maybe they can't keep him because of salary cap, I have no idea, but if I was them I would sure make a run at him. McCarthy looked good in Preseason, but we know how much that means. Hard to believe He could play any better than Sam. Also hard to believe Sam would revert to the old Sam.
That's a great question.
