yeah and Todd Gurley wasn't going to get cut and neither was Cooks

If the Eagles can trade Carson Wentz then the Rams could trade Goff if they actually wanted to do that

that's the point of the thread...

Then the answer is the Rams don’t want to trade Goff. Not yet, anyway.

They probably don't....yet. But it's a worthy discussion. Depending on how the rest of the season goes, it probably will be brought up as something to consider in Rams headquarters.

Last year the Eagles had no interest in trading Wentz. But they did have enough concern to draft Hurts in the 2nd so you know the front office discussed Went's future and the possibility of maybe needing to trade him down the line. Now I'm sure those discussions will be intensifying.

Point being, fans are always so quick to dismiss the possibility of trading or cutting players we're emotionally attached to. Like Cooks and Gurley. We always say there's too much money tied up to make that move.

But as evidenced by Gurley being cut, Cooks being traded, and Wentz being benched, NFL teams will do whatever is necessary to win including taking the hit on high profile players with expensive contracts.
