I wouldn’t say it confirms that at all. Less likely for sure but still possible they could draft a QB. Goff isn’t a franchise guy and I believe with the Rams still on the hook for most of the guarantees, the Lions could move on from him easily in a year or two.

I thought that was a joke you gave up Goff which is a good young qb , two firsts and a third for Stafford ? Wtf , 

that’s why I’d stay away from trading for Watson 

this is gross makes me sick they gave that much sucks for them . 
 

I’ll laugh when Mac jones is better

I still think they take one. In perfect position for one and now have the capital for it not to matter. Plus he can sit behind Goff if needed and not only get experience but kill one year of Goffs horrible contract.

If Lions get a top QB in the draft and all this capital as well, I have respect for these moves. Smart, setting themselves up for the future.

I don’t think they will. The new coach said it will be a longer rebuilding process and I believe they will use the picks to fill all the other holes on the team. They have had decent QB play and not been able to contend so that should be the last thing they focus on now and they will give Goff time to show that he can be the future. The bee GM drafted Goff so he will wan to stick with him short term to see if he is the future and if not they will have multiple first round picks the next few years if they want a QB

OR they trade that pick to someone who needs a QB.

Yeah, that price was way to high.  I figured Stafford was going to cost more than most thought but 2 firsts and a third?  Damn.

The Rams are morons. 

Lol

Rams fuged themselves by overpaying Goff and now have to pay the price if they want to win now. If Stafford was younger I could agree with this trade. 
 

I’ve been following LA somewhat hard since McVay showed up and I’m not surprised by this. They’ve mortgaged their future for stars (Goff, Cooks, Ramsey) and have still proven successful.

Mitchell Trubisky 

the next great quarterback of the Carolina Panthers.

I hope this takes the Lions out of the running for a QB but I'm not at all sure that it does.

[Mr. Scot]

Multiple sources saying what helped seal the deal is that the Lions were willing to help the Rams get Jared Goff's contract off their books.

That allowed the Rams to offer more than other teams were willing to do.

This format was easier for me.

A lot of y'all are overlooking that a good chunk of those draft picks were literally just to get the Lions to absorb Goff's contract. That's why a lot of us have been saying Teddy has negative trade value. We'd literally have to give up draft assets to get another team to take him off our hands.

If I’m the lions, I send my two first rounders this year, my two first rounders next year, and Goff to the Texans for Watson now.

Not overlooking that whatsoever.  Teddys deal is nothing like Goff but 2 firsts and a third is insane regardless.
