I’m not sure how the salary cap works with this trade. Stafford was owed a lot of money as well so it isn’t like the Lions were dealing a young QB at the end of his rookie deal.

Goff is better than Trubisky. All the stats back that up, Goff at least took the team that drafted him and helped get them to a Super Bowl.

This is more about McVays ego and the Rams over paying players. The Rams did the same thing with Gurley, gave him a big contract and the soured on him and cut him a few years later.

Loins new GM was previously with the Rams so he knows what he is getting with Goff.
