Moving forward I don’t see the improvement Stafford provides over Goff, especially considering the draft and financial costs.

Trading Goff for Stafford accelerates some cap to this year but saves them money in 2022 and overall.

If they kept Goff it'd be $35M, $33M, $32M and $28M the next 4 years against the cap. Assume they cut him after 2022 and it's $35M, $33M, $9M dead money for '21-'23.

Trading him accelerates $22M in bonuses to this year's cap but Stafford's salaries and roster bonuses are "only" $20M and $23M.

Cap hits including Goff dead money will be $42M this year and $23M in 2022. So actually a few million less than had they kept Goff over the two seasons and no obligations after that.

Two firsts and a third is certainly a steep price though.

Plus Goff is leaving McVay while Stafford is just getting to start working with him. That's also part of the reason their talent levels seem relatively close if you look at the numbers

They traded Michael Brockers to Detroit for a 7th Rd pick. A straight-up dump like that almost makes it seem like Brockers ought to have been a PTBNL from the Stafford-Goff trade.

#Rams RB Cam Akers suffered a torn Achilles while training, per source. Brutal blow for L.A., which loses its leading rusher from last season a week before camp begins.

Here you go, for anyone that wants to read a little story on Billionaires fighting over a few cents.

I have to say though, I see Kroenke's logic. But if what Mara is saying is true, that no owner would've voted in favor of the move if not for the indemnification, then I don't see how you can try and change the terms now.

So the Rams now sit with a compensatory 3rd round pick, 5th, and 7th round picks for the 2022 draft. 

 

We're trained in Baltimore to understand the importance of drafting well and the Rams are just like, "nah". We harp on needing to hit on first round picks. The Rams haven't, and unless they trade for one, won't pick in the first round from 2017-2023.

Unless they get perpetually lucky with their late round picks, the chickens will be coming home soon.
