N/S Tom Pelissero:Rams Give Matthew Stafford Permission to Speak with Other Teams (27 Viewers)

I really wish the Saints could be one of those teams interested.

I can't imagine them getting more than a 4th rounder for him. He's got a year or two left. But then again, the Jets.

I heard they're seeking a first-round pick. That's why the Giants have been listed as top suitors.

 

[RaginSaint93]

Well I don’t want him

 

[rlemieux]

They want a first round pick. They’ll get it if he’s moved I’d assume.

They very well may get it (I doubt it). But dang, would you give away a first round pick for a guy who's been contemplating retirement each offseason the last 2-3 years?

We need youth. Stafford is four years older than Carr. No thank you.

This is a team that won their division, won a road playoff game, and lost to the eventual Super Bowl Champs by 1 score.

But they understand moving on from old players with big contracts better than Mickey with 4 years without a playoff appearance.

This hurts us because Carr's trade value goes down. Any slight chance that we had to trade him just decreased significantly. Which QB would you rather trade for if you were the Jets, Giants, Raiders, etc?

You’re not smarter than McVay…if you make this trade you’ve convinced yourself that you are

 

[Elvis]

If traded he'd be owed $70m over 2 years. That seems like an ok deal as a free agent for a player of his ability if you were on the cusp of winning but lacked a QB. But to give up a 1st round pick to then have to pay that seems extreme. Maybe a team like the Steelers could do that since their 1st rounder is at 21, but it still seems to rich for me.

I would definitely take Carr for the 5th rounder it would likely cost over Stafford for a 1st. The money owed to them is comparable, and with Carr you don’t have to worry about him retiring in a season.

I asked you. Would you do it?

Stafford is considerably cheaper. In 2025, he’s owed $27m vs $40m for Carr. He’s also due $58m over the next two years compared to $90m for Carr.

He may want some new money if he gets traded, but I don’t think any team will give him $90m+ for two years.
