N/S Tom Pelissero:Rams Give Matthew Stafford Permission to Speak with Other Teams (29 Viewers)

So it sounds like this is really about the Rams letting Stafford's agent shop him so they can figure out what a reasonable contract extension would be.

I swear he has got one of the most punchable noses.

This makes it pretty clear how bad Carr's contract is for this year and next. $40 million this year and $50 million next year. It's just distasteful to pay Carr that much more than Stafford. Not that Stafford would make sense for us right, but it makes it clear how little sense Carr makes for this team in this position with that contrat.

Whoever is responsible for this should quit ... Mickey.

He does.
You can't miss. Easy to spot

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?

Carr won’t cost anywhere near a 1st though or even a 2nd.

Which is a perfect reason to get it off the books in the next few weeks. I hope Loomis and Moore are up to the task.

Stafford has had one foot out of the door into retirement for a couple of years now. I don’t question his heart, I question his desire to want to continue playing. It’s not the same. We need a veteran QB that has both going for them.

All he has to do is cut him.

Not really. Carr, and now Stafford, would be the only 2 quarterbacks on the market worth a darn. And it’s not like they’re miles apart in talent. Plus, Carr would likely only cost a 4th rounder. Much less than the Rams are asking for.

 

[whodatbe]

Interesting. Stafford is perfect for that team, but I guess the Rams will let other teams set the price.

 

[jasonsw]

He's old and even older body wise. He has had some severe injuries. Including when he couldn't throw a football.

Mathew Stafford

Young and coming QB

Which one would you want?????
