The Los Angeles rams shocked the NFL world by doing the first off-season trailer on Saturday – but not before attempting to make an even bigger splash.
Before the Rams landed on Matthew Stafford, the team made a turn at Aaron Rodgers. according to the Los Angeles Times. Only after the Packers informed the team that Rodgers was unavailable did they enter into an agreement to land the other NFC North fullback.
It has been speculated that the Packers may move into Rodgers’ off-season after trading in the first round of the 2020 draft to draft fullback Jordan Love. The speculation reached a fever level after Rodgers made cryptic remarks following the Packers’ NFC championship loss to the Buccaneers.
“There are a lot of guys’ futures that are uncertain – me included,” Rodgers said.
However, Rodgers silenced many of these concerns after appearing on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’. And after the Packers repelled the Rams, it seems almost certain that Rodgers will return to Green Bay in 2021.
The Rams sent two future picks in the first round, a third round and former QB Jared Goff, to the Lions for Stafford. It was reported that several other teams were hot on the trail of LA to gain the star quarterback, but Los Angeles was able to offer two first-rounders, although Detroit is now stuck with the giant contract that Goff signed before the 2019 season .
