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?

If Rodgers comes here for 20, now we've got the extra $30 million to spend, plus we get the assets that are coming back in a Stafford trade. And that's how you can start to wrap your head around the whole thing. You know what I mean? Now, it doesn't solve the question of who's going to be the quarterback beyond this year.

But if Stafford isn't going to agree to do that for you, well, you're in that position either way, you know? So Rodgers is an interesting answer. I think Sean McVay likes Jimmy Garoppolo more than people realize. And could he go in and win with Garoppolo as sort of, I use this example with Sam Darnold and potentially going to the Raiders. Could he be like Alex Smith in Kansas City?

You know what I mean? Where Alex Smith was a really, really high-end bridge with a great offensive coach that got them to the playoffs four times in five years and bought them time to find Patrick Mahomes. I think some of these quarterbacks that we're talking about, that's the upside with them. Sean's got, obviously, supreme confidence in his ability to coach a quarterback up.

And I do know that he thinks Jimmy's got something left in the tank and can be a starter in the league.

This is complicated, of course, by, again, the guaranteed money left. He has $27.5 million fully guaranteed. He's getting that money one way or the other. If he is on the roster through the beginning of the league year, $10 million for next year, for 2026, becomes fully guaranteed.

The Falcons are looking at this and saying, okay, so you have either we're one year at a $90 million number minus the offset, which he would do what Russell Wilson does, go get the minimum somewhere. So one year at $90 million, or do we keep him as our backup? And then we're talking about a two-year $100 million commitment. And how does that affect your young quarterback?
