It appears that Matthew Stafford had a lower trade price than initially thought.
According to NFL Network's Peter Schrager, the first round pick, or the Giants' third-place pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was not on the table in a potential deal for the Rams QB.
“I know it from all angles, not just from my relationships. [Rams coach Sean] Not just McVay, but his relationship with Stafford,” Schlager said. About “Bil Simmon's Podcast” It was released on Tuesday. “I think there was trade compensation, as the Giants give up their 34th pick, the second round pick, and the Rams give up their third round and Stafford.
“But then, Stafford has to rip the contract apart and have a massive contract that will essentially pay nearly $15 million a year than what he's trying to play for the Rams.”
The Giants were prepared to pay $900 million to $100 million at the age of 37, following the Post's Paul Schwartz. NFL network rich embroidery Big Blue reported that it satisfied Stafford's contract request and trade compensation with Rams.
However, Stafford chose to stay in Los Angeles in a restructured deal.
By maintaining QB's Hollywood address, the Giants are sent back to the inactive free agency market with fewer crops than the draft pass-sloader suppression.
They're not the only ones competing to add arms before the 2025 season begins. The Raiders also expressed interest in Stafford.
Among the top names available in the open market is Sam Darnold, who doesn't want to return to the Big Apple after a tough start to his Jets career.
Rogers may not even have to leave town to find a suitor because he is short on arms and is not supplying them.
