Well, I was doing better a couple of days ago.

When I was minding my own business, I had just completed the Los Angeles Rams team chapter for the FTN Almanac, which will be on newsstands or wherever, on the internet in July.

And it was all done, and we were all sort of celebrating with champagne, and then the

the Miles Garrett trade happened.

I'm going to tell you something right now.

As I was doing extensive rewrites to that chapter, the Aaron Donald rumors and posting happened.

So I wrote a couple sentences in there in the chapter which said, Aaron Donald is talking about coming out of retirement.

I don't want to think about it if it happens.

And we are definitely not revising this chapter if it happens.

So that's where we stand with the Los Angeles Rams right now.

This is the biggest all-in Rams move since the last big all-in Rams move.

The only time this offseason, when the Rams have been out of character, was when they drafted Ty Simpson.

And I think if the Rams had gone out there in the draft and said, hey, Kenyon Sadiq, another tight end, let's have 80 of them.

Or offensive lineman, we just need a guy.

Or a defensive back.

No one would have blinked about any of the other moves this offseason.

They're all in the win while Matthew Stafford is there, and they bring in Trent McDuffie, and now they bring in Miles Garrett, and you lose Jared Verst, but again, you trade a very, very good player for the best player in the league at that position, and you throw in the draft picks, and it's an all-in move.

The only thing that kind of rattles around in McCann mentally is, why did they go try to get their quarterback of the future, too, instead of getting one more guy for 2026?

But that's kind of like your Rams wisdom there.

That's like, oh, we're playing galactic chess.
