I think they just really hate that Goff contract. I don't blame them.

From what I've been reading, unwillingness to take on Goff's contract was what was holding up the deal.

When the Rams offered enough that the Lions relented, that's when it happened.

They just nuked Watson’s hope of getting traded. Idt anyone is trading 4-5 years worth of 1st round picks for one player. Maybe I’m wrong but that seems like it’s the price tag and I don’t think anyone can afford that. 
 

The Rams don’t have picks for years...but they’re in win now mode. I can’t think of a team in the Watson picture who would be in that mode. Maybe you could make the argument for the Panthers and Saints if they added him. But that’s a stretch.

We could only offer the next 3 firsts cant trade them further out than that.  Our other picks though would be in play.  We can probably forget them taking Teddy and we probably have to throw in whatever player they want too.  Sick.

The price for Stafford was likely a 1st and 3rd. The price for taking Goff's contract was a 1st. 

Don't assume that Watson is suddenly going to have to require 4-5 first round draft picks to obtain.

New board software has been a little weird for a lot of people.

The rams just clearing that contract is worth two 1st. They basically get Stafford for free.

Trading Teddy is going to require us giving up draft capital. I said this before the Stafford trade.

Of course but Goffs deal was worse than Teddys so...still insane pricetag for Watson.  I think he stays there anyway

The Rams haven't had a 1st round pick since 2016 yet they've had four consecutive winning seasons. That's the type of consistent success a Panthers fan could only dream about.

And I thought the Saints were in cap hell...

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

Person pointed out that even if it does, they're in a very good position to trade back if someone else wanted to move into that spot and take a quarterback.
