Radio this morning said that Stafford might be headed to Atlanta for Ryan & picks

Would love that for Stafford. Play back in Georgia with crazy weapons at WR. Dont know if he’s winning a super bowl there but it would be fun to see him try.

The biggest loser in this trade is Philadelphia.

If it took two 1st & a 3rd to move Goff's contract, it going shitload of capital to move Wentz

Good haul for Detroit, but they’re likely to turn the two firsts into a long snapper and a fullback.

You do realize the Lions now have Goff’s ridiculous contract?

They can cut him after 2021 and owe him only 15.5 mil or they can cut him after 2022 and owe him frick all. I’m sure they’ll be just fine with the two extra first rounders and a second rounder from it.

Gotta feel bad for a guy like Goff here

Poor guy goes from a playoff team, living in LA to a shitty franchise living in Detroit
I know millionaires are millionaires anywhere, but it’s much bette being a Millionaire living in LA

What has Stafford done a football field to make you think he’s elite?

I agree. Goff got the shite end of this deal.... Detroit is a dumb and the franchise has been a joke for many years.... you can give them all the draft picks you want but they will not use them wisely.... plus you have a HC that’s says “We are gonna bite knee calves off”. Goff will get hit plenty and get hurt...... that’s the Lions way.....

The good news is that in the rust belt you can live like a king for the amount of money that it takes just to keep up with the Joneses in LA.

I’m not advocating for living anywhere near Detroit itself but I’ve lived in Indiana and I preferred the weather there to Arkansas. Being able to go outside in the summer is nice.

Yeah I get that. Weather in general is probably a foreign concept to most Californians and I’m envious.

This also isn’t your basic Joe Schmoe insurance agent sitting in a cube 5 days a week trying to sell orangutan insurance to grandmas and grandpas

Curran: Stafford nixed New England as a trade destination

And now, for a localized aftershock: Stafford told the Lions they could send him anywhere but New England.

This comes from a source whose team was heavily involved in Stafford trade negotiations but failed to land him. Stafford, of course, is a Ram after Los Angeles sent a huge haul to Detroit for the one-time Pro Bowler.

I was going to ask how the hell Stafford has only been a one time pro bowler then I remember he’s been in a conference with Rodgers and Brees his entire career. Between those two, a bunch of guys have been fighting for that third spot (Ryan, Dak, Wilson, Kirk, Cam).

Dude will likely be a HoFer and may only have a couple of PBs to his name. I think Rivers will have the same issue as well with Peyton/Brady and then Ben/mahomes/Jackson.
