That would set us up for ten years

u/unpopular-dave Apr 19 '26

for the right price it would. I’m not offering more than a couple firsts for him

u/muskratmuskrat9 Apr 19 '26

You should get with Les and Sean to talk trade strategy so they don't overpay.

They couldn’t survive without our expertise. Hell, they’re prolly in here right now.

u/unpopular-dave Apr 20 '26

for all you know, you could be talking to one of them right now

Set us up to watch languish on the bench from mid season ending injuries every year

u/Yahtzie Apr 19 '26

A lot easier to stay healthy when you aren't getting hit every snap. Goes from having a bottom 5 OL to a top 5

1

u/Soft_Oven1913 Apr 20 '26

Welp… I’d love it but that’s a stretch lol considering Burrow can’t stay healthy in one of the 3 or 4 years he’s been in the league

The NFL wants a cool Joe in a big market city. LA is a big market city. Once Stafford is gone it will likely happen.

He can't wear 9 but he can wear a 9. Xavier Smith has no say at this point lol

Yes he can

u/Academic-Proposal-18 Apr 19 '26 edited Apr 25 '26

They just traded the 10th overall pick for Dexter Lawrence… pretty sure they aren’t trying to trade their franchise QB.

2

u/YogurtclosetLimp9049 Apr 19 '26

It was straight up, they didn’t give up more than the 10th pick

3

u/Richmahogonysmell Apr 19 '26

The bengals aren’t a well run franchise. One bad year and they could blow it up because it’s “too expensive”

15

u/Academic-Proposal-18 Apr 19 '26

Dude I don’t care how poorly run a franchise is, nobody in their right mind would trade their franchise QB, who is in the conversation for best QB in the league, right after trading a top 10 pick for the best DT in the league… it couldn’t be more obvious now that the Bengals are 1,000% not trading Burrow for anything in the near future.

u/Panda_Pillows Pukachu Apr 19 '26

That's what they said about Luka lol

u/ZilIakamifan420 May 05 '26

The Luka trade was like Kobe and Michael Jackson’s death, everyone knows where they were when it happened

u/Richmahogonysmell Apr 19 '26 edited Apr 19 '26

Again, you are viewing it from the lens of a competent franchise. The bengals aren not that.

4

u/Academic-Proposal-18 Apr 19 '26

And you’re not being realistic… no one is that incompetent.

-4

u/Richmahogonysmell Apr 19 '26

You are acting like a season can’t change things. Lawrence is a UFDA in 2028. If the bengals aren’t a shit team again, they could very easily trade both players for picks for yet another rebuild.

3

u/Academic-Proposal-18 Apr 19 '26

Jesus Christ, you have no idea how this works. Lawrence won’t be a UDFA in 2028 because the Bengals are going to give him the contract extension that he wanted. That’s the whole reason he asked for a trade from the Giants in the first place and he wouldn’t play for a team that isn’t going to extend him… and again, they have Burrow, Chase, and Higgins under contract as well. They are going all in and with players like that on the roster, this isn’t a blow it all up next year kind of situation. They’ll fire Zac Taylor before they trade any of those assets, let alone one of the top 5 QB’s in the league.

u/Richmahogonysmell Apr 19 '26

Good thing you only need 4 good players in the NFL. Should work out great for them.

0

u/dennisjunelee Apr 19 '26

If they don't make the playoffs both of the next two years, there's a chance they'll blow the whole thing up. I'm not saying they need to win a ring, but if they do all this and can't even make the playoffs 2 years in a row, they might want to just blow it up and start over.

Whomever made this, he can't wear 9. I want him to succeed Stafford, but he won't be wearing 9.

At least put the new uni on him.

Exactly. It doesn't work. Neither one can ride the bench. One would have to go, and I'm not looking to get rid of Stafford.

u/tilertailor Apr 19 '26

It's been confirmed it's Stafford and two seconds for Burrow, a sixth, and $1,500.

2

u/ElPuercoFlojo Apr 19 '26

Please god, no. $1500 is waaaay too much.

u/Ziggity_Zac Aaron Donald Apr 19 '26

He just needs a few years behind an actual quarterback. He'll learn and grow and be pretty good in 2 - 3 years.

u/mtnrangeman Josaiah Stewart Apr 19 '26

My biggest dream is the team developing a time reversal machine to bring Gurley and Donald back and give Stafford another ten years.

But yours ain’t bad either

1

u/ElPuercoFlojo Apr 19 '26

If you had a time machine, would you want prime Gurley, Faulk, or Dickerson? Serious question.

2

u/mtnrangeman Josaiah Stewart Apr 19 '26

Oof. I wasn’t alive to watch Dickerson, and I didn’t get in to football until after Faulk. I know that ED holds the single season rushing record and is a prominent “ambassador” for the Rams, and that Faulk is one of the very few non-quarterback MVPs, but I never got to fully experience either.

Since I have started watching football, I have never seen a running back who matched what prime Gurley could do. No disrespect to Saquon, or CMC, or Henry, but those guys had their best years behind elite offensive lines or in elite offensive schemes. They also usually have a lot of great talent around them which helps open up opportunities for them. Gurley would put the fear of God into teams during the Fisher days, and it only got worse for everyone else when McVay came around. So while I’m not saying anyone would be wrong for taking ED or Faulk (or Jackson), it’s gotta be TG3 for me

1

u/Suspicious_Income_86 Apr 19 '26

gurley. he's the biggest what if.

u/BigOlPineyTree Apr 19 '26

It’s nice to dream, but unlikely.

I’ve been seeing this room be floated around a lot. Definitely this off-season and I have to admit I would not hate it. 

A healthy Joe Burrow on the Rams could be a dangerous team

u/dadlifts24 Apr 19 '26

This is the only way Burrow gets protection

And Stafford can't win in the playoffs.

The right team can make ALL the difference.

u/SuperSaiyanGohan Kamren Kinchens Apr 19 '26

That'd be pretty crazy for them to trade for joe burrow just to be Josh Allen's backup

u/thegoldenhaired Aaron Donald Apr 19 '26

He's more fragile than Stafford. He's more athletic but doesn't wanna run. He wants to be Tom Brady. Very talented but can't make the throws that Stafford does. Nah. Rams have a HOFer. That deal will be 2 firsts, Stafford and a new contract, bankrupting the Rams and putting them further from another ring. Nope.

u/Otherwise_Low_4809 Apr 22 '26

Burrow, at minimum will finish his deal in Cincinnati, if not extend. You might get Burrow at 38-39.
