I mean, it was said by the Rams they were going to let him see what the interest for him was elsewhere and after that talk with him and see if they can come to an agreement. This is basic negotiating. There's nothing they should have done initially. They played this smartly. Just because all the click whores wanted to make it as dramatic as it could possibly be while trying to make Rams out to be villainous it all turned out exactly how one would expect it to without being over dramatic about it.

That's because the Rams DECIDED not to pursue that. Once again, he doesn't have a no trade clause. Rams were being decent. However if they were adamant, it wouldn't have mattered what Stafford thought, they could have shipped him whenever they wanted to. I'm just happy we have our QB all bullshit aside.

Exactly. Had Stafford and the Rams came to a stale mate, he would have been traded wherever the Rams wanted.

It's always speculation

142! Tied with the AD thread!

Alas, in true Stat Padford fashion, we got a lot of padding at the end of this thread .

Edit: Really, though, it's not over 'til it's over, right?

The specifics of the deal are expected to be finalized over the next few weeks -- likely after the start of free agency, which begins March 12 -- with a new restructured salary available then, Rapoport added.

a stale mate

I’m not sure that she’s stale, but Kelly does smell a bit.

I don't know if we're using the word speculation correctly fellas.

He didnt want anything to do with the Giants or Steelers, so the threat of being traded there works in the Rams favor. Pretty cut and dry.
In the end it was always about trying to squeeze the Rams for the most he could get

Ah, yes. It seemed like a bunch of BS now.

its okay it was just you and like one other person that didn't understand that he wouldn't go just anywhere.

But yes let's be happy.

Yeah it was part of their plan obviously.

Yup, just in time for free agency and the draft

no...Stafford said he wasn't interested in joining either of those teams

Sad that you think that way as its factually incorrect to think he had any control, but as I said multiple times and at exhaustion, the first choice was always to keep him. The Rams were very considerate to allow Stafford to be remotely involved, but it doesn't mean that they had to. At the end of the day just happy we don't have to worry about who the QB1 is in 2025.

Damn, tell us how you really feel! Guess I'll never truly understand how topics can really get to people on a fan forum lol

don't even try my man - couple of them are convinced it didn't matter what Stafford wanted, he would have to go wherever the rams sent him.

Have we not been watching the last decade of trades in most major sports? Doesn't work that way anymore.

It's not factually incorrect - you seem pretty clueless about how trades work in the past decade.

Players are way more empowered now.

Stafford 100% would never have ended playing for a team he didn't want to.
