We are horrible. It won't matter who our QB is if we can't protect him. I hope they'll draft OL but they won't.
Stafford is my choice from that list.
IMHO I don't think Aiden O'Connell is that bad of a QB. We just need consistent protection for him.
Got a tip for us?

alas, it appears that Stafford is staying with the Rams
Extending his contract. 📑 https://www.nfl.com/news/matthew-stafford-heading-back-to-rams-for-fifth-season-in-la
Probably the wisest move. Rams' defense is good, and young. Team rebounding pretty quickly from rebuild mode.
Carroll has as good a chance as anyone at building a winning culture with the Raiders, working with the new GM, but it will take time.
Over the weekend, ESPN Radio talking heads were discussing, or trying to, at least, Green Bay's proposal to ban the Tush Push. The ex-DL player did a better job at reasoning, and presenting a cogent argument, than the never-played-the-games types.
I won't miss if it they do ban it.
I suspect that for Stafford, the most likely outcome was always going to be that the Rams would make some more money available, plus getting some additional money guaranteed seems to have been a goal for him. I read somewhere that he's made $364,000,000 over his NFL career, so he's done really well in the money department
He's old enough that the Rams are likely to be his best opportunity for another trip to the Super Bowl, and that may have been a factor too.

Saves cap space but he has the option to return on a cheap deal.
Hey @Dan Barbera, this may be of interest...

From nepotism to staggeringly bad contracts: the NFL’s most hopeless franchises
Plenty of the league’s teams are bad. But there are a select few for whom hopes of a turnaround in fortunes are a distant prospect
The RAIDERS weren't even mentioned!?!? wow.Hey @Dan Barbera, this may be of interest...

Third round pick for Smith? Pete must really like him.
Seattle seems to be doing a big revamp of its offense.
We'll see what else the new league year will bring.

Funnily, pro athletes have a different definition of "winning" than us normal folk. Chances are, Cleveland won't be doing much winning, but Garrett will have 123 million guaranteed to console himself.
Miller hasn't been the same since he left Denver.
Still not convinced. Nice comeback after a poor start to his career, but one good regular season, followed by a dud in the playoffs. But I guess the NFL QB talent pool being what it is, that can get your a nice contract.
Davante Adams is signing with the Rams, so the Rodgers bromance looks like it will take another break. He'll have 26 million guaranteed to lift his spirits, but the Rams can also fulfill the "winning" part.
The contracts being handed out so far have been absolutely crazy.
And for some mediocre, if not bad players as well.
NFC West will look very different, with big roster overhauls in Seattle and San Francisco.
Justin Fields looks to the next victim in NY. And so on…
NFL Network last night talking about how Fields will give the Jets a great running QB since he averaged 50 yds per game just below Jackson. I'm pretty sure that has nothing to do with the Jets being the Jets.
