Godwin just got $44M guaranteed. So the Adams deal keeps looking better.

Interesting thing about Adam's contract structure.

It's essentially a one year deal. There is a minimal amount of guaranteed $$ the second year so is that to make him trade bait?

So when you look at their moves Stafford, Adams and Atwell are all basically on one year deals. Yeah this feels like 2021 again. So it doesn't change their overall plans beyond this year. I think this is a one year push to get rings for Stafford and Adams and one more Lombardi for Stan before the party ends next year.

Theoretically they can run it back again in 2026 but that would make them go through all this negotiation and expense again. No I think this is a one of. If Jimmy is on the roster next year it will be as a backup or bridge.

Stan and Les have loaded one more bullet in the chamber to give it a shot. They knew they were on the cusp last year and so do I. The top teams in the AFC are churning their rosters so it looks like an optimum time for a complete Rams team to steal another trophy for Stan's trophy case.

Depends. Once you win the Lombardi, the only thing better is running it back. Didn't work last time but I could see #9 being in horns for 2026. Adams too. No guaranteed money for Adams could mean trade bait. It could also mean restructure, adding guarantees with 2026 cap relief. Why look at it from the pessimistic side? You were sure Stafford was a goner this year!!

You said all of this last year. Stafford's restructure for 2024 was basically a 1 year deal. Now they've done it again.

They could easily do it a third time for 2026 and still have Adams under contract too.

We shall see.

One thing we know for sure: Rams want to win while Stafford is still the QB...

To add, not only in 2025, but also. 2026. They are set up for at least a 2 year run before they have to get really creative with contracts and extensions. Provided A. The main players stay healthy and B. Staff, Adams don’t retire after winning a Chip.

Next year they will have to start paying that defense...need to add some rookie pay to some areas of the roster to offset it.
