A sensitive commercial scenario for giants to obtain Matthew Stafford

New York giants need a veteran field marshal, which is known not only in the deep circles of the league, but also between anyone who follows the team and knows the game.

But as the speculation begins to intensify that the Los Angeles Rams could be willing to transfer Matthew Stafford to a team of the giants that some could see how desperate, given the period of grace granted to the general manager Joe Schoen and the Chief coach Brian Daboll, there is a belief that there is a belief that the Rams are in the driver’s seat when it comes to Stafford’s sale price and can demand a first round selection as part of compensation for their contract.

The Rams are not in the driver’s seat, much of him, thanks to his own fact.

Stafford has a bonus of the $ 4 million list due to March 19, which would reach the salary limit of the Rams if it is still on its list on that date. Therefore, if you want to optimize your savings, it is the best for your interest not to enter a back-And-Borth to move it.

Therefore, although they can certainly move on and ask for as many first round selections as they want, that does not mean that giants or any other team, in the case, agree.

Tyler Sullivan of CBS Sports, who presented Three potential commercial scenarios In order for three different teams to acquire the Rams field marshal, it has one that probably makes more sense for giants.

Sullivan proposes that the giants send their second round selection (No. 34 in general) and a second round of 2026 to the Rams in exchange for Stafford and that the giants do not include the general selection No. 3 of the draft, which currently currently They have, in the conversation.

“If two second round selections are made, it could be difficult to deny by Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll,” Sullivan wrote.

“While it would be good to find a more long -term option in the position, their two seats are expected to be quite hot at the beginning of the next season, and Stafford would give them a good opportunity to start strongly and cool the temperature, that should not be overlooked. ”

Sullivan also pointed out that having an additional second round selection this year would not be bad for Rams.

“Obtaining two second round selections would continue to be a solid return for the Rams, especially number 34 in general. In theory, they could pack that selection and its first round (No. 26) to ascend if a perspective they like begins to fall, ”he said.

Then, on the surface, it would be a mutual benefit for both teams if such agreement happened.

However, for giants, who plan to add a veteran anyway, Stafford represents the best option, and its presence would not necessarily eliminate the need to write a field marshal this year.

Rather, it gives them a solid veteran option to take control of the offensive. At the same time, a rookie aclima, and before someone argues that the third general selection should be ready to start running, remember that there is a precedent for giants to adopt this approach.

New York did exactly that with Eli Manning, the first general selection in the 2004 Draft whom they acquired through trade. Manning sat for more than half season behind Kurt Warner before taking control of the offensive, and the giants never looked back.

The greatest advantage for giants, in addition to having a proven veteran option, is that now it gives them a little more flexibility with the third general selection. The giants, who probably rework with Stafford’s contract if they acquire it through trade, will probably seek to give an agreement of three, or four years with an exit after two years.

If giants select a quarterback at number 3, that perspective can take their time in development. If you are ready this year, then great. If it is next year, then great. Anyway, giants will have the veteran option as an alternative.

And if the giants do not like any of the best field marshal in this kind of draft, which would be difficult to believe, they can be better available (Travis Hunter, Abdul Carter or Mason Graham would be options) or negotiate with a team yes.

The last option would possibly allow them Wait for it to be a much deeper class.

If we had discussed this agreement about five years ago, there would have been little matter that Stafford would be worth at least one first round selection. But although it is still a very good field marshal capable of raising the talent around him, the fact is that he is not only approaching at the end of his career, but he has also had some durability problems in recent seasons.

The proposed compensation of two second -round teams sounds more than fair for a team that seeks to move from a 37 -year -old field and optimize its limit savings in the agreement.

However, if the Rams insist on a first round selection, it may be sure that it will be a decisive factor not only for giants, but for any other team that may have interest.
