Last offseason McVay called the owner to get his agreement to trade the QB he agreed to work with when he took the Rams' job. Does it make sense to think he wouldn't be able to tell the owner he wants to redo his deal? That he'd have to play silly games in the media to get a pay raise?
It doesn't wash. None of it does.
I think McVay was simply being honest that family matters to him. But he's also a rock star. He'll get whatever he wants at this point and everyone knows it. Oh you want to be GM? Ok. Sorry Les. Oh you want to be Team President? Ok. Sorry Kevin.
At some point he'll transition out of HC to different roles and I assume that Kroenke is the type of owner who would offer him what he wants in his organization. You don't let a guy like McVay go. Not unless he really wants out. So this entire thing is nonsense. It's made up by people in the media who know McVay might be on the path to building a dynasty and are rooting for him to not do it in LA.
