I have no idea if burning a cheesehead will win over Rodgers, but I gue s it can't hurt.Why would he want to win over Rodgers? Because the ball is currently in Rodgers' court.

The Bucs definitely need a quarterback and unlike the other three teams listed above, they don't have a top-10 pick in the draft, which means if they want to add a QB, it will likely have to be in free agency, which is why Garoppolo could make sense.Breech: The sign a former NFL MVP. I wanted to give myself a few options here, so I went as vague as po sible with my bold prediction. The 49ers have hinted that they're going to sign a veteran and I won't be surprised at all if they add (a former NFL MVP), who would be reuniting with Kyle Shanahan. Also, let's not rule out the po sibility of the 49ers talking a former NFL MVP () out of retirement.Brinson. trade for . The Chiefs offense is already scary and Brinson thinks they're going to make it even scarier by adding Hopkins. The receiver is on the trading block in Arizona and if the Chiefs were to get him, we should probably just go ahead and hand them the Lombardi Trophy.Mox: trade for .

According, the Rams are currently $16.14 million over the cap, which is the fourth-worst number in the NFL.To free up some space, there was speculation that the Rams might trade away MATTHEW STAFFORD, but general manager Les Snead shot down that rumor on Thursday. Here's what we know about the Rams' trade rumors that are floating around. How the Stafford trade rumor started. The thanks to former NFL general manager Michael Lombardi, who had this to say on , "Matt Stafford is fully available," Lombardi said. "They would love to trade him . They can't easily do it, because he's got $57 million guaranteed. But they're trying to get out from it. They've called teams, I know this."Snead shoots down the Stafford speculation. The Rams general manager met with the media on Thursday and seemed to indicate that Stafford wouldn't be going anywhere. "I think we're going to definitely rely on Matthew. He's definitely one of our pillars." Snead specifically mentioned Stafford as one of three key players that the team can still build around. "When you have someone like Matthew Stafford, players like (WR) , (DL) , there's some weightbearing walls there that we still have Cole Schwindt Jersey and we're going to rely on those."Why we should believe him. When a GM talks about anything related to the draft or free agency during the offseason, it's hard to take it at face value. However, Snead's comments about Stafford do seem believable and that's mostly because he ducked almost every other trade-related question. There has been speculation that the team might trade , or Allen Robinson and he didn't exactly deny that, "I'm going to keep the specifics of those in-house because time will tell," Snead said. "I know we've communicated with a lot of our players those included. We're trying to a se s situations, figure out how to get under the cap, what's the best way to do that."Rams have been contacted about nine players for a po sible trade. One interesting thing Snead noted is that he's had trade discu sions about NINE different players, "I'm not going to get into who we've actually taken calls about, but I can say this that we've probably taken calls on nine players," the GM said. "I think I counted before this pre s conference, definitely discu sed."What this all means is that we'll probably see the Rams make at least one trade between now and the start of free agency on March 15. However, don't look for that trade to involve Stafford.
