Live in Los Angeles, it's the Herd, wherever you may be and however you may be listening, thanks for making us part of your day. We've got a lot of things J. Mac brewing today. Yesterday, J. Mac just threw out a little nugget, a little McNugget. He said, you know Matt Stafford, Giants. This was actually two days ago. Keep your eye on it. Oh, things are percol. A story that Jay Glazer and Jordan Schultz broke. I think it was on Super Bowl Sunday or Saturday. Jets were going to move off Aaron Rodgers. Well, that is official this morning. So it came down late this morning. This is clearly was a Jets decision. Last week we met with Aaron Rodgers, said new jets head coach Aaron Glenn and we informed him were moving off. I can see J. Max pumping his fist over there. That has been his mantra for the last six months. So this was. This is pretty interesting. Aaron contacted the jets much like he contacted the packers, and they both dumped him. In my opinion. Aaron will tell you, hey, I'm gonna wrap it up. Heck of a career, he can say that. That's all BS Aaron needs a third act. You do not want to be remembered. Favre had success in Minnesota. Peyton Manning wins a Super bowl in Denver. Tom wins ones in Tampa. You're known as a quarterback. That leaves Green Bay and the packers the next year are better without you. And you bomb in New York and become kind of a zany conspiracy theorist. That is not what you got. Want to be remembered as Aaron's going to tell you, I don't listen to traditional news. I do my own homework. I don't care about criticism. B.S. everybody hears it. People care what you say about them. You do. I do. Everybody does so. And what's really interesting here is the J. The jets do not have a succession plan. Okay? The jets don't have a quarterback. It's a bad quarterback class. I want you to think about this because this is what I told you Monday on the show and I said it Sunday night, my podcast on the Volume. I told you this. This is not just moving off Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback. What the jets are telling you is in a quarterback league, they have no succession plan. And they told Aaron, yeah, we're good here. This is not an indictment of Aaron the quarterback. He was good. It's an indictment on Aaron the person. They don't want him in the building. This is a coach with the rebuild. He doesn't want him in the building because Aaron's last 10 games hit a 97 passer rating. He was. He was actually pretty darn good. That's why I was surprised they didn't bring him back. Aaron's got a market and by the way, with an incompetent coaching staff, he put up those numbers so Aaron can play. Is, is, is. And I'll say this, if it was about giving Aaron the control of the franchise, hard pass. But if you give him a competent staff, I'm all in. And I think this is a real moment here. Second franchise dumped you and I don't care about your resume, I don't care if you're a supermodel, if you get dumped by a long haul trucker. Time to look in the mirror and work on that personality. Aaron has sort of had this. I'm above football. I'm not going to do this. I'm off to Egypt. Stop the nonsense. You're not, you're not that quarterback anymore, okay? You could have done that seven years ago. It's a different time. So the New York jets, who do not have a quarterback basically said, we are good here. Not only do the jets not have a quarterback, it's a bad quarterback draft class. I had another executive tell me last night there's a reason the Giants want Matt Stafford. They're telling you they don't like the quarterback draft class. They don't like Cam Ward and they don't like Shador Sanders and they don't like Jalen Melro. That's why that story is surfaced now. Albert Breer is on next hour. So there is a quote this morning in an Albert Breer story that Matt Stafford, the big domino in this year's quarterback market is Matt Stafford. So I am going to propose something. I'm just proposing it, but I made a couple of calls yesterday, a couple of texts this morning. I'm going to propose something and I yesterday I was talking to a longtime NFL exec and he said this is not crazy, okay? The Rams like Matt Stafford, but they're tiring of the constant quarterback talk. His wife saying things publicly. They're not real happy with Cooper Cup. Going public was something they tried to keep quiet. They're kind of over Cooper cup and with that a little bit. Matt Stafford, they like him, but they don't want to restructure his deal and give him a big contract. Meanwhile, the Giants do not like the quarterback class and Brian Dabel, the head coach and Joe Shane, the GM have got to win or they'll be fired by Thanksgiving, okay? They're going to get run out of the building because if they don't have a quarterback, Washington now is big time. Philadelphia will Steamroll them. The packers, the Bears, the Rams. NFC is getting better and the Giants have some good players. So they are going to make a move, I believe on Matt Stafford. And the first person to talk about this on the air was J. Mac. I'm going to give him credit on this. He was like five days ago. So what the Rams want? I'm told they want the Giants first round picket number three. So they probably want a first, a second, a first, a third. But you got to pay Stafford. If you're the Giants, you have to give them a new deal. They'll probably get a first and a fourth. But let's just talk about that number three pick. The Rams want that number three pick in the draft because they're drafting away later. They want to take that pick, move down and get more picks. Why? So they have extra picks for next year when they have to move up to get a quarterback. So what the Rams will be in the market for if Matt Stafford moves is a one to two year rental at quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Hear me out. Aaron needs a rehab. Packers got better without him. His image, big advertisers not interested. Jets was a mess, he needs a rehab. Got a house in Malibu. West coast guy, by the way, in a division with Geno, Smith, Kyler, Murray, Brock, Purdy. Aaron Rodgers Last 10 games Last year he was good. He was actually. And remember that was with a third tier coaching staff. Now he gets McVeigh, an established O line, an excellent young defense. Remember, Matt Lafleur's brother is the OC with Sean McVeigh. Well, he's been in that system before. So Aaron knows the system with the Rams. I believe Aaron is craving infrastructure, stability, a head coach. He respects organizational excellence. If the Rams do move down and do get the Giants number one pick, don't be surprised if they don't draft T. Mac, the Arizona wide receiver to replace Cooper cup, who they're moving off of. He is easily the best receiver in this draft. So this sounds crazy. The Matt Stafford of the Giants thing is real, I'm told. I am told. They like Matt Stafford, but he's old. Let's be honest. You look at the playoffs, there were two immobile quarterbacks, Stafford and Goff. It is a mobile quarterback league. We just had another mobile quarterback win. Brady's the last pocket guy, right? Like that's, that's, that's. Stafford's the last great pocket quarterback. Ramsmont, inexpensive rental quarterback for one year. So, and I'll, and I'll say this again, giving Aaron Rodgers the key Keys to the kingdom. I'm not interested in that. I know what his personality is. Right. I'm not interested in that. But having Aaron come as a one or a two year rental rehab. Absolutely. Aaron to the Rams, Stafford to the Giants. Remember Aaron Rodgers last year with a third tier coaching staff, threw more touchdown passes than Patrick Mahomes, Jaden Daniels and Justin Herbert. What are you rolling your eyes? He did. Okay, so I'm just, I am, I am saying Stafford of the Giants, that GM and that coach got a vote of confidence. They're not winning. They're done. And now with Jaden Daniels, those are two Ls. If you have the quarterback situation you have, you just put down 04 Eagles commanders. Put it down. Matt Stafford gives you instant credibility. Malik neighbors, you got a one. Thomas a left tackle, you got that. That solves a lot of problems for the Giants. A lot of problems for the New York Giants. The team you don't like. So you're torn. Today you hate the Giants and love the so you're torn.
