Ok, so in your opinion what would we get for Rodgers and Adams?
I would be surprised if we got more than two firsts for Rodgers. He might retire the next year, and the Broncos aren't one piece away. Stafford is younger, and the Rams were far closer to contention when that trade was made, and they're a lot more "all in" than the Broncos.
I don't think we get much for Adams. Suitors lining up for the privilege to pay a WR $30M annually won't be plentiful.
But Stafford and Rodgers aren't the same guy. Stafford had a history of not winning football games. Rodgers has a history of winning football games . . . until they get in the playoffs.
I was astonished when the Rams decided Stafford was the guy to put them over the top.
A case could've been made last year that Stafford was a franchise guy toiling away in a dysfunctional organization. He was 32, would have a great team around him, could be around for years, and the Rams were only weak at QB. So that could be worth two firsts, a second, and a Goff salary dump for a team missing only a QB.
As for Rodgers, he turns 39. He could decline any minute or retire soon. He's been a diva lately and has some playoff embarrassments. Denver is still some players away. Would they gut their team to the tune of 3 first rounders plus players to get a Rodgers rental and still not be a top contender? I highly doubt it.
