Matt Stafford is the suckiest suck to ever suck

[jaadam4]

Oh well

[froot loops]

Great news.

[Mainevent]

His new deal also is clearly calculated to allow the Rams to retain more of their championship core while adding new pieces, since Stafford almost certainly could have received more money at the top of the quarterback market.

That’s what you do when you have a championship team. Not when you are ARE the team.

[JGSpartan]

It's a little bit misleading though. Both Stafford and Rodgers end up with a final 3 years averaging 50 and 51 mil respectively. Stafford's first two years being significantly lower have a lot more to do with their previous money owed than taking a discount. Both players reduced their current salaries to just above league minimum.

Watson's full details aren't out yet. Houston has to eat his remaining signing bonus though so his might be a little bit higher per year. Spotrac only has 10 mil this year though so the next 4 will average 55 unless the 16 dead from Houston is technically part of his total still. Then it would be 51 like Rodgers.

Yeah, Stafford hasn't really left money on the table here, and it would be nice if they reported as much. He didn't give the Rams a "discount." He gave them cap flexibility in the short term.

Fuckin scandalous that the ad makers cut the end there. 🤦♂️
Right after that last part, a ceiling fixture fell down square on the lassies head, blood everywhere! Staffy was like, “OH FK!” and ran out the door.
Apparently he’s in hiding now. All new phone contracts scrapped. Lassie on a life support machine.
Shocking! Stay the fk away from Michigan, Matt! You’re not welcome!

[jaadam4]

I’d take him back

[TheLondonLion]

Stafford was never coming back.

[chemiclord]

Of course he wasn't. Just like Verlander isn't coming back. But there are fans who cling to the idea of past heroes returning to restore glory to the fallen Detroit franchises.

[TheLondonLion]

I remember people saying Golden Tate would come back at the end of the season he was traded.

The Stafford return would be a great story but there’s no way Kelly is giving up Malibu for Michigan. She clearly loves the vapid LA celebrity lifestyle.

[froot loops]

He just won a Superbowl, of course he was staying there.

[TheLondonLion]

Yeah the Staff ship has sailed sadly.

[CGVT]

I heard that Barry was thinking of making a comeback

[JGSpartan]

The reality is players do return rarely after playing elsewhere or retiring. People just think it will happen far more than it ever does.

[Dan V]

But he did love his phone got the past twelve years
