Stafford to the Rams, Goff to the Lions

Seems a little lopsided to me in favor of Detroit but I don't know all the contract deals and how it will affect against the cap this upcoming year. I know Goff was way overpaid for just being mediocre.

 

Anyone know Staffords contract? I know Rams wanted to get off the hook on some 40mill guaranteed to Goff

 

Stafford is a baller, very glad he didn't go to the Colts as that would have been terrible for us. I do think the Rams overpaid! Detroit getting Goff and 2 first round picks and a third is nuts but if Rams make it to Superbowl and win then it's justified. We'll see...

 

Indeed.

 

Stafford has 2 yrs left on his deal at a cap hit of around 20mil a yr....the Rams have like 140mil dollars tied up in 6 players plus Gurley and Goff who still count against them

 

People are acting like they gave up all those picks for Stafford, but I think a lot of that was the cost of getting someone to take Goff. His contract is crippling.

Lions win because they get a ton of picks.
Rams win because they upgraded QB short term and got out of Goff's contract.

 

Lions can get out of Goff contact after 2 years without any dead money. Rams have Stafford for 2 years 43 million. I like the trade for both teams. Best part is he ain't going to the Colts. I said he wouldn't but was still worried lol.Stafford can now live closer to his long time best friend Clayton Kershaw

 

Yes or he’d be with the Rams.

 

Just to understand, you are saying Watson will get less than the Stanford trade? Not questioning, just clarification request.

 

Lions wanted a 1st for Stafford.

So the Rams basically gave this year's 3rd and a future 1st (probably late) to get Stafford and gave another 1st to get them to take Goff.

I'm not sure this really means anything as far as raising the price to get Watson.
