You can sort of look at it and say, okay, they could get to a competitive level fast. Dayball puts a lot on his quarterback, likes to put a lot on his quarterback mentally. Stafford clearly can handle that. And there are jobs on the line. You know what I mean? It's go time for Joe Shane and Brian Dayball. I think the one if here is...
If they're not willing to give up this year's first round pick, if it's next year's first round pick, or if it's their two, which I think is 34th overall and something else, are the Rams willing to do that? It's a little complicated, but I think they're the most likely one.

And then another one that makes sense, we'll see how aggressive they are, is the Steelers, where that's another one where you look at timelines. I'm saying how the Rams timeline may not quite marry up completely with Stafford's. The Steelers have TJ Watt at going to be 31 years old. They've got Micah Fitzpatrick going to be 29 years old. They've got an offensive line that's coming together.

They've got George Pickens nearing the end of his rookie contract. The Steelers are also sort of in this window where it's like if they're going to get over the top with this core of players, now is sort of the time to do it.

Right. And I think that's the thing. The teams that have been involved here, the Giants pick third, the Raiders pick sixth, the Browns pick second. I don't think those picks are getting traded for Matthew Stafford. That doesn't make sense. That makes it complicated for those teams.

It's, you have to be a little creative with it. And I, again, like if, and this is like where ownership comes in too, right? Like with Brian Dayball and Joe Shane, like ownership's gonna be looking at it and saying like, well, we can't allow something completely reckless. Because maybe my GM and maybe my head coach are looking to save their jobs, right? So that one, I think, is interesting.

Again, I just think there's a reason for the Steelers and the Giants to work with urgency. The Browns make sense, too. I just don't know with that $92 million guarantee that's left for Deshaun Watson. I don't know how you meet Matthew Stafford's financial demands while still having like that anchor, you know, on your books.

Yeah, and I think Aaron might be willing to go there for a little less. And so then if you're the Rams, the equation becomes, okay, so we have Matthew Stafford, who's year to year. We're replacing him with another quarterback who's year to year. And are we better off with Stafford at 50? Or what if Rodgers will come here for 20?
