But that’s what happened. He chose $40M in LA over $50M in LV or NY.

Lol, he was already making 40 mill this season, if they increased his cash to 40 from 27 he basically is getting 53

I'm not so sure. A pick swap at least. If you're willing to pay the guy 100 million guaranteed I have to believe you wouldn't be stingy on the draft price.
He had teams willing to trade for him and pay him $10M more than the Rams did. As well as include an extra year in the deal. The only way you couldn’t read this as Stafford choosing less money to stay in LA is if you already had some kind of weird personal vendetta against him.

It's a great day but we have plenty of work to do before we're back in Superbowl contender talk imo.
Schefter is plugged in with the Giants almost more than any other team and he is adamant they were never trading that pick.
The Giants aren’t going to take a QB at 3 *and* sign Aaron Rodgers. Won’t happen. If they felt really good about either QB they wouldn’t be entertaining the idea of Stafford or Rodgers.

I want to celebrate this but I also want the details. I celebrated when AD put off retirement after the SB, but I winced when I saw the numbers.
I think/hope that Snead avoided a deal that would shift serious new money into void years. Stafford is probably hanging it up after the '26 season, but we have the foundation to compete for division championships into the 2030's if we can pay our young talent.

Schoen and Daboll have both said the #3 pick was not on the table, they've always had plans to move up to #1 if Stafford wouldnt work
Well I think this worked out well overall. Now on to the draft.

I wouldn't listen to a GM saying they wouldn't move a pick. That would be bad negotiating. But it does sound like people close to them felt the same (that they wouldn't move it).

Yeah there's a lot of misunderstanding about what his current contract is and what this new deal might actually mean.
But it’s still less than what was on the table. And not just the money but the years too. He coulda gotten $100M guaranteed from LV.

If you're saying he got it from the GMs mouth then I trust it even less lol. Why would I tell a reporter during a negotiation that I might give up more than I want if it came down to it?
