Blythe got offered 200k more to stay with the Rams than the Chiefs. But he was only a short term Ram solution, so maybe he just needed a fresh start.

Snead shared some stuff. I always felt McVay was more skilled at holding things back than Les. FWIW, he says "what can we do to sharpen our edge and keep our opponents guessing. With the Rams consistently winning since 2017 - there's a good chance that other teams are going to tap into winning organizations so we need to have a good 'next man up' to maintain the success we've had."

On trading for Stafford - you invested a lot in Jared Goff - so what was it like divesting from him. Was that easy because of the trade or hard?
Les: Gave accolades to Jared Goff while expecting Matt Stafford (me: I guess Les missed the memo of MS liking being called Matthew) to take the Rams to a higher level in the next 4-5 years. (not just the next 2 years)

Draft - Rams label "early picks" as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders. Talked about this in detail.
