General NFL thread: 2019 Tom Brady's Legacy

[bucket]

Detroit is dealing QB Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for two future first-round picks, a third-round pick and QB Jared Goff, per sources. Two former No. 1 overall picks trading places in the first blockbuster NFL trade of 2021.

That's quite a haul

Next the Jets trade 8 future first rounders for Jared Goff

we make the dumbest trades.

Was just discussing with a friend, and we think it's a good move on the Rams part. We're both buzzed and idiots.

i mean i dunno anything and it's presumably all about valuing the picks vs the negative value of goff's contract but stafford isn't like, very good.

[waks]

Stafford is 32. That trade is very puzzling to me.

The trade is about giving them a shot to win next year or the year after.  Shortish window with Donald and Ramsey as elite players. I think it’s a good move, though wonder what it would have taken to get Watson instead.

No way Houston would have taken Goff’s contract.

Yeah. That’s true.

2 (!) first rounders + your previous 1st rd qb for 32 yr old Stafford is nuts. The rams already had like no draft capital

What is la's cap hit for this? I thought it was supposed to be like half the cap so it was basically impossible to trade Goff?
