Stafford has been very public about his number one goal: Winning. (His words, not mine). He’s not going to want to leave because we want to pay him $25m instead of $30+ million. The Colts give Stafford the best chance of winning. Period. Leaving the Colts for a money grab would be the worst look possible for him. I don’t see that as a worry. Honestly. My bigger concern is the cost in draft picks to acquire him. There may be a bidding war, which could prove very expensive. At some point, I could see Ballard dropping out. We will likely know in the next 6 weeks. -

He is 33 and has 2 years left on reasonable contract. After that you will have to give him a contract in the realm of what other top QBs are getting now and he will be getting older... So you will either have to pay big or lose him and this is while all our young pieces are moving out of their rookie contracts... So we will start losing some of them. So IMO IF we get Stafford this will be the golden window to try to go all in... Use Stafford's best remaining years at the best contract you will have him at, to try to surround him with best talent we can get while our young player are still cheap. Later he will be older/worse on worse contract and our young studs we either be paid much more (less money to get reinforcement elsewhere) or will be gone. So... Go all in NOW. This doesn't mean you concede the later years, but IMO the best chance we have are the next 2 years if we get Stafford. This is legitimate Superbowl contender if we can get one of the top receivers, a very good pass-rusher and some solid CBs. -

Odds are you can’t do all that because the salary cap is going down roughly $15-20 million. We’re likely going to need more time. I don’t understand the 2-year window reference? Stafford likely has 5+ years left. With a GM like Ballard, our window should remain open longer than that. -
My thoughts on trading for Stafford are crystalizing a bit... I've stated before that my favorite option is going to the draft trying to get your QB of the future, BUT ... If you go for Stafford, IMO you need to go all in. It should not be the final big move of the off-season if we get Stafford. You move money around and you do everything you can do to get: - Allen Robinson or Godwin or Kenny Golladay. - a legitimate DE in FA or trade - Rhodes back + maybe even one more corner. It might become tight money wise but IMO you cannot go the Stafford route and do it halfway. You either go all the way or don't even try it... Just go get a QB from the draft and build around him for the future. We will have about 2 year window with Stafford on reasonable contract and we need to use that window...
