You know, obviously the irony of Jordan Schultz's father being the longtime CEO of Starbucks is one thing, but to do it there in that public of a forum, like I got texts from, you know, NFL coach, NFL GM, three agents, four different media members that like, oh, there was just something. So that is the crossroads of all things.

No, I think that the Giants had the parameters in place and were willing to engage, but the Rams never went down that road in such a formal fashion. So they had conversations. Essentially, Stafford couldn't shop himself to any of these teams, not a free agent.

So what the Rams did was they gave Jimmy Sexton, his agent, who's a big power, he's Nick Saban's agent, he's Parcells' agent, like a big agent, the ability to go look at what the market would be. and the Giants were obviously interested, and the trade conference- But not for the first round pick, though, right?

And I know it from all angles because of my relationship with McVeigh, but also my relationship with Stafford. So it was, you know, go see what's out there and what destinations could be possible. And it came down to basically- the Raiders being very interested in the Giants.

And what I think the trade compensation would have been would have been Giants give up their second round pick, which is the 34th pick, and then the Rams give back a third round and Stafford. But then Stafford would need to tear up the contract and have a massive contract, which would have been paying him close to $15 million more per year than what he's essentially going to play for with the Rams.

And at the end of the day, like they went down this road And as it dragged on day by day by day, I think at one point, like on Wednesday, I was like, wow, it might actually happen. And it might actually be the Raiders or the Giants. But then by Thursday, when I got word that like Stafford and McVay were having breakfast at 6.30 in the morning in LA, I'm like, it's done.
