The Los Angeles Rams got their wish of shipping Jared Goff out of town. In return they acquired Matthew Stafford from Detroit. Before they settled for Stafford, they reportedly had their hearts set on a much bigger target.  Apparently the Rams made a run for Aaron Rodgers.

Deshaun Watson was out of their price range but Aaron Rodgers was reasonable? What were the Rams smoking? https://t.co/LAJLRGgHOc

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t attempt.

Why not shoot for Aaron Rodgers, he’s still playing at an extremely high level. Goff on the other hand doesn’t get anyone too excited.

Definitely a sign that Aaron Rodgers isn’t going anywhere.
