There had to be something else to get this to happen due to salary
His contract was up and he probably wasn’t going to sign with Denver. Because of his age, we would have only gotten a 5th round compensatory pick. We have tons of cap space so it makes sense for Denver to eat the cap but get way better picks for it. Plus the Rams gift traded is one of their starting ILBs last week for next to nothing.
Can’t imagine 2 trades between the same two position groups 7 days apart don’t have some overlap.

The crash and burn of the Rams will interesting to see in a few years. No picks and no salary cap space lol.
Worth it if they win it all
Theyve been in that mode the minute they moved back to LA. Even if they do win the title, nobody here is gonna give a shit as long as The Lakers and Dodgers keep it up. Theyre just above The Clippers in terms of hierarchy, but by a smidge. Right now having a brand new shiny stadium and winning will only help so much til after the Super bowl is here in 4 months. Cause whenever this ends, aint nobody gonna keep driving to Inglewood and forking over $75 to park their car for a non winning team. Hell, even when it was easy to get to the game people didnt show up.

Counterpoint: who gives a fuck? Super Bowl is a Super Bowl
Yesterday the tv was selling next weeks’ Chiefs Packers game as a game (or potential game) of the year. Both are quality teams, but the 2021 Chiefs have lost a lot of luster. They’re still a dangerous opponent in any given week. But like I said, they don’t have that shine we’re used to in the Mahomes era.
What is up with the chiefs anyway? They've made a few questionable high picks recently (Hardman, CEH). But Mahomes really is in a slump.
Their Defense is largely a disaster. On offense, all their money is tied up in the skill positions now and the O line is a mess.
30-40M QB contracts are team killers. I don’t think you can build a consistent SB contender with that much tied up with the QB because teams need too much depth.

The salary cap decreasing for the first time in forever didn't help.

Saints have been long time competitive starting most years near 100MM over. Cap goes up 20MM in 2022 so teams should have been able to manage a one year anticipated cap reduction (was 10-11MM i think).

Brees averaged $17M/season with the Saints. Hometown discounts help teams stay competitive a lot longer. (See: New England Patriots)

Name a Super Bowl winning quarterback that was top 5 QB paid the year his team won…

It doesn’t matter what Brees did. He was highest paid at one point. We have dead money in his retirement. Trust me, we clear between 50-110 million every offseason. It’s documented enough. We take the opposite approach of what New England does where they stack future assets. We tend to value current assets in cap strategy.

Why would that matter in the discussion? The point was the NFL teams would have to cover for a massive revenue drop a year they were also renewing or expanding television contracts. Kick the can.
The last winning SB QBs: Brady: always played on a heavy discount Mahomes: rookie contract Foles: literal backup Manning: took a massive pay cut his last year with Denver and we loaded up on o line and defense. Russell Wilson: Rookie contract. That vaunted D died when Russ got paid. Flacco: last year of rookie contract. Extension ruined Baltimore for years.
Eli Manning is probably the last high paid QB to win the SB and that NYG team that year was pretty trash. His contract dragged that team down for years too.

but should any of those teams let the guy walk?
obviously foles is different, but flacco was also coming in as that defense aged out if they let him walk they would've had nothing, now they have Lamar idk I think it worked out for most everyone. eagles really being a specific situation because of Wentz.
Collapse by the giants. It may not matter, but if they call the timeout with 2:35 to play. They’ll likely run and take it to the 2 minute warning where it’s 3rd and long. Holding the timeout allows them to run it now and you can still stop it at 1:55 or 1:54 or whatever but that’s a play. It’s goal to go so it’s not like a first is in the cards outside a penalty.
also the vaunted Seattle and Ravens defenses were at the end of their ropes, the #2 corner spot for Seattle became a joke, Thomas/chancellor fell off hard, Sherman declined and then wasn't worth the money he was making, Bennett became a world class asshole...Ravens were on the tail end of lewis/suggs, couldn't name one wr or RB besides Jacoby Jones in that game, flacco carried that offense
