The Rams made big moves at the cornerback position by acquiring CB Trent McDuffie and signing him to a four-year, $124 million contract, along with signing CB Jaylen Watson to a three-year, $51 million deal. One anonymous NFL executive told Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports that he admires Los Angeles for trying to contend for a Super Bowl in Matthew Stafford‘s “last shot” at a title.
“How can you not admire them for going for it? They know that with a 38-year-old quarterback, this is their last shot, maybe for a couple of years. So screw the future. Go for it now. If they win the Super Bowl, no one will care if they have to suffer for a couple of years.”
The Seahawks lost several key players on the open market this offseason, including RB Kenneth Walker, S Coby Bryant, CB Riq Woolen, and EDGE Boye Mafe. An anonymous NFL executive told Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports that players on Super Bowl-winning teams have inflated prices as free agents.
“It’s the price of winning a championship,” the executive said. “Everyone suddenly thinks they’re the best player at their position. And everyone thinks they’re worth more than you do.”
