Was Matthew Stafford plan B to Aaron Rodgers?
Rams Trade of QB Matthew Stafford ‘Welcomed’ as Aaron Rodgers Jets Backup Plan (fannation/ramsdigest)
“And per one report, the Rams would’ve liked if quarterback Matthew Stafford was among them.
“The Rams would have (we’re told) welcomed the opportunity to trade Stafford,” ProFootballTalk wrote. “If Aaron Rodgers hadn’t decided to join the Jets, Stafford could have become the Plan B, if he would have been willing to go to New York.”
This comes on the heels of Los Angeles essentially committing $57 million to Stafford on Friday, as his $31 million base salary was guaranteed and $26 million option bonus will be picked up since he was still employed by the team on the pre-designated date of Mar.
